WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE AGENCY

This role sits at the intersection of traditional security engineering and modern AI-driven tooling, requiring a practitioner who can evaluate emerging AI capabilities through a security lens while executing core engineering functions across SaaS application reviews, architecture assessments, and third-party plugin governance.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on coding proficiency, a working knowledge of secure software development practices, and direct experience securing marketing technology stacks, AI-integrated platforms, and enterprise SaaS environments.

• Evaluate AI tools, models, and platforms for security risk, including prompt injection vulnerabilities, data leakage, model output integrity, and supply chain risks.
• Develop and enforce security standards for AI-assisted development workflows, including LLM-integrated CI/CD pipelines and code generation tools.
• Assess AI API integrations and third-party model usage for data handling compliance, authorization controls, and audit logging.
• Participate in the design and review of AI-powered internal tooling and automation, ensuring security requirements are embedded from inception.
• Stay current on evolving AI security threats including adversarial prompting, model poisoning, and emerging OWASP LLM Top 10 guidance.

• Conduct secure code reviews across multiple languages and frameworks, with an emphasis on Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and cloud-native applications.

• Collaborate with software engineers to embed security controls into code pipelines, authentication flows, and data handling routines.

• Lead third-party SaaS application security assessments, evaluating vendor security posture, data handling practices, access control models, and contractual compliance.
• Maintain a SaaS application inventory and risk register, conducting periodic reviews and ensuring ongoing controls alignment.
• Evaluate browser-based plugins, marketplace extensions, and integrations for privilege scope, data exfiltration risk, and policy adherence.
• Partner with Procurement and Legal during the vendor onboarding process to communicate security requirements and assess residual risk.

• Assess the security posture of marketing platforms including CRMs, CDPs, ad tech stacks, campaign automation tools, and analytics platforms.
• Evaluate data flows between marketing systems and core enterprise infrastructure, identifying excessive data sharing, weak authentication, and shadow IT exposure.
• Support the review and governance of marketing API keys, OAuth tokens, and webhook configurations.
• Partner with Marketing and Digital teams to align platform configuration with data privacy requirements (GDPR, CCPA) and organizational policy.

• Participate in architecture review boards (ARB) to assess new systems and integration patterns for security risk.
• Develop and maintain security reference architectures for SaaS integrations, AI platform connections, and plugin frameworks.
• Contribute to security policies, standards, and playbooks relevant to AI security, SaaS governance, and third-party risk.
• Support threat modeling exercises for new platform deployments and significant system changes.
