Llm In Cybersecurity Jobs in New York (NOW HIRING)

ADP is Hiring aSenior Manager, Cybersecurity Engineer - AI & Application Protection

In this role, you will lead a highly capable engineering team responsible for designing, building, and scaling protective security capabilities for Generative AI, agentic applications, and modern application environments. You will help turn ambiguous and rapidly evolving security problems into clear engineering priorities while developing engineers and creating opportunities for them to contribute in meaningful ways.

You will work closely with engineers on the development and maturity of ADP's GenAI Guardrails and application protection controls while helping drive emerging work in agentic development security, LLM-driven security scanning, security evaluation, developer enablement, and other greenfield AI initiatives. You will be expected to understand the technology deeply enough to challenge assumptions, guide technical decisions, and contribute directly when appropriate.

You will lead a team with responsibilities spanning software development, DevSecOps, security policy and scanner tuning, platform engineering, and application engagement. Our mission is simple - build systems to automate repetition while keeping the human in the loop for novel decisions - so that we can continue to mature at the pace of AI.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineering leader with significant AI and software development experience who enjoys growing people, solving ambiguous technical problems, and helping teams turn new ideas into scalable production capabilities.

Candidates coming from software or platform engineering leadership rather than a dedicated cybersecurity organization are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate a strong security mindset, significant practical understanding of AI technologies and risks, and the ability to rapidly develop deeper expertise as the threat and technology landscape evolves.
