confidential computing and external or customer-managed key management.* Experience shipping products under third-party assurance regimes (FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria, eIDAS, SOC 2, FedRAMP), where certification evidence is an engineering deliverable rather than a compliance afterthought.* Proven ability to influence executive stakeholders and drive strategic decisions.* Experience leading cross-functional teams in complex global organizations.# Preferred Qualifications* Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Business, or related field.* Experience deploying Generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM) solutions at enterprise scale, and securing them in production.* Knowledge of agentic AI architectures, AI orchestration frameworks, the Model Context
