Principal Cybersecurity Network AI

Role Overview

• Provide expert leadership over security governance, architecture, and risk decisions impacting mission-critical systems for the FirstNet program
• Design, build, and own security automation and AI-enabled capabilities that reduce manual control execution, reporting, and risk analysis across the FirstNet security lifecycle
• Design, build, Secure and maintain security control data and AI-driven security capabilities that improve efficiency, consistency, and visibility of the FirstNet security posture
• Analyze large or complex data sets (e.g., vulnerability, configuration, telemetry, or operational data) to identify security trends, anomalies, and systemic risk
• Perform security architecture and risk reviews for FirstNet platforms, services, and APIs, translating findings into implementable engineering and data solutions
• Build and enhance backend services, pipelines, or integrations (hands-on development expected), to orchestrate automated security workflows, control checks, and data-driven decisioning, with minimal emphasis on user interface work
• Drive secure delivery practices by contributing to and improving CI/CD pipelines, security-as-code patterns, data quality checks, and automated validation and evidence generation for security controls
• Partner with engineering, product, and operations teams to operationalize security and data requirements into scalable controls, standards, and procedures supporting FirstNet
• Brief leadership and stakeholders on cybersecurity posture, automation-driven efficiency gains, data-driven risk insights, and remediation progress.

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science desired
• At least 7 years of equivalent Cybersecurity experience
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing security automation (e.g., control checks, data ingestion, reporting, risk scoring, or remediation workflows) to reduce manual effort and improve operational scale leveraging AT&T available AI Technology
• Strong hands-on experience with data analysis or data driven engineering, including working with structured and unstructured datasets to support security or operational outcomes
• Advanced proficiency in Python and applied AI/ML, with experience using cloud native services (AWS and Azure) to build automations, intelligent analytics, and AI-assisted security workflows (e.g., Glue, Athena, QuickSight, Sagemaker, Bedrock, Power Automate, Copilot for Git and VS Code)
• Working knowledge of databases, data models, and data processing concepts relevant to security analytics and reporting
• Demonstrated experience improving engineering outcomes through CI/CD, automation, and disciplined code review practices
• Lead at enterprise scale and translate data insights into actionable security decisions
• Preferred certifications include CISSP, CISM, and CRISC
