Detailed Job Description:
Position Title: Director, AI Security Platform Engineer Location: Remote Duration: 12 Months CTH/TTH
About the Role:
The Director, AI Security Platform Engineer will serve as a player-coach engineering leader responsible for defining, building, and evolving a multi-service security compliance platform that serves as the connective tissue across the AI security program while leading and growing the small, nimble team that builds it. As AI security capabilities mature from individual tools into an interconnected program spanning agent governance, edge defense, continuous testing, compliance evidence, and security operations the organization needs a unifying technical architecture that connects evidence collection, control management, risk scoring, and compliance reporting into a coherent platform.
This is a hands-on leadership role: you will manage a small engineering team while remaining the platform's strongest individual contributor writing production code, owning the architecture, and coordinating integration contracts across teams. It is a player-coach role weighted toward personal delivery, approximately 60% hands-on engineering and architecture, 40% people leadership and cross-organizational coordination. You lead by building alongside the team, not from above it: setting technical direction through the code you ship, growing engineers through direct mentorship and review, and keeping a small team punching above its weight.
The ideal candidate will combine senior-level distributed systems engineering with the ability to lead a lean team and influence across organizational boundaries someone who can resolve a protocol choice with an ADR and implement the service that proves it out, unblock and mentor an engineer on the team, and align three peer teams on the integration contract, all in the same day.
