  • Apply understanding of cyber operations to design appropriate agent behaviors
  • Ensure agents align with cybersecurity best practices and operational constraints

Cyber Tool Integration

  • Connect AI agents to SIEM, SOAR, EDR, NDR, vulnerability scanners, ticketing systems
  • Leverage cybersecurity knowledge to design appropriate integrations
  • Understand data flows, alert formats, incident structures, and tool capabilities
  • Work with security APIs, webhooks, and data schemas

Cyber-Aware Workflow Design

  • Create agent patterns for SOC operations, incident response, vulnerability management
  • Apply knowledge of cyber processes to inform agent design
  • Understand alert triage, investigation procedures, threat intelligence workflows
  • Design agents that fit naturally into existing cyber operational processes

Security Controls & Access

  • Define safe boundaries for agent access to cyber systems
  • Understand risk levels of different cyber actions and tools
  • Implement appropriate controls based on cybersecurity risk assessment

  • Assess model performance on cyber-relevant tasks (alert analysis, code review, threat intel)
  • Understand what good outputs look like from a cybersecurity perspective
  • Create test environments using knowledge of cyber scenarios

Requirements

Technical AI/ML Experience

  • Hands-on experience building AI/ML systems, LLM applications, or agent-based workflows
  • Practical understanding of agent frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel)
  • Experience with RAG, model integration, and prompt engineering
  • Proficiency in Python, APIs, and integrating AI with enterprise systems
  • Familiarity with frontier models (OpenAI, Anthropic) and/or open-source models
  • Understanding of model evaluation, testing, and AI safety considerations
  • Knowledge of vector databases, embeddings, and retrieval systems

Combined/Integrated Experience

  • Ability to bridge AI/ML capabilities with cybersecurity requirements
  • Experience working with both technical and security teams
  • Understanding of how AI can enhance cyber operations and its limitations
  • Practical experience implementing technology solutions in security contexts
  • Ability to translate cyber needs into technical AI implementations
  • Experience explaining AI capabilities and limitations to security professionals
