• Experience designing and enforcing security standards in a heterogeneous, partly legacy landscape, and getting them adopted by teams you do not manage.
• Working knowledge of how LLM and agent systems are built and operated, and of the risks specific to them: prompt injection through untrusted data, over-scoped tool access, data exposure via retrieval, unlogged autonomous action, model and provider dependency.
• Ability to make and defend risk-based decisions, including blocking a deployment with a clear rationale, and to explain technical risk to non-technical stakeholders.
