GEICO is seeking a Senior Staff Engineer in AI Security Architecture to design and build the next generation of intelligent cybersecurity automation. This is a hands-on technical role for someone who thinks in systems, codes with discipline, and sees AI as an engineering surface — not a shortcut. You'll operate at the intersection of security architecture, agentic AI development, and developer enablement, helping engineering teams across the enterprise build securely and ship confidently.
What You'll Do
Design, build, and maintain agentic AI systems — including React loops, tool orchestration, and RAG pipelines — in production-grade Python
Author and refine complex, domain-rich prompts that encode security architecture knowledge into reliable, repeatable LLM-powered workflows
Conduct AI-assisted architecture and secure design reviews across enterprise systems, identifying weaknesses early and guiding teams toward paved-road solutions
Partner with engineering teams as a hands-on security architecture advisor — reviewing designs, accelerating production readiness, and raising the bar on secure-by-default thinking
Build and maintain integrations with enterprise platforms including Azure AD, Azure DevOps, Slack, and internal APIs, with a strong command of the auth and governance landscape that comes with them
Write infrastructure-as-code and automation tooling using Terraform and/or Ansible to operationalize security controls at scale
Apply your knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and orchestration both as surfaces to secure and as tools to build with
What You Bring
Strong security architecture background — you can identify automation opportunities before they're on anyone's roadmap, design novel solutions, and guide teams toward secure, scalable patterns
Hands-on experience building fully agentic AI systems; chatbot wrappers don't count
Demonstrated ability to write long, complex, domain-rich prompts for production LLM workflows
Production-grade Python skills and the discipline to keep a codebase clean as it scales
Deep understanding of AI/ML concepts and how they intersect with security risk and assisted coding workflows
Experience with Terraform and/or Ansible for infrastructure automation
Broad hands-on experience with CI/CD, networking, containerization, and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker) — both as things you secure and as tools you build with
Fluency writing API-driven automations and integrating with enterprise platforms
Experience
8+ years in software engineering, security engineering, or a hybrid architecture role
3+ years of hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (Azure preferred)
Demonstrated experience shipping production AI/ML systems or security automation tooling
Experience with identity and access patterns, OAuth/OIDC, and enterprise auth integrations
Education
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience
