Principal AI Architect

About the Role

This is a senior, principal-level architecture role at a well-established cybersecurity SaaS company, focused on shaping AI strategy and designing large-scale AI solutions across the organization. Sitting at the intersection of security and machine learning, this position carries significant influence over how AI is built, governed, and deployed at enterprise scale. The work directly supports the company's mission to help organizations manage and reduce cyber risk.

What You'll Do

• Design and oversee end-to-end AI architecture strategies aligned with enterprise cybersecurity objectives.
• Provide technical leadership and direction across AI and ML initiatives, guiding cross-functional teams toward scalable, production-grade systems.
• Evaluate and define AI governance, safety, and compliance frameworks appropriate for a security-focused product environment.
• Partner with engineering, product, and research stakeholders to translate business requirements into robust AI system designs.
• Establish best practices for large-scale ML infrastructure, model deployment, and ongoing system reliability.

What We're Looking For

• 12 or more years of experience spanning AI/ML systems architecture, enterprise SaaS, or related domains.
• Demonstrated background designing and delivering large-scale ML or AI infrastructure in production environments.
• Strong understanding of the cybersecurity landscape, including risk, compliance, or threat intelligence domains.
• Experience leading technical strategy and influencing across engineering and product organizations, not just individual contribution.
• Familiarity with AI governance, safety, and responsible AI principles in enterprise or regulated contexts.
• Solid computer science fundamentals and a history of working within complex, distributed SaaS platforms.
