Vice President

Why this role?Build the security and testing strategy for Purple Fabric, the enterprise multi-agent AI platform powering mission-critical workflows for leading BFSI institutions. You'll own the vision, orchestrate execution across squads, and pioneer what "testing" means for Agentic AI, where the secure path is the fastest path to production.The missionOwn the strategy: security, privacy, and EvalOps (safety/reliability testing for agents, tools, and models)Drive integrated delivery: embed security & evaluations into everyday development and CI/CD.Lead without silos: partner with Product, Engineering, QA, Platform, Data Privacy, Compliance, and Customer teamsBe the voice: represent Purple Fabric's security vision to clients, regulators, and the industry through thought leadershipWhat you'll do?Strategy & GovernanceSet the target operating model, policies/standards (policy-as-code), and paved-road patternsChair risk/evaluation councils; maintain strategic risk register and security roadmapLead ISO/IEC 42001 readiness for AI systems alongside SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 maintenanceDefine success metrics and implement evidence-first dashboardsAgentic AI & LLM Security (learn and build with us)Build the EvalOps framework: offline/online safety & reliability evaluations, operational design domains (ODDs), risk-weighted gatesDevelop defenses against emerging LLM threats: prompt injection, jailbreaking, indirect attacks, adversarial promptsSecure RAG architectures, vector stores, agent memory, and multi-agent orchestration patternsEstablish guardrails, content filtering, and output validation for LLM responsesDeploy monitoring for AI agent behavior, anomaly detection, and DLP for LLM inputs/outputsRun red-team/purple-team exercises adapted for Agentic AI attack vectorsYou'll shape this practice, we're building it together as the field evolvesSecurity in DevelopmentEmbed automated CI/CD gates: SAST/DAST/SCA/SBOM, IaC/Kubernetes security, AI/LLM safety checksDeploy runtime canaries and security testing in productionDrive adoption of secure coding standards and threat modeling practicesOrchestrate cloud/runtime posture (Zero Trust, CNAPP, secrets/KMS, mTLS) via Platform teamsClient Trust & Thought LeadershipStand up customer trust artifacts: security scorecards, compliance portals, and audit-ready documentationLead client security reviews, assessments, and due diligence processesDrive 95% win rate on security sections of RFPs and vendor assessmentsAuthor white papers and present at conferences on Agentic AI security and responsible AIBuild Purple Fabric's reputation as a pioneer in secure AI agent deploymentTeam & CultureGrow a high-performance security organizationBuild Security & Testing Champions network across squadsFoster security-first culture through training and enablementOwnership model:Direct (Accountable): Strategy/roadmap, standards, assurance & eval frameworks, risk register, metrics & gates, thought leadershipIndirect (Orchestrate): Squad-level implementation, SecOps & IR, cloud posture, privacy controls, certification deliveryYou'll thrive here if you haveExperience & Foundation15+ years in Security with 5+ years leading cross-functional programs in regulated SaaS/BFSI environmentsStrong application security background with experience securing APIs, microservices, and cloud platformsTrack record of building security practices in emerging technology areasWhat we're looking for in AI Security?Curiosity and learning agility around LLM and Agentic AI technologiesUnderstanding of application security fundamentals that translate to AI systems (input validation, output sanitization, access controls)Willingness to become a domain expert as the field evolves, we'll invest in your growthNo formal AI security certification required, the field is too new. We value:Security engineering mindset applied to novel problemsAbility to threat-model unfamiliar systemsExperience adapting security practices to emerging technologiesInterest in researching and staying current with AI security developmentsTechnical & Strategic ExpertiseUnderstanding of NIST CSF, with interest in NIST AI RMF, OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS (we'll help you get there)Strong DevSecOps background with CI/CD security automation and cloud security (AWS/Azure/GCP)Knowledge of Zero Trust architecture, CNAPP, secrets management, Kubernetes securityFamiliarity with security frameworks and compliance requirementsLeadership & CommunicationExceptional ability to influence without authority and orchestrate across decentralized teamsOutstanding written and verbal communication for executives, clients, regulators, and technical audiencesStrong technical writing skills for white papers, thought leadership, and compliance documentation.Proven client trust-building and comfort with public speakingStrategic thinking balanced with hands-on execution capabilityWhat we offer?Pioneer a new discipline: Be among the first to define Agentic AI security at scaleOpportunity to contribute to industry standards and shape best practicesCollaborative environment with direct access to executive leadership and global BFSI clientsEvidence-first culture with shared OKRs across Product/Eng/QADirect exposure to global banks, auditors, and regulators
