  • Develop and maintain internal guidance for developers using AI coding assistants, including expectations for review, testing, and scanning of AI generated code
  • Evaluate and pilot AI assisted capabilities within the application security workflow such as finding triage, false positive reduction, and remediation guidance
  • Track developments in AI security guidance and standards and translate them into practical internal requirements and guidance

Key skills and experience:
