Please review the following job description:

The AI Agent Engineering & DevSecOps Automation Engineer is a senior engineering professional responsible for designing, developing, and operationalizing AI agents that automate DevSecOps control, engineering, and execution functions across the enterprise. This role builds secure, scalable, and reusable agentic capabilities that improve software delivery, strengthen control execution, and reduce manual effort across engineering teams.

The engineer develops agentic workflows and platform integrations that support control validation, policy enforcement, evidence collection, pipeline execution, application security remediation, infrastructure automation, engineering support, and platform operations. The role integrates AI capabilities with enterprise DevSecOps platforms, APIs, event-driven services, automation frameworks, and observability tooling while applying secure development, human oversight, auditability, and policy-as-code practices.

Success in this role requires strong software engineering fundamentals, hands-on Python and API development, experience with modern AI and LLM frameworks, and practical knowledge of DevSecOps, platform engineering, automation, and regulated technology environments. The engineer translates complex engineering and control requirements into production-grade agents and services that are measurable, maintainable, observable, and safe to operate at enterprise scale.
