Job Description

Principal Engineer leading the AI, Security Operations Data, and tooling ecosystem at Allstate. Responsible for architecture, engineering standards, and tooling readiness in Cyber Operations.

Responsibilities:

  • Define reference architecture, technical standards, and reusable primitives for AI enablement services, the Security Operations Data Plane, and ecosystem integrations.
  • Establish standards for code quality, test-driven development, availability, and secure software engineering practices.
  • Engineer guardrails for AI-assisted and agentic workflows (bounded actions, least privilege, evidence logging, observability, auditability) and ensure secure-by-default configurations.
  • Ensure ingestion, transformation, schema discipline, enrichment, and analytics readiness are engineered for reliability, performance, and defensible operations.
  • When tooling operation is required, define integration contracts (APIs, schemas, telemetry, access controls), automate configuration, and ensure tooling adheres to ecosystem standards and monitoring.
  • Ensure platform services and operated tooling have runbooks, health signals, and repeatable remediation patterns.
  • Coach engineers, provide technical oversight, and serve as escalation point for complex design decisions and cross-product tradeoffs.

Requirements:

  • 7–10 years of relevant new product or technology development experience in a fast-paced environment, with demonstrated experience shipping software and managing complex integrations.
  • Undergraduate degree in engineering, computer science, marketing, or related business degree; MBA/MIS/MS desired.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-product technical strategy and influence senior stakeholders on complex design decisions.
  • Strong hands-on experience establishing CI/CD practices and operating production systems with accountability to KPIs/outcomes.
  • Security data and analytics engineering: log/telemetry pipelines, schema governance, normalization/enrichment, and query-driven analytics concepts.
  • Cloud and data platform familiarity: experience with cloud-native logging/analytics platforms, time-series/log query languages, and data ingestion/transformation patterns.
  • Automation and platform engineering: reusable libraries/services and developer enablement through paved roads/golden paths.
  • Agentic AI secure-by-design practices: least-privilege tool access, restricted interactions, resilience to manipulation, evidence logging / explainability expectations.
  • Risk, privacy, and compliance alignment: experience partnering with risk/legal/privacy stakeholders on assessment processes for AI-enabled capabilities and regulated data handling.

Benefits:

  • Allstate provides a comprehensive technology setup, including a laptop, monitors, headset, keyboard, and mouse.
  • Employees eligible to work from home also receive a monthly connectivity reimbursement to help offset internet costs.
  • When working from home, you must have a dedicated, private workspace free from distractions, along with appropriate desk and seating.
  • Reliable internet is required, with minimum speeds of 50 MB download and 5 MB upload.
