Job Description

Staff Security Engineer ensuring secure use of AI technology at DraftKings. Collaborating across teams to enhance security posture and architecture for emerging technology.

Responsibilities:

  • Set the security standards and guardrails for the AI platform.
  • Define the principles, reference architectures, and policy-as-code that all AI tooling at DraftKings adheres to, so that many teams can build agents and workflows while still meeting a consistent security bar.
  • Focus on specifying the environment, infrastructure, and authentication methods agents rely on, rather than reviewing every individual implementation.
  • Review and build the architecture of AI gateways and tooling.
  • Provide security review, sign-off, and possibly pair on implementation of these systems, and the systems that they interface with.
  • Make the security review process scale.
  • Streamline how AI services move through InfoSec review on their way to production, so the bar stays high but does not become the bottleneck.
  • Reduce AI-driven security noise.
  • Partner with platform and detection teams on telemetry (tool-call metrics, auditing agents over that data) and on lightweight controls like standardized system prompts that cut unnecessary investigations without slowing engineers down.
  • Drive remediation efforts of complex, cross-functional security issues. When relevant, you’ll be called into investigations to assist.
  • Coach and raise the bar. Mentor security and platform engineers, lead technical and SME discussions on AI security, and elevate the team's overall capability in this space.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years experience in engineering - building and operating systems in production.
  • 5+ years experience contributing and advising on security design.
  • Broad security fluency across infrastructure and enterprise security - endpoint protection, network security, identity, SaaS tools, and cloud security - even if your deepest expertise is in application and product security.
  • Deep hands-on ability to debug systems issues.
  • Experience writing high quality code in a typed and untyped programming language.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills — you can align engineering, platform, privacy, legal, and leadership stakeholders, and you bias toward enabling teams rather than blocking them.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Benefits:

  • bonuses
  • equity
  • benefits as applicable
