Why Work at Lenovo
Description and Requirements
Lenovo Digital Trust Lab is hiring a Staff Agentic AI Security Engineer to set the technical direction for our AI-powered security agents and lead their development across the team. As one of our most senior engineers, you will own the hardest, highest-leverage agent systems end-to-end, define the architecture and standards the rest of the team builds on, and act as a force multiplier — working directly with frontier models to solve security problems at a scale and level of autonomy that has not been done before.
Job Responsibilities:
Set the technical vision and architecture for the agentic security platform — make foundational design decisions (planning, orchestration, tool use, memory, guardrails).
- Own the most complex, highest-impact agents end-to-end — from problem framing and prototyping through evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement in production at scale.
- Define the evaluation discipline: ground-truth datasets, offline and online evals, regression suites, replay tooling, and observability for non-deterministic agent behavior.
- Work directly with frontier models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) — benchmark them on security tasks and architect around their strengths and failure modes.
- Build shared patterns, frameworks, and infrastructure (prompting, tool use, retrieval, guardrails, cost controls) to reduce the cost of shipping the next agent.
- Partner with security and platform leadership to identify high-leverage opportunities and translate ambiguous problems into robust agent designs.
- Mentor and level up engineers through design reviews, pairing, and by setting standards for agent quality, safety, and reliability.
- Stay ahead of the field — track research, model releases, and emerging techniques, and convert relevant insights into a concrete roadmap.
Requirements:
BSc in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience, with a track record of senior/staff-level technical ownership; advanced degree (M.Sc. / Ph.D.) is a plus.
- 5+ years of software development experience building and operating production systems, including demonstrated technical leadership across teams or large projects.
- Deep security engineering foundations: vulnerability research and exploitation, threat modeling, and security best practices across modern on-prem, cloud, and SaaS environments.
- Strong understanding of penetration testing methodology (black-box and white-box), offensive tradecraft, and mapping technical findings to real-world risk and remediation.
- Expert-level experience designing and shipping autonomous AI agents (planning, tool use, multi-step reasoning, error recovery) in production.
- Experience architecting multi-agent systems, translating expert workflows into intelligent systems, and working with frontier reasoning models integrated with security tooling.
- Hands-on experience with agent orchestration frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, or custom systems), prompting, retrieval (RAG), grounding techniques, and AI-powered coding workflows (e.g., Claude, Cursor).
- Deep familiarity with agentic ecosystems (MCP, tooling, memory systems, skills) and harness engineering, with strong software fundamentals in Python, distributed systems, APIs, and data pipelines.
