As an Staff AI Security Developer (Global Security), you will design, build, and integrate security infrastructure protecting RBC's rapidly growing AI ecosystem — spanning hundreds of AI agents, MCP servers, LLM gateways, and agentic workflows across the bank. You will deliver production-grade capabilities in AI Security Posture Management (AI SPM), Shadow AI Discovery, and AI Security Guardrails — providing comprehensive visibility into the enterprise AI footprint and enforcing security controls across the AI lifecycle.
This hands‑on engineering role focuses on building the security foundation through robust backend services: embedding security into CI/CD pipelines, developing APIs and integrations with AI platform gateways, and connecting security tooling to the broader Cyber ecosystem. You will ship production code, own service reliability on Kubernetes, partner with AI platform and DevOps teams, and directly shape how the bank secures its rapidly growing AI footprint — accelerating regulatory readiness and setting new standards for AI security at scale.
What will you do?
- Own the availability, reliability, and performance of security services running on Kubernetes
- Design and build AI security products including AI Security Guardrails, AI SPM, and Shadow AI Discovery
- Build and maintain APIs, connectors, and data pipelines that integrate with enterprise gateways and Cyber ecosystem
- Integrate AI security tools into CI/CD deployment pipelines with automated security benchmarks and testing frameworks
- Build strong partnerships with AI platform teams, DevOps, IAM, and Security Architecture
