Cybersecurity Staff Engineer | AI Security

With a career at The Home Depot, you can be yourself and also be part of something bigger.

This engineer owns runtime protection for The Home Depot's agentic and AI traffic: the AI gateway, Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security, Google Model Armor and the Koi integration.

Role summary:

You will deploy the AI gateway with Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API on top of it, tune policies by agent persona, and extend the same protection to agents that cannot route through the gateway. You will act as the advisory engineer for configuring DLP policies in Prisma AIRS, guiding the teams that own the data on how to detect and stop exfiltration of sensitive data. You will also deploy Google Model Armor and DLP for the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and integrate Prisma AIRS with Koi AES to cover endpoint agents and MCPs.

• →Deploy the AI gateway and Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API on top of it, with policies configured per agent persona.
• →Act as the advisory engineer for configuring DLP policies in Prisma AIRS to detect and stop exfiltration of PII, credit card data and other sensitive data.
• →Define and document the process for embedding Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API, using ADK or SDK with the correct policy, in agents that cannot pass through the gateway.
• →Deploy Google Model Armor for the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform with appropriate controls, and deploy DLP policies in Security Command Center (SCC).
• →Integrate Prisma AIRS with Koi AES for endpoint agents and MCPs, passing traffic to the gateway, and embed the API by other means where traffic does not reach the gateway.
• →Deploy tools and policies that address the OWASP Top 10 risks for LLM and agentic applications.
• →Troubleshoot at the application level, and document architectures, policies and runbooks.
