What will you do at AHEAD?
AHEAD builds platforms for digital business. By weaving together advances in cloud infrastructure, automation and analytics, and software delivery, we help enterprises deliver on the promise of digital transformation. At AHEAD, we prioritize creating a culture of belonging, where all perspectives and voices are represented, valued, respected, and heard.
We create spaces to empower everyone to speak up, make change, and drive the culture at AHEAD. We are an equal opportunity employer, and do not discriminate based on an individual's race, national origin, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, marital status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law, whether actual or perceived.
We embrace all candidates that will contribute to the diversification and enrichment of ideas and perspectives at AHEAD. The Security Technical Lead - AI SOC is a production security engineer who works embedded with customer security and engineering teams to make security operations more effective, measurable, and resilient. This role owns outcomes across assessment, design, build, deployment, optimization, and operational handoff.
The primary profile is a security engineer with meaningful AI experience. You should understand how security controls operate in production, how telemetry becomes detection and response, and how to reduce risk across complex enterprise environments. You will use AI and automation to strengthen those outcomes: improving detection quality, accelerating investigations, automating response, and helping customers securely govern and operate AI systems.
This is not a theoretical AI research role or a compliance-only position. It is a hands-on engineering role requiring the ability to design, build, integrate, troubleshoot, and operate security solutions in real customer environments. AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar tools may be part of your standard delivery practice for building security tooling, detection content, automation, and governance capabilities.
