About the role

It's transforming how we enhance customer experiences, streamline operations, and unlock new possibilities.
Our teams are energized by innovation and readily embrace emerging technology.
We're not waiting for the future to arrive.

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.
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.
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.
7+ years experience in engineering - building and operating systems in production.
5+ years experience contributing and advising on security design.
Ability to manage competing priorities and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

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.
As a regulated gaming company, you may be required to obtain a gaming license issued by the appropriate state agency as a condition of employment.
