Cybersecurity engineering skills – (ML/AI) recent exp. as well – not looking for someone to create any LLM – someone who has exp. with ML/AI tools in a cybersecurity function (how to use them)
Job function is on how types of tools would impact (from AI governance perspective) – reviewing how software / tools would be used and impacts
How tools would work with Cybersecurity defense and offense (not primarily offense – more of an interest)
Not and AI development role
Have not defined the tools yet – anything new
