What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on evaluating and managing security risks across four AI governance areas — generative AI, agentic AI, shadow AI, and AI gateway/Model Context Protocol governance. The work involves scoring exposures, defining controls and standards, assessing tooling, and translating governance policy into concrete technical requirements, in close collaboration with AI/ML and security engineering teams. It suits a security professional with broad domain knowledge and hands-on risk assessment experience who wants to specialize in emerging AI security challenges.

Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled without an explicit seniority level; 'Unspecified' is used for advertised seniority. The 5+ years requirement and scope of owning AI governance risk across multiple domains support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is Medium confidence. The primary day-to-day work is security risk assessment, AI governance, and control definition — squarely 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts). However, the role also involves security engineering judgment and architecture contributions, making 15-1299 a plausible runner-up.
The posting is tagged #LI-Remote and describes a hybrid/remote work structure; the role appears fully remote-eligible.
The wide compensation range ($98,900–$228,700) reflects Zoom's location-based compensation structure, as explicitly noted in the posting.
Core security domains (network, endpoint, cloud, data security) are listed under 'What we're looking for' with the qualifier 'working knowledge… sufficient to contribute' — they are framed as required breadth, not deep specializations, and are marked accordingly.
GenAI/agentic AI/LLM-based application security experience in enterprise environments is explicitly called 'a bonus'; CASB/SWG, MCP, DLP, AI gateways, shadow IT detection, threat modeling, incident response, detection engineering, and purple team are all framed as 'bonus', 'advantageous', or 'familiarity with' — all marked preferred.
CASB and SWG are listed together as interchangeable alternatives in the posting ('CASB/SWG'); emitted as one skill with the other in alternatives.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): security engineering, risk management, detection engineering.
