[Hiring] Software Engineer, IT Risk Management @Cisco

Role Description

The role is listed as remote and can be performed from anywhere in the US.

Meet the Team: Commerce Engineering Productivity & Platforms (CEP&P) is a fast-moving, multifaceted engineering organization that adapts quickly to changing business and technology needs. We are launching IT Risk Management (ITRM) to support all of Cisco AI + IT with real-time risk insight, resilience testing, and closed-loop remediation. CEP&P brings together shared-service functions that enable teams across Cisco. You’ll work with some of Cisco’s most cutting-edge engineers and technical leaders as we invent how AI-native delivery changes the way we build, operate, and manage risk.

Your Impact:

• Build the technical engine that helps ITRM respond to risk at machine speed.
• Use Circuit My Agent and sub-agents to turn signals from security exposure, lifecycle and technical debt, SOX, resilience, identity and AI security, GRC, and portfolio ownership into real-time risk insights and closed-loop action.
• Help move the organization from retrospective reporting to risk reduction that is tested, verified, and improved.
• Design, build, and operate Circuit My Agent and sub-agent workflows that sense signals, map exposure, prioritize risk by business impact, and deliver real-time insights.
• Integrate enterprise sources such as ServiceNow, ESP, CMDB, AppSec and vulnerability tooling, SOX evidence, resilience tests, and audit or MAP actions into trusted risk intelligence.
• Implement rules, guardrails, and automated controls that detect drift or unsafe change across systems, models, data, and dependencies, with human review for exceptions.
• Test resilience, control effectiveness, and AI lifecycle safeguards before disruption and as systems evolve, using telemetry and evidence to identify gaps.
• Build closed-loop workflows that track action, verify risk reduction, and develop lessons back into design.
• Partner with the Risk Lead, domain owners, Security Primes, PSAs, and engineers to productionize the capability.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience building production applications, integrations, or automation.
• AI-first attitude with demonstrated ability to experiment with emerging models, developer tools, and agentic workflows; knows the latest model capabilities and challenges established ways of working.
• Experience building APIs, event-driven services, or automated workflows using Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or a comparable language.
• Experience integrating signals or telemetry from multiple enterprise systems into risk intelligence, alerts, dashboards, or operational reporting.
• Experience with source control, CI/CD, and automated testing for services running in production.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience applying AI models, agents, or sub-agents to improve engineering productivity, quality, or risk reduction; evaluates emerging tools and trends and turns useful experiments into production capabilities.
• Experience with IT risk, security, compliance, resilience, or control data, such as SOX evidence, vulnerabilities, CMDB, ServiceNow, or GRC platforms.
• Experience implementing rules, telemetry, automated controls, or resilience and control-effectiveness testing for production systems.
• Experience designing dashboards or measures for real-time risk insight, signal-to-action time, verified closure, automation coverage, or repeat-risk reduction.
• Constructive communication and active listening. Identifies obstacles early, follows through to reliable outcomes, and influences through peer networking.

Benefits

• Medical, dental and vision insurance.
• 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution.
• Paid parental leave.
• Short and long-term disability coverage.
• Basic life insurance.
• 10 paid holidays per full calendar year, plus 1 floating holiday for non-exempt employees.
• 1 paid day off for employee’s birthday, paid year-end holiday shutdown, and 4 paid days off for personal wellness determined by Cisco.
• Non-exempt employees receive 16 days of paid vacation time per full calendar year.
• Exempt employees participate in Cisco’s flexible vacation time off program.
• 80 hours of sick time off provided on hire date and each January 1st thereafter.
• Optional 10 paid days per full calendar year to volunteer.
