The role
Change your life and continue developing your professional career at Mapfre! You will be part of an international environment where you can innovate by participating in global projects focused on the latest technological trends. All this in a flexible and agile environment surrounded by excellent professionals from all over the world... are you ready?
From the Cybersecurity department, we want to recruit an Autonomous Cybersecurity Specialist specialized in software development and operating at the intersection of AI engineering and autonomous cybersecurity offense, evolving traditional ethical hacking reviews towards new pentesting models based on agents and the use of artificial intelligence.
You will collaborate and serve as the reference for ethical hacking in projects that use AI/LLMs, automation, software development pipelines, etc.
What you'll do
- Secure Software Development and AI Agent Review: Design, develop, and implement autonomous AI agents for pentesting (LLM-powered, multi-step workflows). Review code generated by agents, validate decision logic, identify software failure points, and guarantee predictable behavior of architectures. Perform automated reviews of prompt injection, jailbreaks, and reasoning chain manipulation.
- Automated Code Analysis: Implement mechanisms to review pull requests from a security perspective, identify vulnerabilities (injection, authentication, data confidentiality), propose architectural fixes, and guarantee compliance with internal standards. Be able to work with multiple stacks (Python, Java, Nodejs, Go, etc.) and modern frameworks used at Mapfre.
- Guarantee compliance with the European Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) for all elements developed and implemented at Mapfre that use Artificial Intelligence or agentic technology.
- Integrate advanced security laboratory tools for automated use: scanners/vulnerability identification, asset enumeration, vulnerability analysis, image and pipeline inspection, etc.
- Establish, lead, and manage services associated with secure software development, security reviews, etc.
- Participate in project definition meetings, ensuring the correct use of the aforementioned technologies and pursuing the increase in software security and company processes.
- Promote and provide specialized support in terms of security across various technological transformation projects.
Where are we?
In Majadahonda, Community of Madrid.
What will your activities be?
- Design, develop, and implement autonomous AI agents for pentesting and code review, identifying new vulnerabilities and performing end-to-end exploitation. Validate decision logic and identify failure points to guarantee predictable behavior of AI models.
- Perform automated batteries of prompt injection, jailbreaks, and reasoning chain manipulation, establishing guardrails that limit agent autonomy and prevent unwanted behaviors. Document edge cases and expected behavior against malicious inputs.
- Implement automatic security review mechanisms for code repositories (SCM), validating specific development activities such as pull requests for different languages (Python, Java, Node.js, Go, etc.), with the aim of detecting vulnerabilities or preventing the exposure of sensitive data. Propose solutions at an architectural level and integrate dependency analysis (SCA) to detect libraries with known CVEs, ensuring that false positives do not slow down development.
- Connect advanced security laboratory tools to automated pipelines: vulnerability scanners (DAST, SAST, IAST), asset enumeration, Docker image analysis, CI/CD pipeline inspection, APIs, and secret detection in repositories. Automate the entire flow so that reviews are executed without manual intervention.
- Classify each developed AI system or agent according to its risk level in accordance with EU Regulation 2024/1689 and perform conformity assessments. Generate and maintain required technical documentation (purpose, data, metrics, biases), ensure human oversight in high-risk systems, mark AI-generated content, and establish complaint and correction mechanisms for automated decisions. Stay updated on European Commission guidelines and prepare for internal and external audits.
- Ensure that the technical decisions adopted increase the security of the software and company processes.
- Ensure that stacks, frameworks, and technological tools comply with internal security standards.
- Permanently develop, implement, and evaluate the frameworks, methodologies, procedures, and tools necessary to carry out the analysis and management of the Cyber Risks to which Mapfre is exposed.
- Improve, through the use of automatic tools or AI, the capabilities of identifying and discarding false positives in traditional security tools.
- Understand the latest trends in cyberattacks, information system protection mechanisms, and response methods, as well as perform controlled analysis of the artifacts and techniques used in various cyberattack campaigns.
- Automate the technical checks and tests necessary to discern if Mapfre's assets are vulnerable to such attacks in different technological environments (on-premise, cloud, hybrid, etc.).
- Advise the different areas of the company on Security matters encompassed within their scope of competence.
- Prepare and execute dissemination and internal training activities on Security matters included in their scope of competence, contributing to the establishment of a corporate security culture.
