Senior Principal Engineer, AI & Business Transformation

Who is Forcepoint (https://himalayas.app/companies/forcepoint)?Forcepoint (https://himalayas.app/companies/forcepoint) simplifies security for global businesses and governments. Forcepoint (https://himalayas.app/companies/forcepoint)'s all-in-one, truly cloud-native platform makes it easy to adopt Zero Trust and prevent the theft or loss of sensitive data and intellectual property no matter where people are working. 20+ years in business. 2.7k employees. 150 countries. 11k+ customers. 300+ patents. If our mission excites you, you're in the right place; we want you to bring your own energy to help us create a safer world. All we're missing is you! Forcepoint (https://himalayas.app/companies/forcepoint)'s operating model hasn't kept pace with the business — accumulated approval layers, fragmented process ownership, and substantial AI-driven efficiency left unrealized. The AI & Business Transformation function exists to close that gap through a continuous loop: sense where the business is costing money or slowing down, redesign those processes end-to-end, and deliver them as AI-driven workflows on the Forcepoint (https://himalayas.app/companies/forcepoint) Intelligence Platform. The Senior Principal Engineer sits at the intersection of business intent and engineered outcome. Day-to-day, that means partnering closely with the VP to sequence and deliver the transformation portfolio; co-architecting the agentic delivery layer with the CIO and platform engineering team; aligning on data foundations and benefits realization with the CFO and Finance; coordinating workforce impact and AI Ambassador adoption with the CHRO; ensuring security, governance, and auditability with the CISO; and working directly with functional and business-unit leaders who own the processes targeted for transformation. This role is the most senior technical authority in this function — an individual-contributor reporting to the VP, AI & Business Transformation, with no direct reports and enterprise-wide scope. Influence is exercised through architecture, invention, and technical judgment. This person sets the technical vision across all three pillars of the loop: the data foundation that enables sensing, the process architecture that guides redesign, and the agentic systems and tooling that deliver transformation at scale. The platform foundation is already in place — the Forcepoint (https://himalayas.app/companies/forcepoint) Intelligence Platform is live, with MCP connectors to core business systems, a growing library of production agents, and AI Ambassadors embedded across every function. The transformation portfolio covers high-value flows including customer deprovisioning, renewal forecasting, quote-to-cash, lead-to-opportunity, and SKU creation. What's missing is the senior technical authority to make the whole loop compound: turning point solutions into a coherent, reusable agentic system that gets faster and smarter with every flow it redesigns.Key Responsibilities1. Architecture & Technical VisionSet the cross-pillar technical vision. Own the end-to-end architectural vision that connects sensing, redesign, and delivery into a single compounding loop — ensuring the data foundation, process designs, and agentic systems reinforce one another rather than fragmenting into disconnected point solutions.Architect the agentic delivery layer. Define how redesigned processes become production-grade AI agents, Skills, and tooling on the Forcepoint (https://himalayas.app/companies/forcepoint) Intelligence Platform — establishing the reference architecture, orchestration patterns, exception-handling models, and human-in-the-loop standards the broader organization builds against.Build AI-first capability on AWS and Bedrock. Establish the cloud and model foundation on AWS and Amazon Bedrock — delivering model access, agent orchestration, and platform services that are scalable, observable, and cost-efficient, while keeping the architecture model-flexible enough to adopt the strongest models as the landscape evolves.2. Process Redesign & DeliveryTranslate process redesign into engineered outcomes. Partner with functional leaders and transformation owners to take flagged, re-architected flows and turn them into automated, governed, observable systems — owning the technical design from contract-end trigger through cross-system orchestration to benefits realization.Prove value through visible wins. Identify and deliver high-leverage quick wins that build organizational confidence, then convert them into durable, scalable architecture — balancing near-term proof with long-term platform coherence.3. Data, Measurement & GovernanceStrengthen the sensing foundation. Shape the data architecture, KPI instrumentation, and benefits-realization tracking that let the organization measure whether redesigned work actually moved a number — reconciled with Finance and built on the enterprise data platform.Drive technical governance for AI.
