We are looking for an experienced AI Security Engineer who can drive AI and LLM security initiatives, establish security standards, and implement robust technical controls across AI/ML platforms, agentic AI systems, and enterprise AI applications.

This role combines strategic security leadership, hands-on engineering, AI infrastructure protection, and automation. The individual will work closely with AI platform, engineering, and security teams to define security roadmaps, mitigate emerging AI threats, and establish secure-by-design practices across the AI development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

This role will focus on AI security strategy, engineering, governance, and automation.

• AI Security Strategy and Roadmap: Define and drive the long-term AI and Agentic AI security roadmap, including security architecture, technical standards, and implementation strategies in collaboration with AI platform and engineering teams.

• AI Infrastructure Security: Design and implement technical security controls to protect AI environments, including autonomous agent permissions, blast radius management, and advanced prompt injection detection.

• Model Context Protocol (MCP) Security: Establish centralized security standards for Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations and oversee secure, resilient MCP hosting infrastructure supporting autonomous AI agents.

• AI Red Teaming and Adversarial Testing: Conduct adversarial security assessments and AI red teaming exercises across machine learning systems to identify vulnerabilities related to model manipulation, data extraction, and unauthorized access.

• Threat Modeling and Architecture Reviews: Lead threat modeling initiatives and security architecture assessments for emerging AI capabilities, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, autonomous workflows, and AI-powered applications.

• Third-Party AI Security Assessments: Evaluate the security posture, privacy controls, data handling practices, and retention policies of third-party foundation models, AI platforms, and vector databases.

• AI Risk Assessment and Compliance: Serve as a technical advisor for AI tooling evaluations and data classification initiatives. Develop standardized security assessment frameworks to ensure consistent risk management and compliance.

• AI Security Governance: Establish and scale AI security governance frameworks, technical policies, and organizational standards to promote secure and responsible AI engineering practices.

• Security Enablement: Develop and communicate practical AI security guidelines, helping engineering teams, business stakeholders, and leadership safely adopt and leverage AI technologies.

• LLM Security and Runtime Protection: Architect, deploy, and automate real-time security controls for LLM inputs and outputs, including prompt injection prevention, jailbreak detection, and AI response validation.

Required Qualifications and Skills

• 7+ years of experience in information security, cybersecurity, or security engineering, including at least 2+ years focused on AI/ML security or Large Language Model (LLM) application security.

• Strong understanding of AI/ML technologies, including:

  • Transformer architectures

  • Large Language Models (LLMs)

  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

  • Prompt Engineering

  • Agentic AI and autonomous AI workflows

  • OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications

  • Deep technical expertise in cloud security, particularly AWS and GCP, including IAM, containerization, Kubernetes, and DevSecOps methodologies.

  • Hands-on experience with AI/ML security architectures, production AI deployments, and securing the end-to-end AI development lifecycle.

  • Strong knowledge of AI-specific security threats, including:

    • Prompt Injection

    • Jailbreak Attacks

    • Model Poisoning

    • Model Manipulation

    • Sensitive Data Exposure and Data Extraction

    • Experience implementing threat detection, security architecture controls, and automated security mechanisms for AI/ML environments.

    • Proficiency in Python or Go, with experience developing production-grade integrations, security automation tools, and security pipelines.

    • Experience assessing third-party AI platforms, foundation models, and AI technology supply chains.

    • Working knowledge of AI governance frameworks, emerging regulatory requirements, data privacy, and Responsible AI principles.

    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to proactively identify and address security gaps across complex AI/ML workflows.

    • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate emerging AI security risks into actionable technical roadmaps and business impact for executive leadership.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Hands-on experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) frameworks and autonomous multi-agent AI systems.

    • Strong understanding of AI-specific security and regulatory requirements, including:

      • Data residency and data localization requirements.

      • Data loss prevention and content protection controls for AI-generated outputs.

      • Permission boundaries and access restrictions for autonomous AI agents.

      • External OAuth authorization and access-scoping mechanisms.

      • Experience developing and implementing enterprise AI governance frameworks and AI enablement programs.

      • Background in designing and implementing AI platform security architectures.

      • Experience establishing security standards and governance models for enterprise-wide AI adoption.
