As a Senior AI Security Engineer, you would be responsible for: Defining Clariness' security engineering strategy and roadmap, and building and operating the security function across application security, cloud security, AI and LLM security, vulnerability management and supporting security tooling. Working directly with engineering teams on secure system design, threat modelling, penetration testing and vulnerability remediation, while embedding appropriate security controls into development processes and CI/CD pipelines. Owning AI security and governance across LLM-powered features, RAG systems and agentic pipelines, including assessing and mitigating risks covered by the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.

Evaluating, deploying and continuously improving AI-powered security automation, including autonomous vulnerability triage, LLM-powered alert analysis, compliance evidence gathering and AI-assisted threat intelligence.

Experience assessing, testing or implementing security controls for LLM‑powered applications, RAG systems or agentic pipelines. Hands‑on experience with AI agents, either building them for security automation or securing them through adversarial testing, sandboxing and privilege controls. Demonstrable compliance experience involving at least one SOC 2 audit cycle, GDPR programme ownership or implementation of EU AI Act requirements, including the ability to produce audit‑ready documentation and work with external auditors. Experience in a regulated industry such as clinical research, pharmaceuticals, healthtech or fintech, with knowledge of GxP or comparable regulated data‑handling requirements considered a strong advantage, alongside strong English communication skills at C1 level.
