Job description

We are looking for an AI Security Engineer to secure our AI-driven systems, including LLM-based applications, machine learning models, and AI-enabled automation tools. This role will focus on identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risks across the AI lifecycle — from model development and training to deployment and runtime monitoring. The ideal candidate combines strong security engineering experience with a deep understanding of machine learning systems and emerging AI-specific threats (prompt injection, model poisoning, data leakage, adversarial attacks).

Key Responsibilities

• AI/ML Security Architecture
  • Design and implement security controls for AI/ML systems across development, training, and production
  • Secure LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, and AI APIs
  • Conduct threat modeling for AI systems and data pipelines
  • Define secure-by-design patterns for AI-powered features
• AI Threat Detection & Mitigation
  • Identify and mitigate AI-specific threats: prompt injection, jailbreak techniques, model poisoning, data contamination, adversarial attacks, training data leakage, insecure model serialization, excessive permissions in AI agents
  • Develop guardrails, content filters, and output validation mechanisms
  • Implement monitoring for anomalous AI behavior
• Secure Development & DevSecOps
  • Integrate AI security checks into CI/CD pipelines
  • Perform security reviews of ML code and AI-related infrastructure
  • Secure model registries and artifact storage
  • Collaborate with other engineers and platform teams to enforce security standards
• Data Protection & Compliance
  • Ensure AI systems comply with GDPR, data privacy regulations, financial industry regulatory requirements
  • Implement controls for sensitive data used in training and inference
  • Perform AI risk assessments aligned with internal risk methodology
• Governance & Policy
  • Contribute to AI security standards and internal policies
  • Define AI risk classification and control frameworks
  • Support security reviews for new AI initiatives and tools

Required Qualifications

• 3‑5+ years in software engineering, ML engineering, or application security
• Hands‑on experience with AI/ML systems — LLMs, NLP models, or similar
• Python proficiency for automation and scripting
• Experience working with Claude Code
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Experience with API security, Docker, Kubernetes
• Knowledge of AI-specific security risks and mitigations
• Experience conducting threat modeling and risk assessments

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with RAG architectures, vector databases, ML pipelines (MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker)
• Experience in fintech or regulated environments
• Knowledge of AI governance frameworks (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001)
• Experience with AI red teaming
• Background in cybersecurity or application security (OWASP, Secure SDLC)

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to translate technical risk into business impact
• Able to explain AI security risks and mitigations to non‑security teams
• Cross‑functional collaboration with ML, data, and product teams
• Clear documentation and communication skills
