General Description

The GuidePoint Security North Central region is seeking a skilled AI Security Engineer to join our growing AI Security Services team within the Automation and AI Practice. You will assist customers in the design, implementation, security, and operational management of generative AI security solutions — including AI governance assessments, LLM and agent security testing, shadow AI discovery, agentic workflow development, and architecture reviews.

About the North Central AI Security Practice

You will work closely with peers across multiple domains including AppSec, Cloud Security, and Identity and Access Management to deliver holistic and secure solutions adhering to industry best practices. This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to the continued growth of our AI security practice and its expanding service portfolio.

Roles and Responsibilities

• AI Security Architecture & Assessment: Conduct secure configuration reviews and security assessments of enterprise AI platforms (e.g., Anthropic Claude Enterprise, OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot) against established control domains — including identity and provisioning, network and access enforcement, data protection and retention, and audit and compliance — identifying vulnerabilities, attack surfaces, and gaps against industry frameworks (e.g., OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS)
• Threat Modeling for AI Systems: Lead threat modeling exercises specific to AI workloads, covering prompt injection, model inversion, data poisoning, supply chain risks, excessive agency, privilege escalation through tool chaining, and unauthorized cross-application data movement across SaaS, self-hosted, and local AI deployments
• AI Coding Tool & Development Environment Security: Assess AI coding tools and development environments — including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Open Code, Cursor, and MCP servers — for sandbox isolation, plugin allowlisting, secrets access, network egress controls, and CI/CD pipeline security
• Secure AI Integration Guidance: Advise client teams on securely integrating SaaS AI services and APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) into enterprise applications, including safe handling of credentials, outputs, and user data
• Data Security & Privacy Controls: Evaluate and recommend controls for data ingestion pipelines, RAG architectures, and vector databases to prevent unauthorized data exposure, leakage through model outputs, or non-compliant data processing — including zero data retention enforcement, sensitivity labeling, data classification, and encryption key management
• Shadow AI Discovery: Conduct shadow AI discovery engagements to inventory unsanctioned AI tool usage and assess associated data exposure risks across client environments
• Security Controls & Guardrails Evaluation: Evaluate security controls and guardrails across AI platforms, including identity and access management, DLP integration, conditional access policies, SIEM and logging configurations, human-in-the-loop mechanisms, and AI-specific runtime protections
• Agentic Workflow Development: Design, build, and deploy AI agent workflows including use-case design, agent architecture, and integration with security tooling and automation platforms
• Security Architecture Reviews: Perform security architecture reviews for organizations deploying AI agents that connect to tools, data sources, or other agents via MCP or agentic frameworks, delivering reference architectures and recommendations
• Security Documentation & Deliverables: Develop and deliver engagement artifacts including secure configuration review reports, prioritized findings registers, AI security control matrices, reference architectures, risk assessments, control frameworks, and secure enablement roadmaps
• Strategic AI Security Roadmap: Contribute to the development of long‑term AI security strategies for clients, including prioritized remediation roadmaps, capability maturity assessments, and investment recommendations
• Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a trusted security advisor bridging business stakeholders, AI/ML engineers, IT operations, and information security teams — conducting stakeholder interviews and facilitating knowledge transfer sessions covering AI platform administration, troubleshooting, and operational runbooks
• AI Threat Landscape Monitoring: Continuously track emerging AI security research, adversarial techniques, regulatory developments, and vendor security advisories (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft feature releases) to keep client guidance relevant and proactive
