Job description

NCS is a leading technology services firm that operates across the Asia Pacific region in over 20 cities, providing consulting, digital services, technology solutions, and more. We believe in harnessing the power of technology to achieve extraordinary things, creating lasting value and impact for our communities, partners, and people. Our diverse workforce of 14,000 has delivered large-scale, mission-critical, and multi-platform projects for governments and enterprises in Singapore and the APAC region.

Job Description

As a Platform AI Security Architect, you will be part of the AI Center of Excellence (AI COE), a centralized platform team responsible for building, operating, and evolving enterprise-grade AI and data platforms consumed by multiple internal engineering project teams.

The AI COE operates as a platform product organization, not a project delivery or system integration team. It owns shared capabilities end-to-end, including integration services, AI enablement, developer tooling, observability, and governance. Success is measured by platform adoption, usability, reliability, and long-term value, rather than one-off delivery milestones.

What will you do?

Define and govern AI security architecture: Establish and maintain the AI platform security architecture aligned with enterprise and telco standards, reviewing and approving security designs for platform components and high-risk AI use cases.

Embed security-by-design across AI lifecycles: Apply Zero Trust and secure-by-design principles across infrastructure, integration, data, application, and AI layers, leading threat modelling and AI-specific risk assessments.

Ensure compliance and continuous risk remediation: Partner with Enterprise Architecture and Group Security to balance compliance and innovation, and guide remediation of findings from audits, penetration tests, and security assessments
