Job description

Responsibilities

AI/ML Security Assessments & Risk Management

• Conduct comprehensive security assessments of AI/ML systems, including data pipelines, model training environments, inference endpoints, and MLOps workflows.
• Identify complex risks related to data privacy, data leakage, adversarial attacks, model poisoning, prompt injection, and misuse of AI technologies.
• Evaluate threats across the AI lifecycle—from data collection to model retirement and define appropriate mitigation actions.

AI Governance & Security Controls

• Develop and implement security controls, governance frameworks, and policies for end-to-end AI lifecycle management.
• Support clients in complying with AI regulations, responsible AI principles, and data protection requirements (e.g., GDPR, NIST AI RMF).
• Create strategic roadmaps and executive-level recommendations for secure AI adoption.

Cloud & Infrastructure Security for AI

• Design secure cloud architectures for AI workloads across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Implement best practices for IAM, encryption, secrets management, container security, network segmentation, and secure data storage.
• Assess and secure APIs, microservices, and application components that support AI models and intelligent systems.

Identity & Access Management for AI Agents

• Design IAM models for AI agents, including agent identities, delegated permissions, EPHEMERAL credentials, and cross-system trust boundaries.
• Implement zero-trust principles for agent authentication, authorization, and privilege controls; develop patterns for scoped access, JIT (Just-In-Time) authorizations, short-lived tokens, and decoupled privilege elevation.
• Integrate IAM systems with AI agent orchestration and establish access governance processes, including permission reviews, certifications, and usage monitoring.

Client Communication & Advisory

• Translate technical security risks into clear business impacts that executive stakeholders can act on; prepare assessment reports, recommendations, threat models, and remediation plans for clients.
• Work cross-functionally with AI engineers, data scientists, IT security, and compliance teams to deliver secure AI solutions.

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Engineering or related discipline.
• 3–8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, cloud security, or data security roles.
• Demonstrated experience securing AI/ML platforms, models, pipelines, or agent-based systems; strong knowledge of cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP), IAM, network security, encryption, and API security.
• Understanding of AI threats such as adversarial ML, data contamination, and model theft; experience with container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) and MLOps tools (SageMaker, Vertex AI, Azure ML, MLflow).
• Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to present findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Certifications such as CCSP, CISSP, CCIE, AWS/Azure/GCP Security Specialty, or AI governance credentials.
• Experience in responsible AI, AI policy, or AI compliance frameworks.
• Background in security engineering, threat modeling, or red teaming for AI systems.
• Experience working in consulting organizations or large enterprise security programs.

Shortlisted candidate will be offered a 6 months Agency contract employment, subject to extension.
