Descripción de la vacante

EY Challenger seeks a security leader to embed AI security across data, tools, and processes. You will work with product and engineering teams, prove controls under adversarial conditions, and replace one-off reviews with reusable patterns, measurable coverage, and rehearsed responses when systems misbehave.

The role requires 5+ years of experience, a Bachelor's degree, and travel up to 50% with hybrid office flexibility.

Formación

• 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant field.
• Experience in product, application, cloud, platform, or detection security, including hands‑on ownership of production controls.
• Threat modeling: ability to assess complex systems and turn attack paths into practical engineering measures.
• Production security: securing modern applications, cloud environments, identities, data, and pipelines.
• AI systems knowledge: understanding generative and agentic AI, including retrieval, model access, tool use, evaluation, and runtime behavior.
• Hands‑on automation: building/extending security tests, controls, telemetry, and reference implementations.
• Response experience: supporting vulnerability or incident response and translating lessons into stronger controls.
• Cross-functional delivery: partnering with engineers and risk functions to improve security while balancing user value.
• Travel and On-site: up to 50% travel with hybrid office requirements.

Responsabilidades

• Set the security direction. Own reusable AI security patterns, control objectives, reference architectures, and threat models aligned to the risk and autonomy of each use case.
• Join builders early. Work with teams before key design choices are fixed, identifying credible attack paths and shaping controls.
• Design scoped authority. Create practical patterns for identity, access, isolation, approvals, and recovery so tool-using AI acts within clear boundaries.
• Protect sensitive information. Embed security across the data lifecycle, preserving confidentiality, integrity, provenance, permitted use, and monitored access.
• Secure the delivery path. Integrate automated security tests, policy gates, trusted artifacts, traceable changes, and safe rollback into engineering workflows.
• Test adversarially. Run focused red-team exercises against AI-specific abuse cases and convert findings into repeatable tests and guidance.
• Build runtime protection. Use end-to-end evidence and behavioral signals to detect abnormal actions and privilege misuse.
• Strengthen response. Support vulnerability triage and incidents with evidence, recovery actions, and lessons.
• Advise on residual risk. Provide concise technical recommendations to product and risk leaders while keeping ownership.
• Build shared capability. Create reference implementations, coach engineers, and turn production lessons into reusable controls.
