United States Digital Space LLC; United States; Remote; USD 100,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

BV Teck seeks an ML Security Engineer to design and implement security controls for AI/ML systems in a fully remote U.S. role.

You will lead threat modeling, build guardrails for model endpoints, and drive incident response for AI-specific events, ensuring data integrity and compliance across AI pipelines. The role emphasizes hands-on security in LLM workloads, prompt injection mitigation, and secure training/fine-tuning processes, with deep knowledge of cloud security and cryptography

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field.
• 6+ years of security engineering experience, with AI/ML systems.
• Strong understanding of LLM internals and modern AI architectures.
• Hands-on security controls design for AI-powered apps.
• Deep knowledge of application security, identity, and cryptography.
• Experience with threat modeling and security architecture reviews.
• Familiarity with adversarial ML, prompt injection, and model abuse.
• Proficiency in Python and at least one systems language.
• Strong cloud security knowledge and modern infra controls.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement security controls targeting LLM and AI-powered risks.
• Build threat models for AI systems, including prompt injection, data exfiltration, and abuse patterns.
• Design and deploy guardrails, content filters, and policy enforcement layers around model endpoints.
• Implement runtime detection and response capabilities for adversarial prompts and abusive behavior.
• Secure training and fine-tuning pipelines, including data provenance, integrity, and access controls.
• Design controls for sensitive data handling, retention, and redaction in LLM workflows.
• Lead red-team exercises against AI systems and drive remediation of identified weaknesses.
• Evaluate and harden third-party AI services and open-source AI components used internally.
• Implement identity, authorization, and tenant-isolation patterns for multi-tenant AI services.
• Drive supply chain security for ML artifacts including weights, datasets, and inference dependencies.
• Collaborate with privacy, legal, and compliance teams to ensure AI systems meet regulatory obligations.
• Develop monitoring, logging, and detection strategies tailored to AI workloads.
• Lead incident response for AI-specific security events and drive durable improvements.
• Stay current with adversarial ML, LLM security research, and emerging regulatory developments.
