Job Description
We are looking for an AI Security Engineer to secure our AI-driven systems, including LLM-based applications, machine learning models, and AI-enabled automation tools.
This role will focus on identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risks across the AI lifecycle — from model development and training to deployment and runtime monitoring.
The ideal candidate combines strong security engineering experience with a deep understanding of machine learning systems and emerging AI-specific threats (e.g., prompt injection, model poisoning, data leakage, adversarial attacks).
Key Responsibilities::
AI/ML Security Architecture
• Design and implement security controls for AI/ML systems across development, training, and production.
• Secure LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, and AI APIs.
• Conduct threat modeling for AI systems and data pipelines.
• Define secure-by-design patterns for AI-powered features.
AI Threat Detection & Mitigation
• Identify and mitigate AI-specific threats: prompt injection and jailbreak techniques, model poisoning and data contamination, adversarial attacks, training data leakage, insecure model serialization, excessive permissions in AI agents.
• Develop guardrails, content filters, and output validation mechanisms.
• Implement monitoring for anomalous AI behavior.
Secure Development & DevSecOps
• Integrate AI security checks into CI/CD pipelines.
• Perform security reviews of ML code and AI-related infrastructure.
• Secure model registries and artifact storage.
• Collaborate with other engineers and platform teams to enforce security standards.
Data Protection & Compliance
• Ensure AI systems comply with: GDPR and data privacy regulations, financial industry regulatory requirements, implement controls for sensitive data used in training and inference, perform AI risk assessments aligned with internal risk methodology.
Governance & Policy
• Contribute to AI security standards and internal policies.
• Define AI risk classification and control frameworks.
• Support security reviews for new AI initiatives / tools.
Required Qualifications::
• 3–5+ years in cybersecurity engineering or application security.
• Hands-on experience with ML/AI systems (LLMs, NLP models, or similar).
• Strong understanding of: OWASP Top 10, Secure SDLC, Cloud security (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Experience with: Python, API security, Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Knowledge of AI-specific security risks and mitigations.
• Experience conducting threat modeling and risk assessments.
Preferred Qualifications::
• Experience securing LLM-based applications (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, etc.).
• Familiarity with: RAG architectures, Vector databases, ML pipelines (MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker).
• Experience in fintech or regulated environments.
• Knowledge of AI governance frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001).
• Experience with AI red teaming.
Soft Skills::
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to translate technical risk into business impact.
• Able to explain AI security risks and mitigations to non-security teams.
• Cross-functional collaboration with ML, data, and product teams.
• Clear documentation and communication skills.
