- Threat model AI systems and AI features in products, including abuse cases and misuse scenarios
- Establish secure-by-design patterns for model endpoints, prompts, RAG pipelines, and agent workflows
- Validate controls for model access, rate limiting, tenant isolation, and secrets management
Protect data used by AI
- Classify and control training data, fine-tuning data, prompts, and retrieved context
- Implement guardrails for sensitive data exposure, including PII and PCI data
- Define retention, deletion, and lineage requirements for AI datasets and outputs
- Partner with Privacy and Legal on data handling, regulatory expectations, and third-party data use
Secure AI infrastructure and supply chain
- Harden AI platforms, GPU and container workloads, model registries, and artifact stores
- Assess risks in third-party models, libraries, embeddings, and model hosting services
- Define integrity controls for model artifacts, evaluation sets, and pipeline automation
- Build CI and CD checks for AI assets, including scanning, signing, and policy enforcement
Detection, monitoring, and response for AI threats
- Build logging standards for model requests, responses, tool calls, and retrieval events
- Create detections for prompt injection, data exfiltration attempts, model extraction signals, and anomalous usage
- Develop incident response playbooks for AI events, including containment and rollback plans
- Run security testing for AI features, including red teaming and structured adversarial testing
Governance and program delivery
- Create practical AI security standards, patterns, and reference architectures
- Define KPIs such as reduction in sensitive output leakage, time to detect misuse, and policy coverage
- Lead risk reviews for new AI features and vendor assessments for AI services
- Train engineering and data science teams on secure AI patterns and common attack paths
Tools and Technologies You Might Use
- Cloud: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform
- Containers: Kubernetes, Docker
- DevSecOps: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Terraform
- Security: SIEM, EDR, WAF, API gateways, secrets managers
- AI stack: model gateways, vector databases, model registries, ML pipelines
Examples of Work and Technical Scope
- Secure an LLM gateway with authentication, authorization, quotas, content filtering, and audit logging
- Add prompt injection defenses for an agent that uses tools like web search and internal APIs
- Implement retrieval filtering, context redaction, and output scanning for a RAG application
- Build model artifact signing and verification into the release pipeline
- Create detections in SIEM for abnormal model usage, including model scraping patterns
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, or related highly technical field
- 5+ years in security engineering, application security, cloud security, or detection engineering
- Experience securing LLM-based applications, RAG systems, or agentic workflows
- Familiarity with adversarial ML concepts, such as prompt injection, model inversion, and model extraction
- Experience with one or more cloud platforms, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform
- Experience with Kubernetes and container security
- Hands-on experience with at least one programming language, Python preferred
- Strong understanding of AI, LLMs, API security, identity, secrets management, and cloud controls
- Experience building security controls into CI and CD pipelines
