  • Ensure PII, CUI, prompts, retrieval context, embeddings, model outputs, logs, backups, and evaluation data are protected through approved controls.
  • Support AI Incident Response Plan development and maintenance, including escalation paths, evidence preservation, reporting templates, severity classification, containment procedures, and post-incident review.
  • Coordinate security incident investigation, containment, mitigation, recovery, and reporting for suspected or confirmed security events.
  • Support supply-chain security, Software Bill of Materials generation, dependency scanning, secure-development attestations, vulnerability remediation, and third-party risk management.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate security into development, testing, deployment, and production operations.

  • Experience securing cloud applications, APIs, data platforms, CI/CD pipelines, identity services, and containerized or cloud-native systems.
  • Experience with vulnerability management, security logging and monitoring, incident response, security testing, and security documentation.
  • Working knowledge of AI/ML security threats, including prompt injection, jailbreaking, model compromise, model extraction, data poisoning, RAG poisoning, retrieval manipulation, and AI supply-chain risks.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to coordinate with engineering, privacy, governance, security, program-management, and Government stakeholders.
