This role offers the exciting opportunity to contribute to our growing AI security practice.

Roles and Responsibilities

AI Security Architecture & Assessment: Advise on and assess the security posture of AI/ML systems, including LLMs, GenAI pipelines, and model serving infrastructure — identifying vulnerabilities, attack surfaces, and gaps against industry frameworks (e.g., OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS).

Threat Modeling for AI Systems: Lead threat modeling exercises specific to AI workloads, covering adversarial inputs, prompt injection, model inversion, data poisoning, and supply chain risks across SaaS, self-hosted, and local AI deployments.

Secure AI Integration Guidance: Advise internal teams on securely integrating SaaS AI services and APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock) into enterprise applications, including safe handling of credentials, outputs, and user data.

Data Security & Privacy Controls: Evaluate and recommend controls for data ingestion pipelines, RAG architectures, and vector databases to prevent unauthorized data exposure, leakage through model outputs, or non-compliant data processing.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a trusted security advisor bridging business stakeholders, AI/ML engineers, IT operations, and information security teams on all matters related to AI risk and security.

Stay Current on AI Threat Landscape: Continuously track emerging AI security research, adversarial techniques, regulatory developments, and vendor security advisories to keep client guidance relevant and proactive.

Security Documentation & Standards: Produce and maintain security architecture documentation, risk assessments, control frameworks, and guidelines tailored to the organization's AI environment.

Strategic AI Security Roadmap: Contribute to the development of a long-term AI security strategy, including prioritized remediation roadmaps, capability maturity assessments, and investment recommendations.

Security Awareness & Education: Develop and deliver training and awareness content for technical and non-technical stakeholders on AI-specific risks, responsible AI usage, and secure development practices for AI-powered applications.
