AI Security Engineering Lead
We are seeking an AI Security Engineering Lead to define and deliver security strategies for artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. This is a senior technical leadership role focused on protecting models, data, applications and infrastructure throughout the AI development and deployment lifecycle. You will work closely with engineering, data science, platform, risk and compliance teams to embed secure-by-design principles into products and internal capabilities.
You will lead the assessment of AI security risks, including prompt injection, model manipulation, data poisoning, sensitive information leakage, insecure integrations, adversarial attacks and misuse of generative AI. You will establish security standards, reference architectures, threat models and technical controls, while designing practical approaches for model governance, access management, data protection, monitoring, testing and incident response. The role will also involve building or guiding security tooling, conducting architecture and code reviews, overseeing penetration testing and red-team exercises, and translating emerging research into actionable safeguards. You will provide technical direction to engineers and security specialists, support capability development and promote consistent engineering practices across teams.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in application, cloud, product or cybersecurity engineering, together with a strong understanding of machine learning systems and modern AI technologies. You should be comfortable assessing complex systems, communicating risk to both technical and non-technical audiences, and influencing decisions across a broad stakeholder group. Experience with Python or similar programming languages, cloud platforms, infrastructure as code, software supply-chain security, security automation and threat modelling is highly desirable. Knowledge of AI security frameworks, model evaluation, adversarial machine learning, privacy engineering or responsible AI principles would be advantageous. We are looking for a collaborative, pragmatic leader who can balance innovation with robust security controls and help establish a mature, scalable approach to AI security.
