Senior Staff Security Engineer, AI Security
We are seeking a Senior Staff Security Engineer, AI Security, to help define and advance security strategy for artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. This role will lead the design of secure-by-default architectures, protections, and engineering practices across the AI lifecycle, from data ingestion and model development through deployment, monitoring, and retirement. You will work closely with research, product, infrastructure, privacy, legal, and incident response teams to identify emerging threats and translate them into practical controls that enable responsible innovation.
You will conduct threat modelling and security reviews for AI platforms, model-serving infrastructure, agents, APIs, and supporting services; develop mitigations for risks such as prompt injection, data poisoning, model extraction, insecure tool use, supply-chain compromise, and sensitive information disclosure; and establish standards for authentication, authorisation, isolation, secrets management, logging, abuse prevention, and resilience. Responsibilities will also include designing evaluation and red-team programmes, improving detection and response capabilities, investigating complex security incidents, contributing to security architecture reviews, and mentoring engineers. You will influence technical roadmaps, communicate risk to senior stakeholders, and represent AI security principles across the wider engineering organisation.
The successful candidate will bring significant experience in security engineering, application security, cloud infrastructure, platform security, or a related discipline, along with a strong understanding of machine learning systems and their threat landscape. Experience securing generative AI applications, large language models, agentic workflows, model pipelines, or high-scale distributed systems is highly desirable. You should be comfortable writing production-quality code and automation, analysing complex systems, and turning ambiguous problems into clear, measurable programmes of work. Strong knowledge of security principles, threat modelling methodologies, vulnerability management, and incident response is expected. Excellent written and verbal communication, sound judgement, and the ability to influence without direct authority are essential. A degree in computer science, cybersecurity, or a comparable technical field—or equivalent practical experience—is preferred.
