Applied AI Security Engineer
We are seeking an Applied AI Security Engineer to help design, evaluate, and secure artificial intelligence systems across their full lifecycle. In this role, you will work at the intersection of machine learning, application security, and threat intelligence to identify risks and build practical safeguards for AI-enabled products and services. You will assess models, data pipelines, APIs, agents, and supporting infrastructure for vulnerabilities including prompt injection, data poisoning, model extraction, insecure tool use, privacy leakage, and adversarial manipulation.
Your responsibilities will include developing threat models and security requirements for AI systems; creating automated testing and red-team methodologies; investigating emerging attack techniques; and translating findings into engineering improvements. You will collaborate closely with software engineers, data scientists, platform teams, and governance specialists to implement controls such as secure model deployment, access management, input and output validation, monitoring, abuse detection, data protection, and incident response. You will also contribute to security standards, technical documentation, risk assessments, and clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in application security, machine learning security, cloud security, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern AI systems and their operational risks. Experience with Python and security testing tools is expected, along with familiarity with machine learning frameworks, APIs, containerised workloads, and cloud platforms. Knowledge of adversarial machine learning, large language model security, secure software development, privacy engineering, or penetration testing would be highly valuable. You should be analytical, curious, and comfortable working in a fast-changing environment where requirements are evolving. Strong written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement, and the ability to explain complex security issues clearly are essential.
