AI Security Engineer
We are seeking an AI Security Engineer to help protect artificial intelligence systems, data, and infrastructure throughout their development and operational lifecycle. In this role, you will assess risks across machine learning platforms, generative AI applications, APIs, cloud environments, and supporting services. You will work closely with software engineers, data scientists, platform teams, and security specialists to design secure solutions and embed security controls into the AI development process.
Your responsibilities will include conducting threat modelling, security reviews, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing of AI systems and related applications. You will investigate risks such as prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, insecure model supply chains, adversarial attacks, sensitive data leakage, excessive agency, and unauthorised access. You will develop and maintain security standards, technical guardrails, monitoring and detection capabilities, incident response procedures, and guidance for the responsible use of AI. You will also support security automation, evaluate third-party models and tools, contribute to governance and compliance activities, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in cybersecurity, application security, cloud security, machine learning security, or a related discipline, along with a strong understanding of secure software development and modern threat detection practices. Experience with large language models, machine learning pipelines, model evaluation, AI red teaming, identity and access management, containerisation, and cloud platforms is highly desirable. You should be comfortable scripting in languages such as Python, analysing complex systems, and translating emerging threats into practical controls. Strong communication, sound judgement, curiosity, and the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams are essential. Relevant security or cloud certifications and knowledge of recognised AI security frameworks would be advantageous.
