Secure the next generation of AI applications, agents, and platforms.

We're looking for a Senior AI Security Engineer to help build secure AI products at scale. You'll work alongside AI engineers, developers, and platform teams to embed security into AI applications, LLM-powered features, APIs, agentic workflows, and cloud platforms.

What You'll Do

- Design and implement security controls for AI applications, agents, and LLM-powered products.
- Perform threat modelling for AI systems, including prompt injection, data leakage, tool misuse, jailbreaks, and excessive agent permissions.
- Secure RAG platforms, enterprise knowledge systems, and AI data flows.
- Define controls for authentication, authorisation, tenant isolation, secrets management, and API security.
- Build reusable security guardrails, templates, policy-as-code controls, and developer tooling.
- Partner with engineering teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes environments, and release processes.
- Lead vulnerability management across AI applications, APIs, containers, model-serving platforms,



and supporting infrastructure.

What We're Looking For
- 5+ years in Security Engineering, Application Security, Cloud Security, or Platform Security.
- Experience securing AI applications, AI agents, LLMs, RAG systems, or similar AI platforms.
- Robust understanding of application security, API security, threat modelling, and secure software development.
- Knowledge of AI security risks including prompt injection, model abuse, insecure tool usage, and data leakage.
- Experience with Kubernetes, container security, CI/CD security, and software supply-chain security.
- Strong knowledge of OAuth, OIDC, RBAC, ABAC, secrets management, and identity security.
- Programming experience in Python, Go, or similar languages.

Nice to Have
- Experience with enterprise AI platforms, vector databases, and model-serving environments.
- Knowledge of NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or OWASP frameworks.
- Experience building security automation and developer enablement tooling.
