Data & AI Security Engineer (6 Months FTC)
We are seeking a Data & AI Security Engineer for a six-month fixed-term contract to help strengthen the security of data platforms, artificial intelligence solutions and analytics environments. This role will work across engineering, data, infrastructure and risk teams to identify security requirements, assess emerging threats and embed practical controls throughout the design, development and operation of data and AI services.
You will be responsible for defining and implementing security patterns for data ingestion, storage, processing and sharing, with a particular focus on cloud-based platforms and machine learning workloads. Key duties will include conducting threat modelling and risk assessments, reviewing architectures and code, supporting secure configuration and identity management, and developing controls for data classification, encryption, access management, secrets handling and monitoring. You will also assess AI-specific risks such as prompt injection, model misuse, data leakage, insecure model supply chains and adversarial manipulation. The role will contribute to security testing, vulnerability remediation, incident response, audit activity and the creation of clear technical standards and guidance.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in data security, cloud security, application security or a closely related engineering discipline, together with an understanding of modern data and AI technologies. Experience with platforms such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, data lakes and warehouses, APIs, containers, CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code would be valuable. You should be confident working with security frameworks and principles, including least privilege, secure-by-design development, privacy protection and risk-based decision-making. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will need to explain complex risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and influence teams to adopt effective solutions. Relevant certifications or experience in machine learning security, data protection or security engineering would be advantageous.
