AI Security Engineering Lead
We are seeking an AI Security Engineering Lead to define and deliver security strategies for artificial intelligence and machine learning systems across their full lifecycle. In this role, you will lead the design of secure AI architectures, establish engineering standards, and help ensure that models, data, platforms, and applications are resilient against misuse, compromise, and emerging threats. You will work closely with software engineering, data science, platform, privacy, risk, and governance teams to embed security into research, development, deployment, and operation.
Your responsibilities will include identifying and assessing threats to AI systems, including prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, adversarial attacks, insecure integrations, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and unintended information disclosure. You will develop security controls, testing methodologies, monitoring capabilities, and incident response processes tailored to AI workloads. You will also guide secure model development practices, review technical designs, support red-team and adversarial testing, and translate complex risks into clear recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders. As a technical leader, you will mentor engineers, influence architectural decisions, contribute to security policies, and help shape a pragmatic programme for managing AI risk at scale.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in security engineering, application security, cloud security, or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of machine learning systems and modern AI platforms. You should be comfortable programming in one or more languages such as Python, Go, or Java, and have experience with threat modelling, security automation, vulnerability management, and secure software development practices. Familiarity with large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, model evaluation, AI governance, or adversarial machine learning is highly desirable. Strong communication, leadership, analytical, and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to operate effectively in a rapidly evolving environment and balance robust protection with practical delivery.
