Your expertise will be used to evaluate, design, and implement security controls that protect AI systems end-to-end, including data, models, prompts, pipelines, infrastructure, integrations, and user experiences.You'll work closely with clients to understand their AI goals and risk appetite, then assess current maturity across AI governance, Responsible AI, security-by-design, and MLOps/LLMOps controls. You'll translate that into actionable guidance, control designs, and measurable roadmaps that teams can implement. This is not a "powerpoint-only" role. You will contribute hands-on by helping teams implement guardrails such as secure AI reference architectures, threat modeling and AI red teaming approaches, model and prompt security patterns, secure RAG designs, identity and secrets controls for AI services, monitoring and detection for AI misuse, and incident response playbooks tailored to AI-specific attack paths.You will also help customers use AI to improve security in a controlled and auditable way. This may include introducing AI-assisted SOC workflows for triage and enrichment, automating parts of risk assessment and reporting, accelerating detection engineering, and defining governance for AI usage in security to ensure it is safe, transparent, and aligned with compliance needs.Because this space evolves quickly, you'll stay current on security threats, defensive techniques, and relevant standards.Who You AreYou're good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important - you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development.
