Senior AI Security Engineer - Data & AI Platform

We are seeking a Senior AI Security Engineer to join the AI Foundation team and secure Enterprise AI and Scientific AI workloads across Azure and GCP platforms. This is an implementation-focused role where you will translate AI Security Framework controls into working platform configurations, engineering security as code through Terraform, GitOps CI/CD security gates, and policy-as-code that continuously attests to compliance. You will collaborate closely with Senior AI Security auditors and AI Engineers in a high-talent-density domain, ensuring implementations consistently pass governance requirements.

Responsibilities

• Translate AI Security control descriptions into working platform configurations and defensible implementations
• Engineer security controls as code using Terraform, GitOps CI/CD pipelines, and policy-as-code frameworks
• Produce machine-verifiable evidence that proves adherence to control descriptions
• Implement Kubernetes GPU node pool segmentation, VNet/VPC isolation, and private endpoints across Azure and GCP
• Configure RBAC/ABAC least-privilege access, managed/workload identity, and risk-based access controls
• Build a hardened API integration layer and centralized gateway with tool-level access controls
• Deploy LLM guardrails for prompt/response injection, content filtering, kill-switches, and inference rate limits
• Set up observability pipelines for anomaly and drift detection, restricted-access logs, and end-to-end traceability
• Maintain training-data and model isolation to support robustness and prevent model theft
• Collaborate with Senior AI Security auditors and AI Engineers to ensure implementations pass governance consistently
• Support classification and compliance efforts aligned with ISO 27001, EU AI Act, and GDPR requirements

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in SDLC foundations and cloud platform engineering with an AI/ML focus
• Security-first mindset with the ability to translate control intent into defensible implementations alongside senior specialists
• Hands-on experience with Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes (AKS/GKE) including GPU node pools and VNet/VPC segmentation
• Expertise in Terraform, GitOps workflows, and policy-as-code within CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions)
• Knowledge of IAM concepts including RBAC/ABAC least-privilege, managed/workload identity, and geo-aware risk-based access controls
• Familiarity with hardened API integration layers, centralized MCP gateways, and LLM guardrails for prompt/response injection and content filtering
• Proficiency in observability tools such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Grafana for anomaly and drift detection
• Understanding of data classification, training-data/model isolation, and model-theft prevention practices
• Background in compliance frameworks including ISO 27001, EU AI Act, and GDPR
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher
