This role combines deep security engineering expertise with practical experience building or protecting machine learning and generative AI workloads. You will partner with data science, platform, product, and security teams to design secure architectures for AI services, conduct threat modeling for AI/ML use cases, detect and respond to AI-driven and AI-targeting attacks, and help define secure development and governance practices for AI across the organization. Essential Functions * Design and implement security controls for AI/ML platforms, including model training environments, inference services, data pipelines, and feature stores. * Conduct threat modeling for AI systems, including model theft, data poisoning, prompt injection, model inversion, and abuse/misuse scenarios. * Build and maintain security tooling and automation to detect and prevent AI specific attacks (e.g., adversarial inputs, prompt injection chains, anomalous usage patterns). * Collaborate with data scientists and ML engineers to integrate security into the AI development lifecycle (secure coding, model validation, testing and red teaming for AI behaviors). * Evaluate and harden integrations with third party AI providers (LLM APIs, vector databases, orchestration frameworks, agents), including authentication, authorization, data handling, and logging. * Collaborate with cloud/platform teams to ensure AI infrastructure (Kubernetes, GPU clusters, model registries, CI/CD) follows security best practices and compliance requirements. * Define and implement monitoring for AI systems, including abuse detection, drift and anomaly alerts, model access patterns, and security relevant telemetry. * Partner with incident response teams on investigations involving AI systems, including analyzing logs, traffic, model behavior, and potential data/model compromise. * Contribute to policies, standards, and guardrails for responsible and secure use of AI internally (e.g., data classification rules for training inputs and prompts, allowed use cases, evaluation requirements). * Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers on AI security concepts, threats, and secure design patterns. * Stay current on emerging AI threats, vulnerabilities, frameworks, and regulatory trends, and translate them into practical recommendations for the organization. * Create, edit and adhere to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), process improvements, and standardization of templates. * Performs ad-hoc and cross-functional duties and/or projects as assigned to support business needs and provide developmental opportunities. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
