## Description

Are you looking for an opportunity to use your knowledge and technical skills to help organizations adopt artifi cia l intelligence (AI) securely and responsibly. As a Secure AI Engineer, you'll combine your skills in AI engineering, cybersecurity, and offensive security to assess, harden, and improve AI-enabled systems. You'll have the chance to build your skills and solve real-world challenges in a fast-paced, agile environment. We are looking for someone like you to work closely with clients to design secure AI architectures, evaluate AI system resilience, identify vulnerabilities, and implement mitigations that enable safe deployment of generative AI and autonomous AI capabilities.

As a Secure AI Engineer on our team, you'll advise clients on the secure design, deployment, and governance of AI systems and generative AI applications. You'll conduct AI red team assessments against large language models ( LLMs ) , retrieval-augmented generation ( RAG ) systems, AI agents, and multi-agent workflows. You will identify and demonstrate AI-specific attack vectors, including prompt injection, jailbreaks, indirect prompt injection, data poisoning, model inversion, extraction, and other adversarial techniques. You will develop recommendations and technical mitigations to improve AI system security, resilience, and t rus tworthiness. You will build, test, and evaluate agentic AI systems using modern orchestration frameworks and assess their security posture, design security testing met hodologies, automation, and tooling for AI applications throughout the development lifecycle, and adapt and extend open-source AI frameworks, security tools, and evaluation platforms to meet
client-specific requirements. You'll stay current with emerging AI threats, vulnerabilities, research, and industry best practices in this fast-paced world of AI.
