• Model Context Protocol (MCP) Security: Establish centralized security standards for Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations and oversee secure, resilient MCP hosting infrastructure supporting autonomous AI agents.

• AI Red Teaming and Adversarial Testing: Conduct adversarial security assessments and AI red teaming exercises across machine learning systems to identify vulnerabilities related to model manipulation, data extraction, and unauthorized access.

• Threat Modeling and Architecture Reviews: Lead threat modeling initiatives and security architecture assessments for emerging AI capabilities, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, autonomous workflows, and AI-powered applications.

• Third-Party AI Security Assessments: Evaluate the security posture, privacy controls, data handling practices, and retention policies of third-party foundation models, AI platforms, and vector databases.

• AI Risk Assessment and Compliance: Serve as a technical advisor for AI tooling evaluations and data classification initiatives. Develop standardized security assessment frameworks to ensure consistent risk management and compliance.

• AI Security Governance: Establish and scale AI security governance frameworks, technical policies, and organizational standards to promote secure and responsible AI engineering practices.

• Security Enablement: Develop and communicate practical AI security guidelines, helping engineering teams, business stakeholders, and leadership safely adopt and leverage AI technologies.

• LLM Security and Runtime Protection: Architect, deploy, and automate real-time security controls for LLM inputs and outputs, including prompt injection prevention, jailbreak detection, and AI response validation.

Required Qualifications and Skills

• 7+ years of experience in information security, cybersecurity, or security engineering, including at least 2+ years focused on AI/ML security or Large Language Model (LLM) application security.

• Strong understanding of AI/ML technologies, including:

• Transformer architectures

• Large Language Models (LLMs)

• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

• Prompt Engineering

• Agentic AI and autonomous AI workflows

• OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications

• Deep technical expertise in cloud security, particularly AWS and GCP, including IAM, containerization, Kubernetes, and DevSecOps methodologies.

• Hands-on experience with AI/ML security architectures, production AI deployments, and securing the end-to-end AI development lifecycle.

• Strong knowledge of AI-specific security threats, including:

• Prompt Injection

• Jailbreak Attacks

• Model Poisoning

• Model Manipulation

• Sensitive Data Exposure and Data Extraction

• Experience implementing threat detection, security architecture controls, and automated security mechanisms for AI/ML environments.

• Proficiency in Python or Go, with experience developing production-grade integrations, security automation tools, and security pipelines.

• Experience assessing third-party AI platforms, foundation models, and AI technology supply chains.

• Working knowledge of AI governance frameworks, emerging regulatory requirements, data privacy, and Responsible AI principles.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to proactively identify and address security gaps across complex AI/ML workflows.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate emerging AI security risks into actionable technical roadmaps and business impact for executive leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) frameworks and autonomous multi-agent AI systems.

• Strong understanding of AI-specific security and regulatory requirements, including:

• Data residency and data localization requirements.

• Data loss prevention and content protection controls for AI-generated outputs.

• Permission boundaries and access restrictions for autonomous AI agents.

• External OAuth authorization and access-scoping mechanisms.

• Experience developing and implementing enterprise AI governance frameworks and AI enablement programs.

• Background in designing and implementing AI platform security architectures.

• Experience establishing security standards and governance models for enterprise-wide AI adoption.
