Please review the following job description:

* This role is 5 days a week in the Charlotte Office
* The Senior AI Security Engineer helps design, implement, test, and operate the controls that keep enterprise AI systems safe, governed, and production-ready.

This role focuses on the security engineering foundations required for AI-enabled applications, agents, prompt-driven workflows, and tool-integrated automations operating in a regulated enterprise environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role within the Forge AI Security & Governance model.

The engineer supports guardrail implementation, prompt-injection defense, output filtering, monitoring, secure tool-use boundaries, logging, detection content, and deployment-readiness controls for AI-enabled systems.

The work spans design, testing, automation, detection engineering, and operational support across the AI delivery lifecycle.

Daily work includes implementing security controls for AI and agentic systems, validating configurations, supporting adversarial test preparation, building monitoring logic, partnering with engineering to harden prompt and tool behaviors, documenting controls, and ensuring AI solutions meet enterprise safety, traceability, and governance requirements before and after deployment.

* For this opportunity, Truist will not sponsor an applicant for work visa status or employment authorization, nor will we offer any immigration-related support for this position (including, but not limited to H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 STEM OPT, F-1 CPT, J-1, TN-1 or TN-2, E-3, O-1, or future sponsorship for U.S. lawful permanent residence status.)
* ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time.

* Implement and maintain security controls for AI-enabled applications, agents, prompts, and workflow automations, including input validation, output filtering, access controls, and governed tool-use restrictions.

* Support development and operationalization of AI guardrails that reduce risk from prompt injection, unsafe responses, unauthorized tool execution, data leakage, and insecure workflow behavior.

* Assist with adversarial and misuse-oriented testing activities by preparing scenarios, validating defenses, capturing findings, and supporting remediation with engineering teams.

* Build and maintain monitoring and alerting logic for AI or agentic systems, including suspicious prompt patterns, abnormal workflow behavior, anomalous tool invocation, or policy-violating output patterns.

* Contribute to runtime safety patterns such as content filters, role/permission boundaries, logging, evidence capture, and traceability controls required for secure deployment and audit readiness.

* Partner with product and engineering teams to embed AI security expectations into design reviews, acceptance criteria, test plans, and deployment gates from the beginning of the delivery cycle.

* Validate that AI-enabled solutions meet required security and governance standards before release, including deployment gate criteria, control validation, and documentation completeness.

* Support incident investigation and remediation for AI-related control failures, suspicious behavior, or production observations that indicate safety or security degradation.

* Help maintain control documentation, implementation notes, runbooks,…
