Veeam VDC Security Engineering builds and operates the security platform for a multi-cloud (Azure and AWS) SaaS serving regulated industries. This role sits in Platform Security and helps drive AI/LLM security as a discipline. You will help shape how VDC uses large language models safely (defensively, at scale) and how we use them offensively to find and fix real security defects faster than traditional programs allow.

• Design and ship the data-handling controls (code, filters, and infrastructure guardrails) for VDC's internal AI tooling and the AI features in our product. Redact sensitive data from prompts, model context, logs, and outputs before any of it reaches a third-party model provider
• Build and product ionize an AI-enhanced vulnerability reduction capability that plugs into CI/CD, surfaces real defects with a low false-positive rate, and either recommends or applies remediation without eroding developer trust
• Publish and evolve a self-serve secure-LLM-use pattern for other VDC engineering teams, including input filtering, output validation, provider-tier data classification, and threat-model shortcuts for teams adding AI features to their products
• Threat-model internal AI tools for prompt injection, indirect prompt attack surfaces, model exfiltration, and agent-tool boundary weaknesses. Partner with the red team on findings, then build the fixes and guardrails with tool owners
• Partner with Compliance to shape auditor-facing evidence for AI-assisted controls, including which evidence formats hold up when the collector was an LLM and where human review must gate disclosure
• Contribute the AI-security lens to adjacent Security Engineering programs where LLMs touch the surface area: vulnerability management maturity, supply chain risk reduction, code owners routing, and compliance evidence collection
• Set VDC's direction on emerging LLM security tools and internal AI-forward workflows: what to adopt, what to skip, and what to build in-house

• Azure OpenAI Service and other Azure AI Foundry components
• Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and multi-provider LLM APIs used across VDC internal tools
• Microsoft Presidio, custom redaction pipelines, or equivalent PII/secrets detection at the prompt boundary
• Cycode (SAST / SCA / Secrets) and Wiz for signal fusion into AI-driven remediation
• Git Hub Actions and Azure Dev Ops for CI/CD integration of security-review LLM tooling
• Python and Go for the AI security tooling stack; comfort reading Power Shell and Type Script for integration points
• Microsoft Sentinel and Log Analytics for the audit trail on AI-mediated security operations

• 10+ years across security and engineering, with recent focus on AI/ML systems in production (LLM deployments, model risk, or AI-driven security tooling)
• Hands-on experience shipping controls (Code, infra or data gaurdrails) that operate on LLM inputs and outputs (redaction, filtering, output validation, prompt-injection defense)
• Build and tune detection systems that catch PII and secrets (API keys, credentials, personal data) across large, messy datasets, knowing when a regex rule is good enough, when you need a trained classifier, and when only an LLM can catch it, and justifying that choice on cost, latency, and accuracy grounds
• Track record of taking AI/security work from concept to production, including designing for developer trust and false-positive management
• Strong cloud security fundamentals across Azure and AWS: RBAC, secret management, key…
