Senior Enterprise AI Security Engineer

WHAT IS BOX?

Box (NYSE:BOX) is the leader in Intelligent Content Management. Our platform enables organizations to fuel collaboration, manage the entire content lifecycle, secure critical content, and transform business workflows with enterprise AI. We help companies thrive in the new AI-first era of business. Founded in 2005, Box simplifies work for leading global organizations, including JLL, Morgan Stanley, and Nationwide. Box is headquartered in Redwood City, CA, with offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

By joining Box, you will have the unique opportunity to continue driving our platform forward. Content powers how we work. It’s the billions of files and information flowing across teams, departments, and key business processes every single day: contracts, invoices, employee records, financials, product specs, marketing assets, and more. Our mission is to bring intelligence to the world of content management and empower our customers to completely transform workflows across their organizations.

With the combination of AI and enterprise content, the opportunity has never been greater to transform how the world works together and at Box you will be on the front lines of this massive shift.

WHY BOX NEEDS YOU Box has a world class security organization responsible for protecting our customer and employee data around the globe. We are looking for a Senior Enterprise AI Security Engineer to join our Enterprise Security team and own how Box adopts AI internally — safely, quickly, and s role pairs enterprise security architecture with hands-on engineering. You will assess the AI tools and agent workflows Boxers want to use, then convert each assessment into a control that holds for everyone who adopts something similar later.

You do not need to have trained a model, but you do need working intuition for the failure modes: an agent handed more authority than its task requires, untrusted text arriving as instructions, or company data leaving quietly inside an API call.

You will partner closely with IT, Infrastructure, Incident Response, Legal, Privacy, and the business functions piloting AI, shaping the technical direction of Box's secure AI adoption program.

WHAT YOU'LL DO Core Mission Design, build, deploy, and maintain comprehensive security systems that allow Box's workforce use AI tools and agents productively without losing visibility, identity boundaries, or control of company data.

Build the shared enforcement layer — policy engines, brokers, approval registries, internal libraries — that catches risky behavior in flight: injected instructions, attempts to talk around a restriction, tools used outside their intended purpose, sensitive data heading somewhere it should not, and agents behaving nothing like they did last week
