AI Security Architect

AI Security Architect

AI systems face threats that traditional security architecture wasn't built for: adversarial manipulation, model theft, data poisoning, prompt injection, and supply-chain risk across the ML pipeline. The AI Security Architect leads the design and implementation of security frameworks that protect our AI systems — building resilience against these threats and earning our customers' trust.

How You'll Find Success

• Strategic Visionary:
  You hold a holistic view of AI/ML threat models, proactively identifying and mitigating emerging risks. You guide security architecture strategy so it aligns with the organization's risk posture and business goals.
• Technical Innovator:
  Your drive for continuous improvement pushes you to explore and implement cutting-edge AI security practices — adversarial robustness testing, model hardening, secure MLOps — keeping our AI systems resilient against evolving threats.
• Collaborative Leader:
  You build partnerships across security, engineering, and data science, promoting best practices in AI security. Your ability to foster collaboration creates an informed, cohesive environment dedicated to protecting our systems.
• Resilient and Adaptive:
  You thrive in a fast-paced environment, managing complex projects while guiding cross-functional teams through shifts in the threat landscape or technology. Your problem-solving skills are essential to navigating the complexities of AI security governance.

How You'll Grow

• Shape Industry Standards:
  Participate in industry conferences, thought leadership forums, and professional organizations to influence the future of AI security practices.
• Executive Presence:
  Increase your visibility and involvement in executive-level discussions, refining how you communicate strategic security insights.
• Expand Your Leadership Toolkit:
  As a thought leader in AI security architecture, mentor and coach emerging talent, growing the security expertise across the organization.
• Complex Problem-Solving:
  Tackle significant AI security challenges that sharpen your analytical, critical thinking, and strategic planning abilities.

Things You'll Do

• Drive Innovation in AI Security:
  Lead research, evaluation, and implementation of next-generation security technologies and methodologies — adversarial defense, model security, secure MLOps pipelines — that support our AI solutions.
• Conduct Security Reviews:
  Perform security reviews of AI products and proposed designs, including architectures built on Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agentic AI systems, identifying risks such as tool-use abuse, unauthorized action-taking, and insecure agent-to-agent or agent to-tool communication.
• Develop Standards & Reference Architectures:
  Author AI-related technical security standards, guardrails, and reference architectures that give product and engineering teams a secure, repeatable blueprint for building and deploying AI systems.
• Shape Security Strategy:
  Develop a comprehensive AI security strategy that aligns with the organization's risk profile and business objectives.
• Manage Complex Projects:
  Oversee execution of large-scale AI security initiatives, ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery while proactively addressing risks and fostering adaptability within teams.
• Foster a Culture of Excellence:
  Create an environment that promotes knowledge sharing, collaboration, and continuous learning. Mentor colleagues to build a high-performing team committed to our security objectives.
