Job Description
Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Security AI Engineer to strengthen our cybersecurity posture across cloud, on-premises, and AI-enabled systems. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical security expertise with a forward-looking understanding of AI risks, governance, and secure deployment practices.

What You Will Do

Design, implement, and maintain security controls across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Evaluate and secure AI/ML systems, including LLMs, model pipelines, and data flows.
