About The Position

The Security Engineer (Application & AI Security) will serve as the technical implementation bridge between our security policy team and development operations. The Security Engineer will be embedded with development teams, writing code, configuring systems, and directly implementing security controls across applications, databases, and AI systems during a major Agentic AI platform transformation.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in hands-on application security, DevSecOps, or security engineering roles.
  • Proven experience building and configuring secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
  • Deep proficiency with cloud security in AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
  • Strong implementation experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and container security (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell) for security tooling.
  • Versatility across web/API security, data pipeline security, microservices, and database security.
  • Understanding of security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS).
  • Hands-on experience deploying and configuring security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA).
  • Excellent communication skills—ability to translate security requirements into working technical implementations.
  • Experience working embedded within cross-functional development teams.
  • Proven track record of hands-on problem-solving in fast-paced development environments.
  • Regular and predictable attendance.

Nice To Haves

  • Hands-on experience with AI/ML security, model security, and data governance.
  • Technical knowledge of LLM security, prompt injection prevention, and AI agent safety.
  • Security certifications (CISSP, CEH, OSCP, CSSLP, or cloud security certifications).
  • Strong coding background in Python, Go, or similar languages.
  • Background in software development or engineering transitioning to security.
  • Direct experience implementing secrets management solutions (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager).
  • Practical experience with zero trust architecture implementation.
  • Familiarity with data security, ETL processes, and data warehouse security.
  • Experience with microservices architectures and distributed systems security.

Responsibilities

  • Build and deploy security controls across web applications, data pipelines, and AI systems.
  • Write automation scripts, directly remediate vulnerabilities in code and infrastructure, and conduct hands-on penetration testing and security assessments.
  • Technically implement security frameworks for Agentic AI systems, build guardrails for AI agents, configure model security controls, and integrate AI-specific security tooling into development workflows.
  • Configure security controls in CI/CD pipelines, implement secrets management and vulnerability scanning, harden cloud infrastructure deployments, and write infrastructure-as-code with built-in security and compliance.
  • Partner with advisory security policy team to translate requirements into working solutions.
  • Conduct hands-on security training, code reviews, and provide practical implementation guidance during architectural discussions.
