ML Security Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a ML Security Engineer based in the United States.

This role focuses on securing the next generation of AI-powered systems, with an emphasis on large language models, machine learning pipelines, and intelligent applications operating at scale.

You will design and implement security controls that protect AI systems from emerging threats such as prompt injection, model abuse, and data exfiltration.

The position sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and machine learning, requiring both strong security engineering fundamentals and practical understanding of modern AI architectures.

You will help define how AI systems are hardened, monitored, and governed across development and production environments.

A key part of the role involves building threat models, guardrails, and detection systems tailored specifically for AI workloads.

You will collaborate with engineering, privacy, and compliance teams to ensure secure, responsible deployment of AI capabilities.

This is a highly technical and forward-looking role in a fast-evolving environment where security directly enables safe AI innovation.

Accountabilities

• Design and implement security controls tailored to LLMs, AI applications, and machine learning infrastructure.
• Develop threat models addressing risks such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, model abuse, and data leakage.
• Build and deploy guardrails, filtering mechanisms, and policy enforcement layers around AI model endpoints.
• Implement runtime monitoring, detection, and response systems for adversarial or malicious AI usage.
• Secure ML pipelines including training data integrity, provenance tracking, and access control enforcement.
• Design protections for sensitive data handling, retention policies, and redaction in AI workflows.
• Lead AI-focused red teaming exercises and drive remediation of identified vulnerabilities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with privacy, legal, and regulatory requirements.
• Develop logging, observability, and incident response strategies for AI-specific security events.
