Lead AI Security Engineer

We are seeking a Lead AI Security Engineer to secure software across the full development lifecycle. This role embeds security into design, code, build, and release; operates application security tooling and pipelines; partners with engineering to drive remediation; and applies AI both to accelerate AppSec work and to secure AI- and LLM-powered applications.

Responsibilities

• Embed security into the full software development lifecycle and drive shift-left and secure-by-design practices across engineering teams.
• Perform and facilitate threat modeling, architecture security reviews, and design reviews for applications, services, and APIs.
• Conduct secure code reviews, both manual and AI-assisted, and advise developers on secure coding patterns and remediation.
• Implement, configure, tune, and operate application security tooling, including SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC scanning, integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Triage, validate, prioritize, and reduce false positives in security findings, and partner with development teams to track issues through remediation.
• Define, implement, and maintain security gates and policies in CI/CD pipelines that balance risk reduction with developer velocity.
• Secure the software supply chain, including dependency and open-source risk management, SBOM generation, artifact integrity and signing, and build-pipeline hardening.
• Support and coordinate application penetration testing and validate fixes for identified vulnerabilities.
• Drive secrets management, secure configuration, API security, container and image security, and microservice security practices.
• Establish and run a security champions program, and develop and deliver secure-coding training, guidelines, and reusable security patterns for developers.
• Define and maintain application security standards, baselines, and policy-as-code, and contribute to vulnerability management and risk-acceptance processes.
• Build, deploy, and maintain AI-assisted automations and agentic workflows that reduce manual effort across application security activities, including vulnerability triage, deduplication, prioritization, false-positive reduction, code review, remediation guidance, threat modeling, finding enrichment, root-cause analysis, remediation-PR drafting, compliance evidence collection, and security documentation automation.
• Build and integrate AI agents and LLM-backed automations into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, connecting models to scanners, code hosts, ticketing, and security tooling through function calling, REST, and webhooks.
• Develop, test, and maintain reusable prompts, structured-prompting patterns, and prompt templates for recurring AppSec tasks; tune them for accuracy, signal quality, and safe behavior.
• Implement retrieval over codebases, security standards, and remediation guidance, such as RAG, so AI assistants use current, authoritative internal context.
• Build evaluation, validation, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints into AI-assisted AppSec workflows, including output verification, guardrails, and approval gates.
• Implement security and privacy controls for AppSec AI usage, including least-privilege agent access, source-code and secrets handling, prompt-injection resistance, and auditability of AI-driven actions.
• Design, implement, and operate security controls for AI- and LLM-powered application features, including input and output validation, prompt-injection and jailbreak defenses, tool- and function-call authorization, rate limiting, and model and data access governance, aligned with the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.
• Define and enforce guardrails for secure AI adoption in product engineering, covering prompt security, model and tool access control, output handling, data protection, auditability, and human-in-the-loop processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on application security experience across the software development lifecycle.
• Strong understanding of common application vulnerability classes and mitigations, including the OWASP Top 10, and secure coding principles.
• Practical experience with SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and CI/CD integration.
• Working knowledge of at least one programming language—such as Python, Java, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Go—sufficient to read code and assess vulnerabilities.
• Experience with threat modeling and secure design review methodologies.
• Understanding of DevOps/DevSecOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and secure-by-design principles.
• Familiarity with cloud application security concepts in Azure, AWS, or GCP.
• Experience participating in several production projects or engineering teams.
• Ability to collaborate with developers, architects, QA engineers, DevOps, product, and security teams and influence without owning the codebase.
• Ability to follow, maintain, and improve defined security processes.
• Practical understanding of AI-assisted productivity and automation beyond basic chatbot usage, including AI agents, automation of repetitive security or engineering tasks, LLM integrations, prompt engineering, AI-assisted runbooks, scripts, queries, or documentation, and secure AI tool use.
• Good communication skills and the ability to explain security risks, technical decisions, and remediation plans to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience with Snyk, Checkmarx, Veracode, SonarQube, Semgrep, GitHub Advanced Security, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, or similar application security tools.
• Experience with software supply-chain security, including SBOM, SLSA, Sigstore, dependency controls, and artifact-integrity controls.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and policy-as-code security tools such as Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates, OPA, Checkov, or Trivy.
• Experience with container and Kubernetes security, including image scanning, registries, runtime protection, and network policies.
• Experience with API security, secrets management tools such as HashiCorp Vault or Azure Key Vault, and microservice security patterns.
• Understanding of ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Benchmarks, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, SOX, or another compliance or security framework.
• Experience integrating security findings with SIEM/SOAR, ticketing, and vulnerability-management workflows.
• Experience with Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Amazon Bedrock, Microsoft Copilot Studio, LangChain, AutoGen, or similar AI/LLM platforms or frameworks.
• Understanding of AI and LLM application-security risks, including prompt injection, insecure output handling, data leakage, excessive agency, insecure tool use, model governance, and AI supply-chain risks.
• Security certifications such as CSSLP, GWAPT, GWEB, OSCP, OSWE, CISSP, CISM, or CCSP; AI-related certifications such as AI-900 or AI-102 are also a plus.
