Position

We are looking for an AI Security Engineer to secure our AI-driven systems, including LLM-based applications, machine learning models, and AI-enabled automation tools. This role will focus on identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risks across the AI lifecycle—from model development and training to deployment and runtime monitoring. The ideal candidate combines strong security engineering experience with a deep understanding of machine learning systems and emerging AI-specific threats (e.g., prompt injection, model poisoning, data leakage, adversarial attacks).
