About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Designing, implementing, and automating security controls across cloud and AI environments, ensuring secure-by-default architecture, continuous compliance, and protection against evolving threats
Implement and operate AI Security Posture Management (AI SPM) solutions, including Cloud security posture management to continuously assess, detect, and remediate risks across AI and cloud environments
Secure AI and Generative AI workloads, including model pipelines, training data, inference APIs, and LLM integrations against threats such as prompt injection, data leakage, model abuse, and adversarial attacks
Design and implement AI SPM controls to provide visibility into AI assets, monitor model usage and access patterns, enforce security guardrails, and manage AI risks across the full lifecycle
Embed security into CI/CD and MLOps pipelines (DevSecOps) using automated controls such as SAST/DAST, IaC scanning, secrets detection, and compliance enforcement gates
Develop and maintain security policies and policy-as-code frameworks (e.g., Azure Policy) to enforce governance, regulatory compliance, and responsible AI usage
Engineer monitoring, detection, and response capabilities for cloud and AI systems, integrating telemetry with SIEM/SOAR platforms for centralized visibility and automated response
Perform security testing and validation across cloud, application, API, and AI layers, including AI-specific scenarios such as prompt injection and model misuse prior to production deployment
Automate security operations through scripting and tooling (e.g., Python, PowerShell) to improve efficiency, scalability, and consistency of controls
Conduct risk assessments, threat modeling, and security reviews for cloud infrastructure and AI systems to identify vulnerabilities and implement mitigation strategies
Collaborate with AI teams and security stakeholders to drive secure-by-design architectures and enable scalable, governed AI adoption
