• Experience embedding security into MLOps and AI/ML development pipelines (and the CI/CD workflows that feed them), including model and dataset integrity checks, guardrail validation, and automated security testing.
• Proven ability to communicate complex security risk clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, including engineers, leadership, and customers.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers and serving as a senior technical authority and subject-matter expert.
• Hands-on offensive security and AI red-teaming experience targeting AI systems-including prompt injection, jailbreaks, data poisoning, model extraction, and agent/tool-abuse techniques-along with familiarity testing the web, API, and infrastructure layers these systems depend on.
• Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship. We are unable to provide sponsorship now or in the future for this position.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with AI/ML security tooling and AI security posture management (AI-SPM) platforms (e.g., Wiz AI-SPM, Protect AI, HiddenLayer, Lakera, or comparable model-scanning and guardrail solutions), complemented by familiarity with broader cloud and enterprise security platforms.
• Hands-on experience securing AI/LLM-enabled and agentic applications, including deep familiarity with OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI, MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI RMF, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) security implications.
• Practical experience with agent frameworks and orchestration (e.g., LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or custom agent architectures) and with LLM evaluation, observability, and red-teaming tooling for testing model and agent behavior.
• Experience operating within governance, risk, and compliance frameworks, with exposure to enterprise AI adoption, third-party/vendor AI risk assessment, and AI policy or standards development.
• Experience in client-facing, consulting, or pre-sales roles, translating AI security concepts for customer and executive audiences through briefings, workshops, or advisory engagements.
• Industry certifications such as CISSP, OSCP, or AWS/Azure/GCP security certifications; emerging AI-security-specific credentials (e.g., AI red-teaming or AI/LLM security certifications) are especially valued.

World Wide Technology's Information Security organization is hiring a Senior AI Security Engineer to help secure the organization's AI and machine learning ecosystem and reduce risk across WWT-developed and WWT-operated AI systems. As a Senior AI Security Engineer, you'll be a hands-on technical contributor helping mature an evolving AI security function. Your focus is executing the highest-impact technical security work and enabling teams to build and deploy AI systems securely at speed through threat modeling, model and AI application security review, adversarial testing and red-teaming, security tooling and automation, and vulnerability remediation across the AI/ML lifecycle. Beyond securing what we build, you'll help govern the safe adoption of AI across the enterprise, establishing standards for sanctioned AI use, evaluating third-party AI tools and vendors, and reducing the risk of shadow AI. You'll support our customer-facing teams, equipping them to educate customers on AI security best practices and serving as a technical resource in customer conversations. You'll also help grow the skills of those around you and act as a trusted AI security resource for teams across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Threat model AI/ML systems across the lifecycle (data ingestion, training, fine-tuning, deployment, inference).
• Assess and mitigate AI-specific attack classes such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, data poisoning, adversarial examples, and insecure agent and tool-use patterns.
• Secure the ML pipeline and supply chain, including model provenance and the evaluation of third-party and open-source models.
• Advise on compliance alignment (e.g., NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, OWASP).
• Establish AI security policies, standards, and secure-development guidance for teams building with AI.
• Partner with detection & response teams to extend monitoring and incident response to AI-related incidents.
• Help govern sanctioned vs shadow AI use; review and harden 3rd-party AI vendors and integrations.
• Create and monitor controls around AI prompts, data movement and AI guardrails across the AI stack for the organization.
• Continuously monitor the AI threat landscape and translate research into actionable engineering mitigations.
• Partner with IT and cross-functional teams outside of Information Security offering technical expertise around secure use and adoption of AI.
• Enable customer-facing teams by developing AI security guidance and reference materials, supporting customer briefings and workshops, and serving as a technical subject-matter expert in customer engagements.
