Corporate Security Engineer, AI

Key Responsibilities:

AI/ML Security — Integrations & Environment:

• Review and assess the security of AI system integrations across the corporate environment: LLM deployments, RAG pipelines, AI APIs, and AI-enabled automation tools

• Evaluate configuration, access controls, and data flows of AI systems — the security of how AI is deployed and connected to corporate data and infrastructure

• Conduct threat modelling for AI integrations and define secure deployment patterns for AI-powered tools

• Support security reviews for new AI initiatives, tools, and vendor integrations before they reach production

AI Threat Detection & Mitigation:

• Identify and mitigate AI-specific threats: prompt injection & jailbreaks, model poisoning & data contamination, adversarial attacks, training-data leakage, insecure model serialisation, excessive permissions in AI agents

• Develop guardrails, content filters, and output-validation mechanisms

• Implement monitoring for anomalous AI behaviour across integrated systems

AI Data Egress & Data Protection:

• Own data protection controls in AI contexts: govern what data reaches LLM integrations, AI APIs, and AI-enabled tools

• Design and maintain DLP policies specifically for AI channels — share links, API-connected AI tools, AI browser extensions, and automation agents

• Ensure AI system compliance with GDPR, data-privacy regulations, and financial-industry data handling requirements

• Perform AI-specific data risk assessments aligned with the internal risk methodology

AI Tool Risk & Shadow AI:

• Operate the controls that govern AI tool use across the organisation — detection policies, sanctioned-tool enforcement, share-link and egress controls

• Lead third-party AI tool due diligence and ongoing assurance of AI vendor integrations

• Monitor AI tool usage patterns and investigate anomalous behaviour

• Contribute to AI security standards, internal policies, and the company's AI risk classification framework

Compliance & Governance:

• Own the AI security governance framework: policy authoring, risk classification, control design, and regulatory mapping

• Maintain the AI risk register and report on AI-related risk posture to management

• Map AI security controls against applicable regulatory frameworks: EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, GDPR, and financial-sector requirements across FCA, CySEC, ASIC, SCB, and SCA jurisdictions

• Participate in audit cycles; provide technical evidence and explain AI control design to auditors and regulators

Required Qualifications:

• 3–5+ years in cybersecurity with hands-on experience in AI/ML system security or a strong AI security focus;

• Deep knowledge of AI-specific security risks and mitigations: prompt injection, model poisoning, data leakage, adversarial attacks, excessive permissions in AI agents;

• Hands-on experience securing LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, and AI APIs — reviewing configurations, access controls, and data flows;

• Experience authoring AI security policies, standards, and risk classification frameworks;

• Familiarity with AI governance frameworks: EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and their application in a regulated financial services context;

• Experience running AI risk assessments and maintaining an AI risk register;

• Ability to manage third-party AI tool due diligence and control shadow AI across a distributed workforce;

• Python proficiency for automation and scripting.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Recognised certifications: CISM, CISSP, or equivalent;

• Experience in fintech or a regulated financial services environment;

• Multi-jurisdiction compliance exposure (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, SCB, or SCA);

• Experience building AI-powered security automation — autonomous agents, LLM-driven triage, automated response workflows;

• Experience presenting AI security risk posture to leadership or board-level audiences.

Soft Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;

• Ability to translate technical AI risk into business and regulatory impact;

• Able to explain AI security risks and mitigations to non-security teams;

• Cross-functional collaboration with risk, compliance, product, and engineering teams;

• Clear documentation and communication skills.
