AI Security Engineer

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential healthcare technology client seeking an AI Security Engineer to join their Security Engineering team. This is a remote opportunity based in the United States for a technical professional who wants to shape how AI and machine learning are secured in a fast-moving, regulated healthcare environment.

In this role, you will assess AI systems for vulnerabilities, build guardrails against emerging threats, and partner with engineering and data teams to embed security into the AI development lifecycle. You will work hands-on to identify risks like prompt injection, model inversion, and data leakage before they become incidents. The ideal candidate is curious about how AI systems can fail and eager to build proactive defenses.

Responsibilities

• Lead security assessments of AI/ML models, data pipelines, and AI-enabled applications, identifying vulnerabilities such as prompt injection, model inversion, data poisoning, and adversarial inputs
• Partner with data and engineering teams to embed security requirements and threat modeling into the AI development lifecycle, from data collection through model deployment
• Build and maintain guardrails, monitoring, and detection controls for AI systems in production, flagging anomalous model behavior and unauthorized data access
• Conduct security reviews of third-party AI tools, APIs, and vendors, such as LLM providers, before integration
• Lead incident response for AI-related security events, including investigating suspicious model outputs or unexpected data exposure
• Design and advise on standards for secure, responsible AI use, including data handling practices for training and inference
• Test and validate access controls, encryption, and data segmentation for AI systems
• Use AI tools to accelerate security testing, code review, and threat research
• Stay current on the evolving AI threat landscape and translate emerging risks into practical mitigations
• Document findings, risk assessments, and remediation plans for both technical and non-technical stakeholders

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Bachelor's degree and 5+ years in security engineering or application security, including hands-on experience securing AI/ML systems or LLM-based applications
• Deep knowledge of AI/ML security risks, including the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, adversarial ML, and data poisoning, with proven ability to test for and mitigate them
• Hands-on experience with security tooling, including SAST/DAST and vulnerability scanning
• Proficiency scripting in Python or a similar language
• Understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and how AI/ML workloads are deployed and secured
• Clear communication skills to translate technical risk into terms non-security stakeholders understand
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where systems and priorities are evolving

Nice to Have:

• Experience securing systems in a regulated healthcare or life sciences environment (HIPAA, HITRUST)
• Familiarity with LLM security frameworks and tools such as MITRE ATLAS, Garak, or promptfoo
• Security certifications such as OSCP, GCIH, or CISSP
• Experience red-teaming or penetration-testing AI/ML systems specifically
