Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, AI Security

The Senior Technical Consultant (Forward Deployed Engineer) for AI Security is a senior, customer-facing technical engineer responsible for deploying, integrating, and operationalizing AI security capabilities in real-world customer and enterprise environments, with a focus on securing AI systems, LLM applications, and agentic workflows. This role works at the intersection of engineering, AI, security, data, and customer success to translate complex requirements into scalable, production-ready solutions.

This individual partners closely with security leads, AI engineers, data scientists, platform teams, and infrastructure stakeholders to implement AI security controls, secure AI development pipelines, integrate security tooling for AI systems, and accelerate time to value. The ideal candidate brings 7+ years of security experience and combines deep technical expertise in AI systems, model and data security, and cloud platforms with proven experience developing technical proposals and statements of work, leading cross-team collaboration, and driving customer-facing delivery at a principal level.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical engineer for deploying and operationalizing AI security solutions in customer or enterprise environments

• Support development technical proposals, statements of work, and solution architectures that scope AI security engagements and support business development efforts

• Translate business, operational, and AI security requirements into deployable architectures and implementation plans

• Partner with internal and external stakeholders to ensure solutions are aligned to AI governance, compliance requirements, and long-term platform strategy

• Support engagement leaders during onboarding, implementation, rollout, and optimization phases

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in security engineering, AI engineering, platform engineering, forward deployed engineering, solutions consulting, or related technical roles, with demonstrated progression to a principal or senior consulting level

• Hands-on experience securing AI systems, LLM applications, or AI production pipelines

• Experience deploying cloud-native architectures on at least one major cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or GCP

• Strong background in data integration, telemetry pipelines, normalization, and security analytics workflows applied to AI systems

• Experience working directly with customers, executive stakeholders, or cross-functional delivery teams in implementation-focused environments

• Proven experience developing technical proposals, statements of work, and scoping documents for customer engagements

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of AI security risks, including prompt injection, model theft, data poisoning, adversarial attacks, and agentic AI risks, alongside foundational cloud, identity, and endpoint security

• Experience with scripting and automation using tools such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash

• Familiarity with APIs and integration patterns including REST, webhooks, and event-driven workflows

• Working knowledge of AI concepts including LLMs, vector search, retrieval-augmented generation, model evaluation, and AI assistants or agents

• Strong problem-solving skills, execution mindset, and ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
