    Job Summary

    We are seeking experienced Cyber AI Security & Forensic Engineers to help identify, assess, and mitigate emerging cybersecurity risks associated with Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI, and autonomous/agentic AI systems.

    There are two openings for this position:

    • IT Cyber AI Security & Forensic Engineer: Focused on enterprise applications, cloud environments, LLM/GenAI applications, APIs, AI agents, and application security.
    • OT Cyber AI Security & Forensic Engineer: Focused on applying AI security and cybersecurity principles within Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, and industrial environments.

    The ideal candidates will have a strong cybersecurity foundation combined with hands-on experience assessing AI/LLM applications, identifying vulnerabilities and bypass techniques, recommending security controls, and applying security frameworks such as OWASP.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Perform security testing of AI applications, LLMs, Generative AI solutions, and AI-enabled platforms to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, misuse cases, and potential bypass techniques.
    • Conduct AI/LLM security assessments, including testing for prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, insecure outputs, model manipulation, and unauthorized access.
    • Evaluate AI applications and integrations for security weaknesses across APIs, data sources, tools, plugins, and external services.
    • Assess agentic AI architectures and autonomous software agents to understand how agents interact with external tools, APIs, data, and enterprise systems.
    • Evaluate agent permissions, tool access, authentication, authorization, and least-privilege controls.
    • Identify risks associated with excessive agency, insecure tool use, indirect prompt injection, and unauthorized actions.
    • Recommend secure AI and data usage practices, including data protection, access controls, secure prompts, guardrails, and responsible AI practices.
    • Apply OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10, OWASP LLM Top 10, and other applicable security standards to identify and communicate security risks.
    • Perform threat modeling and security assessments for AI-enabled applications and services.
    • Work with application, cloud, data, infrastructure, and cybersecurity teams to remediate identified vulnerabilities.
    • Support vulnerability management, incident investigations, digital forensics, and root-cause analysis where required.
    • Review logs, telemetry, application behavior, and security events to identify suspicious or malicious AI activity.
    • Develop security recommendations, assessment reports, remediation plans, and technical documentation.
    • Stay current with emerging AI attack techniques, LLM vulnerabilities, agentic AI risks, and AI security frameworks.

    IT Position – Additional Responsibilities

    • Assess security of enterprise LLM/GenAI applications, APIs, cloud services, RAG solutions, vector databases, and AI integrations.
    • Test AI applications for prompt injection, jailbreaks, sensitive information disclosure, insecure output handling, and data poisoning.
    • Review AI integrations with enterprise applications, SaaS platforms, APIs, and external tools.
    • Evaluate cloud security controls across AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
    • Support application security, API security, secure SDLC, SAST/DAST, and DevSecOps initiatives.
    • Analyze AI application logs and telemetry for security anomalies and potential abuse.

    OT Position – Additional Responsibilities

    • Apply AI and cybersecurity security practices to Operational Technology environments, including ICS, SCADA, PLC, DCS, and industrial control systems.
    • Assess security risks associated with AI-enabled OT applications and autonomous systems.
    • Understand OT network architecture, segmentation, remote access, industrial protocols, and OT security controls.
    • Support OT incident response, threat hunting, forensic investigations, and security assessments.
    • Evaluate the potential impact of AI-driven attacks or compromised AI systems on industrial environments.
    • Work closely with OT engineering, controls, infrastructure, and cybersecurity teams to identify and mitigate risks.

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
    • Strong cybersecurity engineering, application security, penetration testing, or security assessment experience.
    • Hands-on experience with AI/ML security, LLM security, Generative AI security, or AI application testing.
    • Understanding of common LLM and AI vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and security controls.
    • Experience with OWASP Top 10 and preferably OWASP LLM Top 10 / OWASP Agentic AI security concepts.
    • Experience with threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, security testing, and risk analysis.
    • Understanding of authentication, authorization, API security, data protection, and least-privilege principles.
    • Experience analyzing security findings and providing practical remediation recommendations.
    • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.
