Position Title: Senior Security AI Engineer
Location: Rahway, NJ (Fully Remote)
Duration: 6 months with possible extension

About the Role:
Seeking a Senior Security AI Engineer to design and build AI-enabled security solutions and automations across enterprise security domains, including security operations, cloud and infrastructure security, identity, and application security. This role is focused on hands-on engineering and solution delivery. The successful candidate will work on complex security problems, design appropriate AI-augmented or automated solutions, and implement them in production environments.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build AI-assisted security solutions, including agent-style workflows and decision services.
• Translate security problems into engineered, production-ready solutions.
• Develop integrations and automations using APIs, services, and event-driven architectures.
• Apply engineering judgment to determine when AI, automation, or traditional logic is appropriate.
• Work across multiple security domains to deliver reusable solutions.
• Collaborate with security engineers, platform engineers, and data scientists as needed.
• Write maintainable, well-tested code and automation logic.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor s degree in computer science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in security engineering, systems engineering, or security automation.
• Strong experience building and deploying production security systems or automations.
• Solid understanding of:
• Security operations concepts.
• Cloud and infrastructure environments.
• Identity and access management.
• Experience using AI or LLM-based capabilities as part of real systems.
• Proficiency in programming or scripting (Python or similar).
• Experience working with APIs and distributed systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master s degree or PhD in a related technical field.
• Experience designing AI-assisted workflows or agent-like systems.
• Background across multiple security domains (SOC, cloud, IAM, AppSec).
• Experience integrating with enterprise security platforms and internal services.

What Success Looks Like

• Delivers working, production-grade AI-enabled security solutions, not prototypes.
• Converts ambiguous security problems into clear, engineered implementations.
• Builds solutions that are safe, explainable, and operationally usable.
• Reduces manual security effort through effective automation and AI-assisted decisioning.
• Earns trust from security engineers and domain teams through technical credibility.
• Contributes reusable patterns that scale across security domains.
