Every new AI deployment creates a new attack surface. The work has two halves. One half is defending AI systems against prompt injection, jailbreaking, training data poisoning, and model extraction. The other is using AI to strengthen traditional security operations like threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability assessment. You'll audit AI systems for security flaws, implement input sanitization and output filtering, run red-team exercises against LLM applications, and deploy AI-powered monitoring across large environments. Two jobs in one role.

Why This Matters

Every AI deployment is a new attack surface. The EU AI Act is now in active enforcement, and prompt injection attacks are getting more sophisticated by the month in 2026. Organizations urgently need professionals who speak both AI and security. The combination is rare. The pay reflects that.
