We back our people to grow into new domains and take on challenges beyond their previous experience. ROLE SUMMARY The Senior AI Security Engineer - AI Products & Applications will be embedded within the AI & Applications team to enable the secure design, development, release, and operation of AI products and applications. The role works directly with AI engineers, application engineers, product managers, inference engineers, DevOps, and platform teams to build practical security controls into agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), model-serving APIs, enterprise-data integrations, and user-facing AI experiences. This is a product- and application-oriented security role. The engineer will help teams deliver trusted AI features without unnecessarily slowing innovation, while ensuring that AI products protect customer, enterprise, and operational data. The role reports operationally to the Head of AI & Applications, with a dotted-line reporting relationship to the Head of Cybersecurity to maintain alignment with enterprise security strategy, risk management, compliance requirements, and incident-response processes.
