About the Role
This job secures AI/ML, Generative AI, and agentic systems across the enterprise by designing, testing, and operating controls that protect these systems at scale in a regulated healthcare environment. The role combines hands-on adversarial testing, deep understanding of LLM and agent architectures, and production security expertise to prevent, detect, and contain AI-driven risk involving PHI, while advising engineering and security leadership on emerging AI threats and regulatory exposure.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and operate security controls for AI/ML, GenAI, and agentic systems across model-level, data-level, and platform-level protections on Azure, GCP, AWS, and SaaS.
- Engineer and enforce guardrails to mitigate prompt injection, unsafe outputs, unauthorized tool execution, data leakage, and insecure agentic workflow behavior, with a focus on PHI/PII exposure.
- Design and execute AI red-team exercises targeting LLMs and AI agents, including prompt injection, jailbreaking, tool and memory poisoning, behavioral drift, unsafe autonomy, and emergent privilege escalation.
- Analyze agent logic, tool graphs, and multi-step workflows to identify systemic security weaknesses beyond prompt-level attacks, translating findings into reusable attack libraries and actionable engineering fixes.
- Build and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting for AI systems covering prompt behavior, tool invocation patterns, output anomalies, and workflow execution, implementing detection content for policy-violating AI behavior.
- Embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines and agentic delivery workflows, partnering with AI platform, data engineering, and application teams to integrate security requirements from design through deployment.
- Apply NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, and OWASP LLM Top 10 to assess and manage AI security risks.
- Contribute to enterprise AI security standards, reference architectures, and governance policy.
- Advise leadership on AI cybersecurity risk and regulatory considerations specific to healthcare AI deployment.
- Perform other duties as assigned or requested.
Requirements
- 5 years of experience in Cybersecurity engineering, application security, or platform security.
- 3 years of experience in AI/ML or Generative AI security (prompt injection defense, unsafe output handling, tool-use abuse, data leakage).
- 5 years of experience in securing production systems in enterprise environments.
- 3 years of experience in Hybrid multi-cloud security (Azure, GCP, AWS).
- 2 years of experience in Detection engineering, monitoring, and alerting for complex application or workflow environments.
- 2 years of experience in AI red-team execution (jailbreaking, behavioral drift, misuse-case validation) using tools such as PyRIT, Promptfoo, AgentDojo.
- 2 years of experience in securing agentic systems, multi-step AI workflows, or tool-calling architectures.
- 2 years of experience in a highly regulated industry (healthcare, financial services) with HIPAA or equivalent compliance obligations.
- 1 year of experience in Identity, access management, secrets handling, and runtime policy enforcement for AI workloads.
Skills
- Deep working knowledge of AI/LLM security risks: prompt injection, unsafe outputs, tool-use abuse, data leakage, identity misuse, and agentic workflow escalation.
- Hands-on proficiency with AI security frameworks: NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, OWASP LLM Top 10.
- Cloud security fluency across Azure, GCP, and AWS, including native security tooling (Defender for Cloud, Wiz, GCP SCC).
- Adversarial testing experience with AI red-team tooling (PyRIT, Promptfoo, AgentDojo, or custom harnesses).
- Detection engineering — building monitoring logic, alerting pipelines, and telemetry for AI system behavior.
- Proficiency in Python (or equivalent) for security automation, test harness development, and pipeline integration.
- Secure API design, access controls, secrets management, and environment-based deployment controls for AI workloads.
- HIPAA data handling requirements and PHI/PII protection considerations in AI pipelines and agentic workflows.
- Strong written and verbal communication — capable of producing technical findings, remediation guidance, and executive security narratives.
- Ability to operate effectively as a senior individual contributor in a large, matrixed healthcare organization.
