Role Summary

We are hiring an AI Security & Governance Architect to design and own the security, privacy, and compliance layer for enterprise AI and LLM usage across our platform. This role will define how AI interactions are governed, monitored, and audited in regulated environments, ensuring customers can safely adopt AI while meeting compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2, GDPR).

You will work closely with software engineers, LLM engineers, and platform teams to translate regulatory, security, and privacy requirements into enforceable, scalable technical controls without introducing application-level friction or latency.

Key Responsibilities

AI Governance & Security Architecture

• Design governance controls for AI/LLM usage as backend infrastructure (VPC-level, server-side).
• Define policies for data visibility, classification, retention, redaction, and access across AI workflows.
• Lead threat modeling for AI systems (prompt leakage, data exfiltration, shadow AI usage, model misuse).
  
  
  

Compliance & Audit Enablement

• Map platform capabilities to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA where applicable).
• Define audit-grade evidence requirements and immutable logging strategies.
• Partner with auditors, legal, and security teams to ensure controls meet enterprise and regulatory expectations.
  
  
  

Privacy & Data Protection

• Establish data minimization and purpose-limitation policies for AI interactions.
• Define handling of PII, sensitive data, and regulated data types within AI pipelines.
• Advise on anonymization, pseudonymization, encryption, and retention strategies.
  
  
  

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate with LLM engineers to define semantic data classification and policy enforcement logic.
• Partner with platform engineers to embed governance controls without requiring application refactors.
• Support product and sales teams with security documentation, customer trust materials, and technical explanations.
  
  
  

Required Qualifications

Technical & Domain Expertise

• 2+ years in security architecture, privacy engineering, compliance engineering, or governance roles.
• Hands-on experience designing security controls for cloud-native systems (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Strong understanding of data protection regulations (GDPR, SOC 2; HIPAA a plus).
• Familiarity with AI/ML or LLM systems, including data flows, prompts, embeddings, and inference pipelines.
  
  
  

Discover our full range of relocation jobs with comprehensive support packages to help you relocate and settle in your new location.

Practical Skills

• Ability to translate regulatory requirements into concrete technical designs.
• Experience with audit preparation, evidence collection, and control validation.
• Strong threat modeling and risk assessment skills.
• Comfortable working with engineering teams on deeply technical systems.
  
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working on AI governance, ML platforms, or data infrastructure.
• Background in privacy engineering or Data Protection Officer (DPO) functions.
• Experience designing immutable audit trails or compliance observability systems.
• Familiarity with enterprise security questionnaires and vendor risk assessments.
