Principal Security Engineer – Adversarial AI

100% remote – London office location as needed.

Startup 

AI organisations are everywhere, but not all of them are solving the worlds hardest problems working on a global stage in the most complex market on earth. We are working in high-risk environments where the stakes aren’t just “uptime” or “revenue”—they are measured in human lives and the health of our planet.

We are a busy well funded startup, we have secured our first projects globally with many in the pipeline. We weren’t kidding about the lost lives comment, Cyber Security really is central to our product offering.  If you are looking to be a ‘key’ player in the early stages of the function this could be for you (we could equally have run with Lead or principle) as the title.

we are looking for individuals who can on one hand architect polished solutions from a hackers vantage point, and on the other pick up a list of vulnerabilities that need to be cleaned with out feeling it’s beneath you.  Expect to be challenged but it’s a start up it’s mad, and it’s busy and we are all supporting one another to get the right outcomes for us and our clients.  You should relish that kind of environment, though we are open to individuals from all backgrounds and appreciate larger companies often have mavericks in their ranks so no judgment on where you have cut your teeth.

Adverserial AI exposure is a must, we are looking to push the envelope with AI in the Cyber Security realm, with plans for automated agentic SOC’s and much more.  

You have some idea of our culture and the type of problem solver, hands on people we love to work with, but it’s worth noting the calibre of our team is high, with many coming from large successful global roles, with impressive qualifications to back up their experience.  We are however all about the ‘got the T-shirt’ individuals, those that have genuinely walked the walk outside the classroom.

It’s likely applicants will meet most of the criteria below:

• Genuine hands on red team AI exposure, with an appreciation of the nuances that are specific to AI models.

• Your experience will include Red Team strategy, cloud and Machine learning understanding, that enables you to building realistic and creative attack strategies to trip up our systems.

• You will work closely with many technical areas of the company while also being a prominent member the management team will look to for guidance and advice on All things security.   Reporting in to the head of Security a veteran in the sector you will work closely to ensure our systems remain protected and running.

• Your tool kit will mean you enjoy playing the bad guy, modelling threats and running these to improve our platform.

• Alongside your offense game you will also be knowledgeable in detection logic, cloud security and the fundamentals of well managed cyber security for a cloud based platform, to include DevOps etc.

We are young in our journey with the realities of running and managing a highly complex AI environment balanced against huge early commercial success.  You will be helping us navigate this challenging path, a ‘caretaker’ role this isn’t.

You will be a big picture thinker, looking at knock on effects not just those initial risks a threat may pose.

You will be someone who takes genuine pleasure in solving tough problems.  We chose one if not the most complex problems to solve for the planet and we are already making an impact, that brings with it meaningful work and little room for ego’s.
