Your New Role
As the
Ai Security & Governance Engineer
- , you will be the primary authority on "Responsible AI" for the organization.

- Translate high-level AI policies into enforceable technical guardrails and automated checks across the organization.

- **AI Risk & Red-Teaming:**
- Conduct threat modeling specifically for LLMs, including jailbreak testing, prompt injection defense, and content safety filtering.
- **Post-Deployment Assurance:**
- Monitor AI solutions for drift and abuse, ensuring every release meets the organization’s "Governance Stage Gates" (from pre-development to post-deployment).
- **Vendor & Audit Oversight:**
- Define and enforce transparency and data-usage boundaries for external vendors, while ensuring the organization maintains a "zero critical audit finding" status.
What You'Ll Need To Succeed
- We are looking for a senior-level security professional who understands that AI requires a new paradigm of data protection.
- **Experience:**
- 8–10 years in cloud security and governance, with a specific focus on the Microsoft security stack and exposure to AI systems.

(Information Protection Administrator)
- **Technical Proficiency:**

- **Industry Knowledge:**
- Familiarity with AI/LLM threat modeling and "Policy-as-code" (Azure Policy).
- **Communication:**
- The ability to act as a "Governance Authority," effectively interfacing with external architects and internal Legal/Compliance teams.
What You'Ll Get In Return
- This role places you at the forefront of AI safety in the Middle East, offering:
- **Strategic Authority:**
- You will be the primary decision-maker for AI risk classification and control baselines.
- **High-Impact Projects:**
- Secure "Everyday AI" and "Game-Changing AI" initiatives that directly affect global maritime operations.
- **Professional Leadership:**
- Influence the digital roadmap of a major Abu Dhabi entity while working with world-class technology partners.
