Director, Security Products: Key Management

10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 4–5 years focused on AI/ML security, adversarial machine learning, or security data science in a production cloud or technology environment.

Demonstrated track record of defining and driving AI or security programs at an organizational level — not just executing within them. You have owned a strategy, not just implemented one.

Deep, practitioner-level knowledge of adversarial ML attack and defence: evasion, poisoning, model extraction, membership inference, and prompt injection at both conceptual and implementation depth.

Ability to read, evaluate, and synthesise academic AI security research and translate it into concrete engineering guidance and organizational policy.

Experience engaging executive and senior leadership audiences on technical risk: you can translate complex AI threat scenarios into business-level impact and justify investment decisions accordingly.

Strong programming skills in Python and Go with a track record of building security tooling and automation, not just reviewing others' code. You can stand up adversarial testing, detection, and guardrail capabilities yourself.

Proficiency reviewing and critiquing AI/ML system architecture (data ingestion, feature engineering, training pipelines, model serving, continuous monitoring) made by ML engineers and data scientists.

Hands-on experience with AI red-team and defensive tooling and with model supply-chain frameworks.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Mathematics, or a related field — or equivalent depth of practical experience.

Fluency in OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act.

Prior experience in a cloud provider, security product company, or large-scale internet platform where AI/ML systems operate at significant customer-facing scale.

Familiarity with LLM security in production: securing RAG pipelines, agentic frameworks, and model APIs against prompt injection, jailbreaking, and data exfiltration.
