Job Description
Dice is the leading career destination for tech experts at every stage of their careers. Our client, New York Technology Partners, is seeking the following. Apply via Dice today! Education: Bachelors degree Preferred Certifications: CISSP, CCSP, CISM, Azure Security Engineer Associate, or AI-specific credentials Required Qualifications: Security Architecture & Engineering: 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 3 years focused on security architecture or engineering. Demonstrated ability to design end-to-end security architectures for cloud-native and hybrid enterprise environments Strong working knowledge of network security, application security, data protection, and zero-trust principles Identity, Authentication & Access Management (IAA/IAM): Hands-on experience designing and implementing IAM solutions in enterprise environments (e.g., Entra ID / Azure AD, Okta, Ping, AWS IAM) Deep understanding of authentication and authorization protocols: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, and token-based flows (including on-behalf-of and client credential grants) Experience with service identity management, managed identities, workload identity federation, and privileged access governance for non-human actors AI / Machine Learning Security: 1-3 years of demonstrated experience working with AI/ML systems in a security, governance, or engineering capacity. This is calibrated to the maturity of the enterprise AI space we recognize the field is young and value depth of engagement over length of tenure Practical understanding of LLM deployment patterns, agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph), and the security risks they introduce Familiarity with AI-specific threat vectors: prompt injection, training data poisoning, model inversion, tool/plugin abuse, and supply chain risks in model and connector ecosystems Exposure to AI governance frameworks and standards: NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, OWASP AI Top 10, MITRE ATLAS Communication & Stakeholder Engagement: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to translate complex technical security concepts into business-relevant language for executive and non-technical audiences Experience authoring formal security documentation: architecture decision records, risk assessments, implementation guides, and policy documents Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams, facilitate architecture review boards, and present security recommendations with clarity and confidence Preferred Qualifications: Experience in financial services, healthcare, or other heavily regulated industries with multi-jurisdictional compliance requirements (e.g., SOX, GDPR, MiFID II, SR 11-7) Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure and M365 security ecosystems, including Entra ID, Azure AI Foundry, Copilot Studio, Defender for Cloud, and Purview Familiarity with API gateway security patterns for AI services (e.g., Azure APIM, Kong, Cloudflare AI Gateway) Knowledge of model security scanning, container security for ML workloads, and secure MLOps pipeline design Experience evaluating or implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) security controls Background in contributing to security communities of practice, mentoring junior engineers, or publishing security research AI Security Engineer Summary: We are seeking an experienced AI Security Engineer to lead the design, assessment, and governance of security controls for AI and machine learning systems across the enterprise This role sits at the intersection of cybersecurity architecture, identity and access management (IAM), and emerging AI/ML technologies You will be responsible for ensuring that AI workloads including large language models, agentic frameworks, and ML pipelines are deployed securely within a complex, regulated environment The ideal candidate combines deep security architecture expertise with practical, hands-on experience in AI systems Given that enterprise AI adoption is still a rapidly evolving discipline, we value demonstrated engagement with AI security concepts and tooling proportional to the maturity of the field. Job Responsibilities: Design and implement security architectures for AI/ML platforms, including model hosting environments, inference endpoints, training pipelines, and agentic AI systems. Develop and enforce identity, authentication, and authorization (IAA) frameworks for AI workloads, ensuring least-privilege access, service identity governance, and secure token flows (e.g., OAuth 2.0, OBO, managed identities). Lead threat modeling and risk assessments for AI deployments, leveraging frameworks such as OWASP AI Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, and NIST AI RM
