Job Summary
The AI Security Automation Engineer is responsible for designing a resilient self healing infrastructure capable of defending against automated high frequency vulnerability discovery Their mission is to bridge the gap between AI driven threat identification and instantaneous architectural response ensuring the organizations defense operates at machine speed
Responsibilities
Integrate and manage frontier AI models and LLMbased security tools to perform continuous autonomous redteaming of production and development environments
Design and maintain automated pipelines that trigger immediate defensive actionssuch as virtual patching microsegmentation or credential rotationupon the discovery of valid exploit paths
Develop infrastructure templates TerraformAnsible that allow for the rapid hardening of the environment in response to newly discovered classes of algorithmic attacks
Analyze how frontier models chain minor vulnerabilities into complex exploits and use those insights to redesign architectural guardrails
Build APIdriven connections between autonomous discovery engines and the broader security stack WAF SIEM and CICD pipelines
