Security engineer for AI systems

AWS Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) embeds AI engineers directly inside strategic enterprise customers to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems. We are looking for a Security Engineer to join the FDE security team and help secure production AI systems deployed in customer environments.

• Conduct security design reviews, code reviews, and architecture assessments for production AI systems (agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, orchestration layers, model integrations) under guidance from senior security engineers
• Perform threat modeling and penetration testing for AI/ML applications deployed in customer environments; identify vulnerabilities and work with FDE engineers to implement fixes before production release
• Build and maintain security automation: scanning tools, CI/CD security gates, guardrail testing scripts, secrets detection, and dependency vulnerability checks for forward-deployed AI systems
• Implement security controls for AI-specific threats: prompt injection prevention, output filtering, data isolation, model API endpoint hardening, and guardrail configuration
• Support security incident response for FDE-delivered production AI systems; assist with triage, root cause analysis, and remediation under senior engineer guidance
• Document security findings, patterns, and remediation guidance as reusable playbooks and runbooks that benefit future FDE engagements
• Contribute to the FDE security accelerator library: reusable modules, templates, and reference configurations that help FDE engineers build secure AI systems faster

• 2+ years of troubleshooting systems issues, analyzing logs, or automating basic tasks using command line tools (non-internship) experience
• 2+ years of (non-internship) scripting, programming, and security code review in common programming languages experience
• 2+ years of work in identifying security issues and risks, and developing mitigation plans experience
• 2+ years hands on building AI/agentic systems
