TL;DR · AI Security Architect

The AI Security Architect- ARC, Apple Information Security joins the Assurance ARC team to provide security architecture guidance for high-risk AI initiatives. This role involves building "paved roads" of pre-approved, secure-by-default patterns, conducting design reviews, and creating scalable AI-powered guidance for engineers and data scientists. You will address specific risks such as data poisoning, model manipulation, and prompt injection while utilizing AI to automate threat modeling and control validation. The position requires expertise in security architecture, cloud security, and Zero Trust principles. Candidates should be proficient in Python, Swift, or Java and possess a deep understanding of AI/ML pipelines and regulatory frameworks like the EU AI Act or NIST AI RMF. You will bridge the gap between traditional security practices and emerging risks to ensure safe adoption of AI across products and services.

What you'll do

  • Provide security architecture guidance and design reviews for high-risk AI initiatives across products, services, and operations.
  • Develop "paved roads" by creating pre-approved, reusable, and secure-by-default architectural patterns for AI systems.
  • Evaluate specific AI risks including data poisoning, model manipulation, and prompt injection.
  • Automate security workflows such as threat modeling, design reviews, and control validation using AI and LLMs.
  • Codify security decisions and trade-offs into an AI-powered Self-Service Enablement Platform for broader organizational use.
  • Identify emerging AI/ML technologies and architectural patterns to inform the organization's future security focus areas.
  • Translate complex security requirements into actionable guidance for engineers, data scientists, and product teams.

What we're looking for

  • Hold a BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Security, or have 6+ years of equivalent security experience.
  • Possess a strong background in security architecture, application security, or cloud security.
  • Demonstrate understanding of AI/ML concepts and risks such as data poisoning, prompt injection, and model theft.
  • Experience with threat modeling methodologies like STRIDE and secure design principles.
  • Familiarity with AI regulatory frameworks including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, or ISO/IEC 42001.
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language such as Python, Swift, or Java.
  • Experience applying AI and LLMs for security automation like risk analysis and compliance validation.
  • Ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
