AI Security Lead - InfoSec Engineering 12 - month Contract - London
(Hybrid - 3 days per week in office)
AI is moving fast, most organisations are not securing it properly.
This is a great opportunity to step in as an AI Security Lead and own how Application Security is adapted for AI across a large-scale, modern engineering environment.
If you come from a strong AppSec/DevSecOps background and want to shape the future of secure AI-enabled software development, this role gives you the platform to do it.
What you will be doing:
- Driving the evolution of the SSDLC for AI-first engineering
- Building security controls into CI/CD, pipelines and developer tooling
- Defining secure patterns for APIs, AI integrations and modern platforms
- Leading on threat modelling, code assurance and secure design at scale
- Putting guardrails around AI usage, data protection and model risk
- Embedding AppSec into AI development (LLMs, AI-generated code, agentic systems)
What you will bring:
- Proven Application Security experience in cloud-native environments
- Deep DevSecOps/CI/CD/secure coding expertise
- Experience embedding security into engineering at scale (not just advisory)
- Strong grasp of modern app threats (OWASP, API security, etc.)
- Exposure to AI/LLMs or a clear track record adapting to emerging tech
- Ability to influence senior engineers, architects and leadership
Why this role?
High-impact: Shape AI security across an entire organisation
Greenfield influence: Define standards, not just follow them
Cutting-edge: Work at the intersection of AppSec + AI
