Security Architect

Security Architect Location: Bengaluru Project Role : Security Architect Project Role Description : Define the cloud security framework and architecture, ensuring it meets the business requirements and performance goals. Document the implementation of the cloud security controls and transition to cloud security-managed operations. Must have skills : Secure AI Good to have skills : NA Minimum 5 year(s) of experience is required Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education Summary: Seeking a forward-thinking professional with an AI-first mindset to design, develop, and deploy enterprise-grade solutions using Generative and Agentic AI frameworks that drive innovation, efficiency, and business transformation. AI Red Team Specialist with 6–9 years of hands-on experience on adversarial testing of GenAI, LLM Application, AI agents and ML powered applications to identify real world abuse scenarios, data leakage risks, and control gaps. The role focuses on executing repeatable red team tests, validating guardrails, collecting technical evidence, and supporting remediation validation for production bound AI use cases. Roles & Responsibilities: Lead AI-driven solution design and delivery by applying GenAI and Agentic AI to address complex business challenges, automate processes, and integrate intelligent insights into enterprise workflows for measurable impact. Execute hands on adversarial testing of LLM based applications, including prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, and jailbreak scenarios. Perform security testing of RAG pipelines, prompt chains, and AI driven workflows to identify data leakage and unsafe output risks. Test agentic workflows for excessive permissions, unsafe tool usage, unauthorized actions, and inappropriate data access. Evaluate input/output guardrails such as content filtering, policy enforcement, grounding, and sensitive data masking Conduct API level testing of AI services and supporting components including gateways, tools/plugins, and vector database endpoints Perform adversarial testing for multimodal models (e.g., image/audio prompt injection where applicable). Simulate cross-agent and prompt-chaining attacks across multi-step workflows. Test long-term memory risks in agents (memory poisoning, context manipulation, persistence attacks). Evaluate model alignment and safety boundaries (policy evasion, harmful output generation, misuse scenarios). Reproduce issues consistently, collect technical evidence, and document practical, remediation ready findings Support remediation validation by retesting fixes and confirming control effectiveness and residual risk Contribute test cases, scripts, and repeatable scenarios to improve coverage and consistency of AI red team testing Collaborate with application, platform, and security teams to explain findings and validate mitigations Map attack scenarios to frameworks such as MITRE ATLAS and maintain traceability to OWASP LLM Top 10 risks Evaluate risks related to training data exposure, embedding leakage, insecure retrieval behavior, and unauthorized knowledge access Identify weaknesses in model-to-tool trust boundaries, including insecure function calling, unsafe parameter passing, and tool output manipulation Track and report testing metrics such as attack success rate, guardrail bypass rate, and coverage across AI systems Professional & Technical Skills: Strong grasp of Generative and Agentic AI, prompt engineering, and AI evaluation frameworks. Ability to align AI capabilities with business objectives while ensuring scalability, responsible use, and tangible value realization. The candidate should be AI Native. Hands on experience in red teaming, penetration testing, or vulnerability validation for applications or cloud services Experience with OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, and other AI security testing frameworks and attack taxonomies Good understanding of LLM and GenAI architectures including transformers, embeddings, fine tuning, inference flows, and RAG Hands on expertise in adversarial Responsible AI testing of GenAI/LLM systems, including detection of privacy and training data leakage, policy violating or unsafe outputs, transparency and explainability gaps, and robustness or safety failures under adversarial inputs Experience with fairness and bias testing techniques (e.g., subgroup analysis, disparate impact evaluation) Familiarity with explainability tools such as SHAP, LIME, or equivalent model interpretability approaches Experience testing GenAI specific risks such as prompt injection, hallucination abuse, data leakage, model misuse, and unauthorized access Strong Python scripting skills for PoC development, automation, and API testing Experience with AI security/red teaming tools such as Garak, Giskard, Promptfoo, Counterfit, DeepEval, or similar frameworks Familiarity with LLM deployment models (hosted APIs, self hosted models) and associated threat surfaces Ability to analyze prompts, inference responses, logs, and API behavior to identify anomalous or risky patterns Clear documentation skills with ability to convert technical findings into actionable remediation guidance Preferred certifications: AI Red Teaming Professional (AIRTP+), HTB Certified Offensive AI Expert (COAE), OSCP, CRTP & CISSP.
