About Us

The role

In this role, the focus will be on researching how to design secure architectures and systems around AI, rather than building or securing models directly. Close collaboration is expected with teams researching core GenAI security, as well as those examining broader socio-technical considerations and supporting capabilities.

Assessing how AI technologies can be integrated into both existing and emerging architectural models is a key aspect of the role. This includes working with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, Google and GCP, as well as areas like identity and access management, AI agents, and hybrid cloud environments.

This work provides an opportunity to further develop expertise as a security architect while contributing to a wider range of AI and broader architectural initiatives.

Your experience spans designing and building a range of systems and services, or providing expert technical advice, together with the ability to apply specialist security capabilities to real-world challenges. This is underpinned by a solid understanding of how technological vulnerabilities arise, how they are discovered and how they may be exploited. Experience in developing or supporting systems using modern technologies, including cloud services and AI, is also valued. Alongside this, a broad background across a variety of technologies is expected, complemented by a deeper expertise in an area of particular personal interest.

This is known as the Offer of an Interview.

To secure an interview for this role, candidates must meet the minimum criteria, which will be assessed at the CV sift stage:

3. Demonstrate how technological vulnerabilities occur, how they are discovered, and how they may be exploited.
