As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, the security landscape is becoming increasingly complex-from model leakage and dataset poisoning to unauthorized inference and cross-border data governance. Organizations investing in AI infrastructure don't just require performance-they require trust.
In this role, you will serve as the AI security domain expert within our technical pre-sales and go-to-market team. Your primary responsibility is to help customers architect and validate secure AI infrastructure-spanning deployment models, data pipelines, access control, and regulatory compliance across regions.
This role extends beyond technical execution. You'll shape customer cyber risk postures, support board-level security strategy, and contribute to security narratives for regulatory reviews, PE/VC due diligence, and long-term planning.
You'll work across a diverse set of stakeholders-including OEMs, hyperscalers, legal/compliance leaders, and enterprise CISOs-to bridge technical risk with business clarity. Your insights will influence AI reference architectures, global security playbooks, and the design of sovereign-ready infrastructure at scale.
**Key Responsibilities**
+ Lead pre-sales engagements to define secure, compliant AI infrastructure for GSP customers.

+ Define strategies for encryption, access control, model protection, and multitenancy isolation.
+ Embed security into reference architectures alongside OEMs, cloud providers, and internal delivery teams.
+ Advise on regulatory alignment with GDPR, NIS2, UAE privacy law, and the EU AI Act.
+ Support executive briefings, investment cases, and audit readiness materials for PE/VC boards and CISOs.
+ Create reusable SOW content, security patterns, and compliance templates for repeatable deployments.
+ Stay current on emerging threats: adversarial ML, prompt injection, data poisoning, and LLM misuse.
+ Serve as a trusted advisor to customer CISOs, CTOs, and compliance leaders on secure AI architecture.
**You Should Have**
+ 10+ years in security architecture, ideally with experience in AI, HPC, or large-scale data platforms.
+ Deep expertise in IAM, encryption, isolation strategies, audit logging, and network security in hybrid environments.
+ Deep expertise with Security frameworks such as NIST, CIS.
+ Strong understanding of AI-specific security risks: model theft, data leakage, dataset poisoning, and LLM risks.
+ Experience working with cloud platforms (ex: AWS, Microsoft, GCP), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Run:AI, etc.) and multi-tenancy; including hard and soft partitioning.
+ Experience leading technical workshops with customers staff up to an including C-level.
+ Proven ability to work across engineering, legal, and business teams to define and communicate risk postures.
+ Experience building security models, compliance plans, or technical controls documentation.
+ Deep expertise with SaaS/AI (TSA, ANSSI, ENISA) regulatory requirements including GDPR, DORA, EU AI Act, & UAE compliance frameworks.
+ Demonstrated ability to contribute to CxO discussions, investment cases, and board-level strategy.
+ Strong presentation and influence skills-able to guide both technical teams and senior leadership.
