The AI/ML Security Engineer will help develop frameworks, tools, and infrastructure to evaluate, secure, monitor, and govern Machine Learning, Generative AI, and Agentic AI solutions at Workiva. A key focus of this role is identifying and remediating AI security threats, particularly prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, adversarial inputs, and unsafe AI/agent behaviour. The engineer will work closely with AI/ML, security, and product teams to build automated security evaluations, establish security metrics, investigate vulnerabilities, and implement effective remediation and guardrails across the AI/ML lifecycle. This role requires strong programming skills, a solid foundation in software engineering, and hands-on experience with AI/ML security testing and adversarial techniques.

Key Responsibilities:

* Design and develop frameworks for evaluating the security, safety, accuracy, reliability, and performance of ML/GenAI solutions

* Identify, reproduce, and remediate prompt injection and indirect prompt injection vulnerabilities

* Develop automated security and adversarial tests for LLMs and Agentic AI, including jailbreaks, data leakage, and unsafe tool use

* Build and maintain metrics, monitoring, and evaluation capabilities for AI/ML applications

* Collaborate with engineering and security teams to develop AI threat models, security controls, and guardrails

* Investigate vulnerabilities and unexpected behavior across LLMs, AI agents, APIs, and supporting infrastructure

* Contribute to AI/ML infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, APIs, and automation

* Write scalable, secure, and maintainable code, primarily using Python

* Develop unit, integration, functional, and security tests
