About the job AI / Security Specialist (Cyber security)
Our client is an AI security platform that acts as a security gateway between AI agents and databases. As companies increasingly allow AI agents to interact directly with systems and data, our client helps prevent sensitive data exposure, destructive queries, compliance violations and operational mistakes. The platform inspects and controls database interactions in real time through policy enforcement, threat detection and comprehensive audit logging. The product is already built and operational, and the business is now entering its next phase of platform hardening, product acceleration and go-to-market execution. Role Overview Our client is looking for someone with practical experience building, deploying or securing AI-powered security solutions. This role is focused on applied AI security rather than purely theoretical or academic work. Overall Candidate Profile Our client is looking for high-calibre, self-starting individuals who can operate with full ownership in a founder-led, early-stage environment. The successful candidates should be motivated, pragmatic, ambitious and comfortable working closely with the founder during an intensive build-and-launch phase.
