Job description

At Globant, we are working to make the world a better place, one step at a time. We enhance business development and enterprise solutions to prepare them for a digital future. With a diverse and talented team present in more than 30 countries, we are strategic partners to leading global companies in their business process transformation.

As Lead AI Cyber Security Engineer, you will own the end-to-end security posture of the AI layer. You’ll engineer guardrails, red-team live agents, design zero-trust controls, and defend our architecture directly to the client’s CISO and regional regulators (CBUAE).

• AI & LLM Security: Engineer prompt injection defences, output schema validation, jailbreak resistance, and deterministic guardrails around tool execution.

  
  

• Red Teaming & Threat Modelling: Lead adversarial testing (indirect prompt injection, tool abuse, context exfiltration) and automate attack suites into CI/CD pipelines.

  
  

• Zero-Trust Architecture: Design secure AI-to-API communication (mTLS, OAuth 2.0/OIDC) to ensure AI reasoning can never touch core ledgers without explicit policy checks.

  
  

• Compliance & Auditability: Architect Model Risk Management (MRM) controls, CBUAE compliance mechanisms, and tamper-evident audit trails for every agent action.

  
  

• DevSecOps & Leadership: Enforce security gates in CI/CD, conduct pod-level design reviews, and present security postures to executive client stakeholders.

  
  

• 8+ years of hands-on Security Engineering experience (Zero-Trust, API security, DevSecOps, Cloud/K8s security).

  
  

• 2+ years securing LLM or agentic systems in production.

  
  

• Hands-on Red Teaming: Strong practical experience with OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, jailbreaks, and guardrail engineering.

  
  

• Fintech / Banking Background: Experience with PCI-DSS, transactional logging, and banking regulatory frameworks (CBUAE/DFSA preferred).

  
  

• Technical Degree: Computer Science, Cyber Security, or equivalent. Relevant certs (CISSP, CCSP, OSCP) or published AI security research are a plus.
