Senior Manager - AI security Architect Guardrail Engineering
Summary
Senior AI security architect/manager role in Chennai focused on guardrail engineering: red-teaming LLM apps (prompt injection, jailbreaks), securing RAG and agentic systems, and embedding AI security testing into CI/CD pipelines. Core stack: production Python plus tools like Garak, PyRIT, NeMo Guardrails, OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS.
- Hands-on development experience with the ability to write and ship production Python, with TypeScript or Go experience preferred.
- Direct experience integrating or extending at least two AI security tools such as Garak, PyRIT, LLM Guard, Presidio, NeMo Guardrails, Lakera Guard, or equivalent tools.
- Practical experience executing prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, and jailbreak attacks against real LLM applications in red team, research, or CTF environments.
- Experience with RAG pipeline security, including retrieval-based data exfiltration, embedding inversion, vector store poisoning, and related defense patterns.
- Experience with agentic system adversarial testing, including agent loop hijacking, tool abuse, and privilege escalation in multi-agent orchestration frameworks.
- Solid understanding of OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS, with the ability to map TTPs to concrete adversarial test cases.
- Experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins by building security pipeline stages.
- A strong sense of ownership, desire to create meaningful outcomes, and passion for work that serves a greater good for customers, communities, or global challenges.
- Experience developing SIEM detection logic for AI workloads, including Sigma rules, KQL, or SPL queries for AI-specific anomaly detection.
- IaC security experience, including writing or reviewing Terraform or Bicep modules with security controls encoded.
Mandatory Skills

Good to Have Skills- Experience developing AI-specific SIEM detection rules using Sigma, KQL, or SPL.
- Terraform or Bicep security modules.
- Hands-on knowledge of LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or Semantic Kernel.
- AI security research, publications, CVE disclosures, or conference presentations.
- Enterprise security engineering or red-team experience.
- The ability to communicate adversarial findings to senior stakeholders and collaborate with development teams to implement security mitigations.
