***This role is 5 days a week in Charlotte or Atlanta Office***

The Senior Associate AI Security Engineer is part of Truist’s AI Security Engineering function and is responsible for designing, engineering, deploying, and operating security controls for AI, ML, and Generative AI systems across cloud platforms.

The Senior Associate AI Security Engineer helps design, implement, test, and operate the controls that keep enterprise AI systems safe, governed, and production ready.

This role focuses on the security engineering foundations required for AI-enabled applications, agents, prompt-driven workflows, and tool-integrated automations operating in a regulated enterprise environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role within AI Security & Governance model.

The engineer supports guardrail implementation, prompt-injection defense, output filtering, monitoring, secure tool-use boundaries, logging, detection content, and deployment-readiness controls for AI-enabled systems.

The work spans design, testing, automation, detection engineering, and operational support across the AI delivery lifecycle.

Daily work includes implementing security controls for AI and agentic systems, validating configurations, supporting adversarial test preparation, building monitoring logic, partnering with engineering to harden prompt and tool behaviors, documenting controls, and ensuring AI solutions meet enterprise safety, traceability, and governance requirements before and after deployment.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time.

AI & Cloud Security Engineering

• Engineer and deploy security controls for AI/ML and Generative AI systems, including model‑level, data‑level, and platform‑level protections.

• Implement AI guardrails and safety controls (e.g., prompt injection defenses, content safety filters, policy enforcement, model access controls).

• Support secure AI platform onboarding for internal teams, ensuring alignment with Truist AI Security Standards and Review Processes.

• Perform technical security assessments of AI systems and cloud‑hosted AI services.

Infrastructure as Code & Automation

• Design and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and CloudFormation to deploy AI security controls consistently.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) for security tooling, guardrails, and configuration‑as‑code.

• Automate operational workflows using Python and scripting to reduce manual security operations.

Cloud Platform Security

• Engineer secure, scalable cloud environments supporting AI workloads across AWS and Azure.

• Implement and integrate cloud security tooling (e.g., Wiz) to provide visibility and control over AI assets.

• Secure containerized and orchestrated workloads supporting AI pipelines (ECS, EKS, Kubernetes).

Collaboration & Enablement

• Partner with AI platform teams, application engineers, cloud security, and governance stakeholders to embed security into AI delivery.

• Contribute to the evolution of enterprise AI security standards, patterns, and reference architectures.

• Support incident respo
