AWS Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) embeds AI engineers directly inside strategic enterprise customers to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems. We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer to embed with FDE delivery teams and own the security posture of production AI systems deployed in customer environments.
You conduct security reviews, perform threat modeling, build security automation, and ensure every FDE-delivered system meets both AWS and customer security standards.
You move at the speed of the FDE team: weeks, not quarters.
You don't just flag risks and hand them back. You find the vulnerability, design the fix, and ship the control.
This role combines the depth of a senior application security engineer with the urgency and customer-facing presence of forward-deployed engineering. You secure AI/ML pipelines end-to-end, build reusable security tooling that scales the FDE practice, and operate with a production mindset from day one of deployment.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen.
Key job responsibilities
- Conduct security design reviews, threat modeling, and architecture assessments for production AI systems (agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, orchestration layers, model integrations, customer data pipelines)
- Embed with FDE delivery teams in customer environments; assess infrastructure security posture, identify gaps, implement controls while maintaining delivery velocity
- Build security automation and tooling: scanning, testing, monitoring capabilities purpose-built for forward-deployed AI systems; create reusable security accelerators
- Implement controls for AI-specific threats: prompt injection, guardrail bypass, model endpoint hardening, training data protection, output filtering, data isolation
- Integrate security into FDE engineering workflows: CI/CD security gates, secrets management, dependency scanning, container security
- Triage and respond to sec
