• Skilled in securing AI/ML workloads and data pipelines, ensuring the AI systems have controlled, auditable, and principle-based access to sensitive information
• Experienced with hybrid architectures integrating on-premises, legacy, and multi-cloud systems, maintaining security consistency and compliance
• Knowledgeable in security standards and frameworks, such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, CIS Benchmarks, GDPR, and NHS DSPT
• Familiar with AI security and data governance principles, including data minimisation, secure model access, and AI transparency requirements
• Experienced in intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), vulnerability scanning, endpoint protection, and security incident management
• Skilled in designing network and application security controls, including WAFs, firewalls, zero-trust models, and identity federation mechanisms
• Able to perform threat modelling, risk assessments, and security posture reviews for cloud-native and AI-based architectures
• Competent in automating security controls and monitoring using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, AWS Config, or Azure Policy
• Confident in data classification, encryption key management, and compliance auditing for highly sensitive or personal data (including health data)
• Experienced in presenting and defending architectural decisions to government security panels, assurance boards, and technical governance groups
• A strong communicator and collaborator, able to engage effectively with stakeholders, engineers, and external security authorities
• Possessing a security or cloud certification (e.g. CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, or Azure Security Engineer) — highly desirable

AND YOU WANT TO

• Design and lead the implementation of secure architectures for AI-enabled digital services that manage sensitive personal and medical information
