Security Engineer, AI Security

EA Security is seeking an offensive-minded Security Engineer to help secure AI-enabled systems, agents, and LLM-integrated workflows across EA’s games, services, and enterprise platforms. This role focuses on identifying real-world security risks in both commercial and internally developed AI platforms, and on building scalable testing, automation, and AI-driven security agents that extend the team’s impact.

You will work closely with Application Security and Red Team engineers, applying an attacker’s mindset to AI systems while building scalable security testing, automation, and guardrails that meaningfully reduce risk. This role is hands‑on, technical, and impact-driven, with an emphasis on practical exploitation, adversarial testing, and scalable security outcomes.

This role is ideal for security engineers who enjoy breaking complex systems, reasoning about abuse paths, and turning deep technical findings into scalable and durable AI security improvements.

This position reports into the Application Security and Red Teaming organization.

Responsibilities

Perform security testing and reviews of AI-enabled applications, agents, and workflows, including architecture, design, and implementation analysis

Identify and validate vulnerabilities in LLM-based systems such as data leakage, insecure tool use, authentication gaps, and abuse paths

Evaluate AI systems for prompt injection (direct, indirect, conditional, and persistent), including risks introduced through retrieval-augmented generation and agentic workflows

Conduct adversarial testing of commercial AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot, Google AgentSpace, and OpenAI ChatGPT, as well as internally developed AI systems

Assess agentic and multi-agent workflows for privilege escalation, unsafe action chaining, cross-agent abuse, and unintended side effects

Design, build, and operate AI-driven security agents and automation, including multi-agent workflows, that scale application security, red teaming, and AI security efforts

Develop tooling, test harnesses, and repeatable validation frameworks to expand AI security coverage across teams

Partner with application engineers to translate findings into actionable mitigations, secure design patterns, and engineering guidance

Collaborate with Red Team and AppSec engineers to integrate AI attack techniques and agent-based testing into broader offensive security activities

Contribute reusable insights, documentation, and guardrails that help teams adopt AI securely and reduce future systemic risk

Required Qualifications

Strong background in application security, offensive security, or a combination of both

Hands‑on experience identifying and exploiting security weaknesses in modern applications and services

Experience testing or securing AI-enabled systems, LLM integrations, or agent-based workflows

Ability to reason about attacker misuse, abuse scenarios, and emergent behavior beyond traditional vulnerability classes

Experience building automation, tooling, or security agents using languages such as Python, Go, JavaScript, or similar

Familiarity with source code review and security tooling such as CodeQL, Semgrep, or equivalent

Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work directly with engineers and security partners

Preferred Qualifications

Experience assessing commercial AI platforms or enterprise AI services

Familiarity with agent orchestration, tool calling, function execution, or multi‑agent systems

Experience with traditional red team tooling or adversary simulation techniques

Exposure to detection engineering, incident response, or threat intelligence workflows

Experience turning novel AI security findings into scalable guidance rather than one‑off fixes
