The posting

As an AI Security Engineer, you will work at the intersection of software engineering, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. You will design and build security tools, assess AI-powered applications for vulnerabilities, evaluate third-party and open-source AI technologies, and help establish secure development standards for AI systems.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys building solutions, solving complex technical problems, and exploring emerging security risks across technologies such as Generative AI, RAG, and agentic systems.

What You'll Do

  • Design, build, and implement tools for AI security testing, penetration testing, red teaming, and continuous vulnerability assessment.
  • Develop mock and test AI applications to evaluate internal and third-party AI security solutions.
  • Identify and assess security risks within AI-enabled applications and workflows.
  • Develop security requirements, standards, and best practices for securely building and deploying AI applications.
  • Evaluate third-party vendors, open-source tools, libraries, and AI technologies from a security perspective.
  • Integrate security testing and evaluation capabilities into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.
  • Build scalable security tooling and automation that can be adopted across different teams and environments.
  • Troubleshoot applications and solve complex engineering and security problems.
  • Partner with engineering teams, security professionals, customers, vendors, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver practical solutions.
  • Create clear technical documentation covering tools, features, security assessments, testing methodologies, and findings.

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years of software development experience building and supporting production applications.
  • Strong hands-on programming experience with Python.
  • Experience working with RESTful APIs and structured data formats such as JSON, XML, CSV, and HTML.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern software development practices.
  • Strong Linux and scripting skills.
  • Experience troubleshooting and supporting production applications.
  • Understanding of core application security concepts, including authentication, authorization, encryption, secrets management, and secure development practices.
  • Experience with Microsoft Azure, including foundational cloud networking and security concepts.
  • Understanding of modern AI application architectures, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), LLM-based applications, and agentic systems.
  • Ability to make sound engineering design decisions, solve technical problems, and continuously improve systems and tooling.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineers, security teams, leadership, customers, and vendors.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with penetration testing, application security testing, or security red teaming.
  • Hands-on experience assessing the security of Generative AI or LLM-based applications.
  • Familiarity with AI security risks such as prompt injection, data leakage, insecure tool usage, and adversarial testing.
  • Security certifications such as CISSP or equivalent.
  • Experience building or integrating automated security testing into CI/CD pipelines.

Why Join Capco

  • Deliver high-impact technology solutions for Tier 1 financial institutions.
  • Work in a collaborative, flat, and entrepreneurial consulting culture.
  • Access continuous learning, training, and industry certifications.
  • Be part of a team shaping the future of digital financial services.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
