Responsibilities
Partner with AI product teams during the design phase to review architecture
Participate in (and eventually lead) threat modeling sessions for new ML features
Work with QA and Engineering to validate that security requirements (like authZ scopes or encryption) are actually implemented correctly in the final code
Write Python or Go libraries that make doing the "secure thing" the "easy thing" for data scientists
Build automation that scans our Kubeflow/MLflow clusters to verify they meet security baselines
Submit Pull Requests directly to ML repositories to fix vulnerabilities or harden logic, rather than just filing tickets for others to fix
Help write the "Gold Standard" documentation for how to deploy a secure model at Rivian
Assist in triaging findings from bug bounties or internal scans related to our AI surface, and track the "Time to Remediate" to help us understand our maturity gaps
Spend time researching new AI attacks (like Model Inversion) and prototype defenses to see if they work in our environment
Qualification
Required
2+ years of software engineering experience
Strong Engineering Foundation: You write clean, tested code (Python preferred) and understand the SDLC

Understanding of concepts like 'Least Privilege,' 'Defense in Depth,' and 'Input Validation.'
Communication Skills: You can explain a security risk to a Data Scientist without using jargon
Understanding of AI/ML: You understand the basic components of an AI system (Data Lake -> Training -> Model Registry -> Inference API) and where security fits into that flow
Preferred
Experience with AWS or GCP cloud security architecture
Experience using or securing Vector Databases or LLM orchestrators (like LangChain)
