Ford is looking for a Senior Cybersecurity Platform Engineer to design, implement, automate, and maintain the security platforms that support our enterprise cybersecurity operations. You'll play a key role in integrating our security tools, improving threat detection, ensuring platform reliability, and enabling our security teams through scalable infrastructure and automation. This role includes a significant focus on maturing our AI Security platform.
What You'll Do
- Design, implement, maintain, and improve security platforms and tools that protect the organization’s IT infrastructure.
- Optimize security technologies to detect, prevent, and respond to security threats in real time.
- Collaborate with engineering, IT, and security operations teams to deploy and support enterprise cybersecurity platforms and solutions.
- Secure in-house and public AI and ML/DL systems against cyber threats, adversarial attacks, and data breaches across the solution lifecycle.
- Design and implement robust security platforms supporting enterprise security needs (e.g., unified telemetry pipeline like BindPlane, SIEM like QRadar, SecOps, and AI security).
- Define and maintain guidelines and controls to secure AI systems, including data protection, model security, and compliance requirements.
- Apply established frameworks as references/baselines (e.g., Google Secure AI Framework (SAIF), NIST AI Risk Management Framework, Framework for AI Cybersecurity Practices (FAICP)).
- Identify, assess, and mitigate AI-specific security risks (adversarial attacks, data poisoning, model inversion, unauthorized access).
- Conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing on AI models and data pipelines.
- Ensure AI data is encrypted, anonymized, and securely stored.
- Implement access controls for sensitive AI data and models (RBAC, ABAC, Zero Trust).
- Protect AI models from tampering, theft, and adversarial manipulation during training and deployment.
- Monitor and log AI system activity for anomalies and security incidents.
- Develop and enforce policies to align AI systems with industry regulations, ethical standards, and organizational governance requirements.
- Develop automated workflows and scripts to enhance security platform functionality and scalability, improving operational efficiency.
- Manage timely patching and upgrades to security tools and systems to reduce downtime and minimize vulnerabilities.
- Configure alerting systems for security threats and enable real-time monitoring for observability.
