Together, we bring diverse perspectives and professional backgrounds to help shape the future of healthcare through innovation and technology.\nThis is your opportunity to explore a world of possibilities across areas such as Data & Analytics, Digital, Technology & Innovation, Cybersecurity, R&D Operations, Global Distribution, Finance, Regulatory Affairs, General & Administrative, Human Resources, and many more.\nLocated in the heart of Lisbon, our AMGEN office fosters a culture of innovation, excellence, and purpose. Come thrive with us at AMGEN, supporting our mission To Serve Patients.\nWhat we do at AMGEN matters in people's lives.\nAI SECURITY ENGINEER\nAt Amgen, Technology isn’t just a support function-it’s a catalyst for discovery, transformation, and real-world impact. Here, your ideas fuel innovation that improves and saves the lives of patients in need of our medicines. Are you ready to do meaningful work that matters?\nLIVE\nWhat you will do\nAs an AI Security Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data, and biotechnology. You will help build and operate the security capabilities that enable Amgen teams to develop and deploy AI safely at enterprise scale.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role. You will design, build, automate, test, and integrate security controls across AI and Machine Learning (AI/ML) platforms, applications, models, agents, and MLOps/LLMOps pipelines. You will partner closely with AI engineers, data scientists, platform engineers, application security teams, cloud security teams, and other cybersecurity functions.\nYou will apply security throughout the AI lifecycle-from data ingestion and model development through deployment, inference, monitoring, and retirement-and help Amgen address emerging security challenges associated with generative AI, large language models, AI agents, and traditional machine learning.\nLet’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will:\nDesign and implement AI security controls for AI/ML applications, platforms, models, APIs, agents, and supporting infrastructure.\nDeploy security tooling and automation, primarily using AWS cloud infrastructure and APIs, to integrate AI security testing and controls into engineering workflows.\nIntegrate security into MLOps, LLMOps, DevSecOps, and CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated security validation throughout the AI development lifecycle.\nThreat model AI systems and applications, translating identified risks into practical engineering requirements, mitigations, tests, and security controls.\n Secure generative AI and agentic AI systems, including model endpoints, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, tools, agent workflows, identity boundaries, and external integrations.\nEvaluate and integrate AI security technologies, including capabilities for AI runtime protection, model and application testing, data protection, observability, and AI security posture management.\nImplement security controls for cloud-based AI platforms and services across enterprise cloud environments.\nSecure containerized AI workloads running on technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, including workload identity, secrets management, network controls, runtime security, and policy enforcement.\nImplement infrastructure and security controls as code using technologies such as Terraform, cloud-native infrastructure-as-code tooling, or similar technologies.\nPartner with AI and platform engineering teams to investigate threats, develop mitigations, and drive identified security issues through remediation.\nSupport security reviews of AI systems and provide actionable engineering recommendations and practical solutions.\nDeploy monitoring and detection capabilities for security-relevant AI activity, misuse patterns, anomalous behavior, and emerging attack techniques.\nBuild AI security standards and technical guidance, translating security, regulatory, and risk requirements into implementable technical controls.\nShare technical knowledge across cybersecurity and engineering teams and contribute to the continued development of Amgen’s AI security capabilities.\nDomestic and international travel up to 10%.\nWIN\nWhat we expect of you\nWe are all different, yet we all use our unique contributions to serve patients.
