This role exists to protect those systems and to make sure we can detect, contain, and recover when they are targeted. As a Staff AI Security Engineer, you build the tools, solutions, architectures, and frameworks that secure our sanctioned AI estate and defend against agentic threats across their full lifecycle, from prevention through response and recovery. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role on the Cyber Defense and Resiliency team, working with the Senior Manager, Technical Network Security. You spend most of your time building, and your work sets the technical direction that others follow.\nYou operate where emerging AI capability meets practical security engineering! On one side you build and operate the protective controls that keep our approved AI solutions safe to use. On the other you translate novel agentic attack patterns into working defenses, automated response actions, and reusable frameworks that the broader organization can adopt. You are comfortable moving fast in an area where the playbooks are still being written, and you bring rigor to a space that rewards it.\nResponsibilities:\nBuild and harden security tools that protect AI agents, model-backed services, and supporting infrastructure by securing system configurations, access, and integrations.\nOperate and mature AI guardrails, including in-line model protections, prompt-injection defenses, and data-loss prevention, in partnership with AI enablement and governance teams.\nDesign detection capabilities for agentic threats, including prompt injection, tool/function abuse, identity and credential misuse, data exfiltration, and agent memory or context manipulation.\nDevelop automated, machine-speed response and containment tools with tiered authority for reversible and irreversible actions.\nEnable rapid, scalable revocation of compromised agent access and credentials, while restoring agent configurations, tool registries, and supporting services to a known-good state.\nCreate and document reusable architectures, reference designs, and frameworks that enable consistent security and defense of agentic systems across the organization.\nPartner with detection and response, threat intelligence, platform engineering, and AI enablement teams to operationalize solutions and serve as a technical authority who strengthens organizational capabilities.\nEvaluate emerging AI security tools, techniques, and research through focused experimentation, bringing the strongest solutions into production.\nMinimum Qualifications:\n8+ years of experience in security engineering, detection and response, or related fields, with a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) and strong software engineering expertise in Python, APIs, data pipelines, and security platforms.\nHands-on experience securing AI and enterprise environments, including AI agents and LLM applications, tool/function calling, retrieval and memory, orchestration frameworks, Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, and the implementation of security controls such as AI guardrails, DLP, identity and access management, and application/endpoint protection.\nGood foundation in security operations and architecture, including detection and response engineering, automation, telemetry analysis, blast-radius assessment, containment, credential and secrets management, network and endpoint security, incident response, technical documentation, and the ability to drive complex initiatives from concept to production with minimal direction.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nDeep expertise in securing and hardening AI/agentic systems, including adversarial ML techniques, AI red teaming, and the implementation of production-grade AI security controls and guardrails.\nStrong knowledge of AI and cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATLAS, OWASP LLM Guidance, NIST Cybersecurity Framework) with experience aligning engineering practices to resilience, threat detection, incident response, and recovery objectives.\nProven enterprise-scale security experience across cloud and on-premises environments, complemented by contributions to the AI security community through open-source projects, research, thought leadership, and relevant security or cloud certifications.\nAs a world leader in the semiconductor industry, Micron is dedicated to your personal wellbeing and professional growth.
