ISE is hiring an Embedded Content Security Engineer to partner with the team at one of our large clients in the media and entertainment industry.  This role is particularly focused on AI and machine learning security, though responsibilities extend across the technology stack, including infrastructure and application security.

• Act as a subject matter expert on AI security, advising internal teams and external partners on best practices related to AI/ML technologies
• Stay ahead of emerging trends in AI threats, particularly those relevant to media and entertainment workflows
• Lead initiatives to build and enhance offensive testing capabilities for both AI and non-AI applications
• Conduct in-depth technical assessments of AI-enabled systems and deliver actionable insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Support broader security reviews, including infrastructure (on-prem and cloud), appli-cations, content editing/transfer platforms, and media workflows.
• Publish secure configuration guidance and work with vendors to assess and improve their content protection strategies.
• Dedicate 50%-100% of time per week to one large client
• Travel to the Los Angeles, CA area on a regular basis: once every one or two months

What you bring to the table:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred)
• 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, preferably with a focus on offensive security and technical assessments
• Demonstrated experience designing and securing infrastructure and cloud-native applications
• Proficiency with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), especially with respect to deploying and evaluating AI/ML solutions
• Ability to distill complex security findings for a non-technical audience
• Solid understanding of traditional infrastructure security technologies, including storage, VPNs, firewalls, directory services, and endpoint protection
• AI/ML certifications (e.g., AWS Certified ML, Azure AI Engineer) are a plus
• Information security certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, OSCP are also beneficial.
   

Salary:
$140K-$170K, depending on experience.

If you don't think you meet all the criteria above but are still interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box, and we're looking for someone excited to join the team.

• Relaxed and fun environment: ditch the suit and tie, sit or stand at your desk or find a sofa  

How you’ll learn at ISE:  

Everyone has a mentor, or two or three sometimes. We hold you and ourselves accountable for your advancement. You’ll learn directly from your mentor, your colleagues, resources vetted by the team, and at regular firetalk lunches by your peers – oh, and lunch is on us once a week in the office. You also have access to paid training, workshops, university courses, certification courses, and we’ll pay for the certs too. Want to learn a new skill that you aren’t currently using but want to? Great! Innovation is key–new technology is important.
