AI Security Engineer
Stripe is seeking an AI Security Engineer to be the first hire on its AI security team. This role involves building security frameworks for AI infrastructure, designing defenses against AI-specific threats, and collaborating with engineering teams to ensure secure AI products.
AI is moving fast and Stripe is moving fast to adopt it. But we need to make sure we do all of this safely, and for most of these tools, enterprise-grade security isn't just available off the shelf. That's where the AI security team comes in—we're responsible for building and partnering to create the right security primitives to enable Stripe to move fast safely.
This is a team that works in the low-level components of our AI stack, so both infrastructure and security experience are pluses. This space is moving fast, so being comfortable with ambiguity and changes in priority is a must.
This is a foundational role—you'd be the first engineer on the team.
Engineers on this team do a mixture of partnering and advising with teams building AI infrastructure and products, and building security infrastructure primitives for AI.
One of our major focuses is building a security tooling layer that sits in the inference path, providing detection and protection against AI-specific threats like prompt injection, jailbreaks, and tool misuse.
