About the Client:
Join one of Egypt’s premier financial institutions, renowned for its extensive suite of banking services, including Institutional Banking, Personal Banking, and Islamic Banking. With a global presence through over 50 branches and correspondents, we serve a diverse and dynamic clientele. As we embark on a groundbreaking digital transformation journey, we are committed to leveraging the latest technologies to establish a state-of-the-art data architecture that will redefine our performance and service delivery.
About the Role
As a leading financial institution in Egypt, we are heavily investing in localized AI and Machine Learning capabilities to drive innovation while maintaining total data sovereignty. Our Cybersecurity Department is looking for a highly skilled AI Cybersecurity Engineer with a deeply offensive mindset.
Operating entirely within our secure, high-performance on-premises infrastructure , you will act as an internal adversary. Your mission is to proactively threat model, simulate advanced cyberattacks (Red Teaming), and manage algorithmic risks to detect and neutralize vulnerabilities in our AI systems before they can be exploited.
Key Responsibilities
Predictive AI Threat Modeling: Lead advanced threat-modeling exercises across the bank’s localized AI/ML pipelines, data repositories, and training environments. Anticipate sophisticated attacker behaviors to design preemptive security guardrails before models are moved to production.
AI Red Teaming & Offensive Simulations: Conduct targeted offensive operations and ethical hacking against our on-premises AI infrastructure. Simulate real-world adversarial attacks, including data poisoning, model inversion, membership inference, evasion attacks, and prompt injection .
Framework Mapping with MITRE ATLAS: Implement and operationalize the MITRE ATLAS (Adversarial Threat Landscape for Artificial-Intelligence Systems) framework. Map identified vulnerabilities to ATLAS tactics and techniques to build a robust, AI-specific defensive matrix aligned with traditional MITRE ATT&CK.
On-Premises Infrastructure Hardening: Assess and secure the physical and virtual infrastructure hosting our AI workloads, including bare-metal GPU clusters, local containerized environments (Kubernetes/OpenShift), and private data registries, ensuring strict isolation from external threats.
Proactive Risk Management & Early Detection: Collaborate with the SOC and data engineering teams to build predictive detection use-cases and custom alerts. Identify the early warning signs of an AI-targeted attack or data exfiltration attempt before malicious actors can compromise model integrity.
