[Akamai] - Senior Security Engineer

The Akamai Inference Cloud team is part of Akamai's Cloud Technology Group. They build AI platforms for efficient, compliant, and high-performing applications. The team owns the core inference engine, including runtime frameworks, model serving infrastructure, and execution environments processing every request globally.

• Relevant experience in application or infrastructure security engineering with focus on runtime protection, threat modeling, or penetration testing
• Knowledge of AI/ML inference architectures and security challenges such as model poisoning, prompt injection, and data leakage
• Experience with container security, supply chain hardening, and secure deployment in cloud-native environments
• Proficiency in Python, Go, or C++ with experience building security tooling or automated vulnerability detection
• Familiarity with security frameworks and compliance standards relevant to AI systems (e.g., OWASP ML Top 10, NIST AI RMF, FedRAMP)

• Designing and implementing runtime security controls that protect inference execution environments against adversarial inputs, model extraction, and unauthorized access
• Conducting threat modeling and security assessments of inference serving frameworks, model loading pipelines, and GPU execution environments
• Hardening model serving infrastructure including container isolation, runtime sandboxing, and supply chain integrity for model artifacts and dependencies
• Developing automated security testing and monitoring for inference workloads to detect anomalous behavior, data exfiltration, and prompt-based attacks
• Collaborating with platform and model intelligence teams to establish security standards across the full inference lifecycle from model ingestion to production serving
