• Develop security standards and best practices that become reusable patterns across the enterprise.

• Research emerging AI security threats and translate findings into actionable guidance for solution architects and platform teams.

• Create architectural blueprints and decision frameworks that guide teams toward secure AI implementations.

• Map regulatory requirements (OSFI E-23, SR 11-7, EU AI Act) to architectural patterns and provide compliance guidance to implementation teams.

• Assess and recommend security technologies and tools that platform teams should adopt to build secure AI platforms.

• Collaborate with enterprise architecture teams to ensure AI security patterns integrate with broader enterprise standards.

• Present architectural guidance and recommendations to senior stakeholders and technical teams.

What do you need to succeed?

Must have:

• 5+ years of enterprise security architecture experience.

• Deep knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, Zero Trust) and cloud-native security technologies.

• Understanding of AI/ML systems architecture including LLMs, vector databases, and agentic AI patterns.

• Knowledge of financial services regulations (OSFI guidelines, SR 11-7, Model Risk Management) and AI-specific regulations (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF)

• Strong communication skills with ability to translate complex technical concepts into business language for executive audiences.

• Experience with threat modeling, risk assessment frameworks, and security analysis for emerging technologies.

• Understanding of authentication protocols (OAuth 2.1, OIDC, SAML, mTLS) and enterprise integration patterns.

Nice to have:

• Security certifications (CISSP, SABSA) or cloud security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer)

• Experience with AI security tools and adversarial testing methodologies.

• Previous experience implementing AI systems in regulated financial environments and algorithmic trading security requirements.

• Active participation in AI security research communities (OWASP AI Security, MITRE ATLAS) or published thought leadership.

• Multi-jurisdictional regulatory experience and cross-border data governance knowledge for AI systems.

• Experience with FINOS frameworks, SPIFFE/SPIRE for workload identity, or service mesh architectures for AI workloads.

• Previous experience in large financial services organizations.
