AI Architect (AI for Security)

About the Position

AI Architect (AI for Security)

We are seeking an AI Architect (AI for Security) to join our team in Romania, specializing in AI-driven offensive security for iGaming.

Responsibilities

• Join joint working sessions with the client's hands-on security engineers; challenge and harden their AI-driven offensive pipeline end-to-end (recon → verification → AI-planned exploitation → sandboxed execution).
• Design and refine the exploitation agent: how the LLM plans attack paths, selects and validates exploits, and orchestrates parallel sandboxes safely and reproducibly.
• Optimise cost-per-finding of the existing exploitation pipeline: benchmark local / sovereign open models (Kimi, GPT-OSS, MiniMax, DeepSeek) against frontier models for the recon, exploitation and analysis loops; quantify accuracy / latency / cost trade-offs and recommend hardware sizing.
• Shape the runtime anomaly-detection layer: define which intrusion / privilege-escalation precursor patterns are worth collecting (signal over raw-log volume), and design the missing pieces - automated response (kill a malicious process / disable an account on detection) and triage routing by criticality.
• Stand up a quick-win PoC to anchor the engagement - e.g. an automated dependency / PR vulnerability-scanning pass, or a head-to-head local-vs-frontier benchmark of the exploitation agent.
• Turn findings into a defensible technical proposal and roadmap; present methodology and trade-offs to a technical CISO / CTO audience.
• Keep all sensitive work build-time and in-perimeter - no pushing intellectual property, configs, or recon-enabling data to external model providers; respect regulated-gaming certification constraints (no uncertified AI in runtime-critical paths).

Requirements

• Hands-on offensive security: vulnerability research, exploit development and chaining, web + network penetration testing; fluent with Nmap, Nuclei, Katana, Acunetix, Metasploit, Burp Suite and Kali tooling.
• Building and operating LLM agents for security work: agentic tool-use, sandbox orchestration, prompt / flow design for recon and exploitation, guardrails for autonomous exploitation.
• Local / self-hosted open models: running and tuning open weights (Kimi, GPT-OSS, MiniMax, DeepSeek) on rented or private GPU; quantization, throughput and the agentic-performance trade-offs that matter for security automation.
• Exploit & threat intelligence: sourcing and validating exploits (including from underground / forum sources), CVE triage, exploitability and severity assessment.
• Runtime detection: designing intrusion / privilege-escalation pattern detection, anomaly detection, and automated response.
• Cloud security (AWS preferred): sandboxing, container isolation, secure inference hosting.
• Writes their own code (Python + shell) and can explain methodology to non-security executives.

Nice to Have

• Modern offensive-security methodology and the current exploit / zero-day landscape.
• Strengths and limits of frontier vs. local LLMs for security automation (agentic tool-use, reasoning depth, cost-per-task).
• Data-egress / sovereignty constraints: why IP and recon-enabling data must stay in-perimeter; private-cloud (AWS Bedrock) vs. rented-hardware trade-offs.
• iGaming / regulated-infrastructure context and certification constraints (build-time vs. run-time AI) - strong plus.
• Defensive side - SIEM, anomaly detection, incident response - plus.
