Senior AI Security Content Engineer (Fixed Term)

TryHackMe is the fastest-growing online cyber security training platform. Our mission is to make learning and teaching cyber security easier by providing gamified security exercises and challenges. Having only been around for handful of years, we've grown to more than 7+ million community members and our growth isn't slowing down!
The Role
We're looking for a Senior AI Security Content Engineer to help us design and develop cutting-edge AI-focused cybersecurity training content. This is a senior role that demands deep, hands-on cybersecurity expertise combined with strong AI/ML knowledge — you'll be creating advanced learning experiences that teach our users how to secure, assess, and defend AI/ML systems in an era where artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the security landscape.
In this role, you'll research and develop immersive training content covering AI system vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and defensive strategies. From prompt injection and model manipulation to supply chain attacks and data poisoning, you'll transform complex AI security concepts into engaging, practical labs that help millions of learners build essential skills for the future of cybersecurity.
The ideal candidate brings proven, hands-on cybersecurity experience — you've worked in the trenches of blue team operations, security engineering, incident response or in the realms of offensive security or cloud security — and you have a strong working knowledge of AI/ML systems, their architectures, and the unique security challenges that arise when integrating them into existing organisational infrastructure. You understand both the cybersecurity fundamentals and the AI landscape well enough to teach others how to defend at the intersection of the two.
Technical Skills & Experience
To be considered for this opportunity, you must have at least 5+ years of hands-on cybersecurity experience in roles such as:
Security Engineer, SOC Analyst, Threat Hunter, Incident Responder, or Penetration Tester
In addition, you must demonstrate practical knowledge of AI/ML systems and their security implications, gained through professional experience, personal projects, or research — including hands-on exposure to AI model deployment, MLOps pipelines, or cloud-based AI environments (Azure, AWS, GCP).
Mandatory Cybersecurity Skills — You Must Be Able To Demonstrate
Deep, hands-on experience with defensive/offensive security fundamentals: threat detection, incident response, log analysis, digital forensics, security monitoring, penetration testing, etc;
Proficiency with core security tools and frameworks (SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, MITRE ATT&CK, or similar)
Strong understanding of network security, endpoint security, and cloud security principles
Proven ability to investigate, analyse, and respond to real-world security incidents
Mandatory AI/ML Security Skills — You Must Also Demonstrate
Solid grasp of AI/ML system architectures, data pipelines, and attack surfaces (model poisoning, data leakage, prompt injection, adversarial attacks, etc.)
Ability to analyse and articulate AI system vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and available mitigation strategies
Familiarity with AI/LLM security frameworks, such as:
OWASP Top 10 for LLMs
MITRE ATLAS
NIST AI Risk Management Framework
AI/ML Supply Chain Security (e.g., model provenance, dataset integrity)
Hands-on skills with AI security tools (such as Garak, MLflow) and Python ML/AI libraries (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face, etc.)
Hands-on experience with creating AI agents - especially in the cyber field!
You Should Also Bring
Excellent technical writing and communication skills, capable of translating complex AI security concepts into engaging, digestible learning material
Ability to research and synthesise emerging AI security threats and defensive techniques
Understanding of AI governance, model interpretability, and security best practices
Job Responsibilities
Research, design, and develop comprehensive AI security labs for TryHackMe, creating realistic attack/defence scenarios (prompt injection, model exfiltration, adversarial inputs, supply chain attacks) and immersive learning experiences that cover AI vulnerabilities, attack vectors, impacts, and mitigation strategies
Draw on your hands-on cybersecurity background to ensure all AI security content is grounded in real-world defensive practices and threat landscapes
Collaborate with the Content Engineering Team to align AI-focused content with TryHackMe's learning pathways
Translate cutting-edge AI security research and real-world incidents into interactive, practical learning experiences
Stay current with the evolving AI threat landscape and update content to reflect new attack techniques and defences
Contribute to the content roadmap for AI and emerging technology tracks
Serve as a subject matter expert across both cybersecurity and AI security, mentoring other content engineers and elevating the quality and accuracy of content across the team
Excel at sharing AI security expertise (and any other relevant expertise) with team members, translating technical research into actionable insights
Preferred Skills (nice-to-have)
Experience building or evaluating LLM-based applications (e.g., LangChain, OpenAI API, Azure OpenAI, or Hugging Face)
Familiarity with AI red teaming and adversarial testing
Programming experience with Python, PowerShell, or Bash
Experience with AI model testing, validation, or security assessment
Understanding of MLOps security and CI/CD pipeline hardening
Background in CTF challenge design or gamified cybersecurity content
Previous experience creating technical training content or educational materials
Security Certifications / AI certifications are a nice-to-have
Experience working with or defending cloud-native AI infrastructure (e.g., Azure AI, AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI)
