Lead AI Security Engineer

Overview
Mastercard is seeking a Lead AI Security Engineer to support a strategic AI engineering team focused on foundation model development and AI use case delivery. This role is responsible for the hands-on implementation of model security, AI product platform security and responsible-AI practices. Testing models for vulnerabilities, building the guardrails, access controls, API security, secure data usage and mitigations recommended by Mastercard's central security and AI governance teams, and ensuring those recommendations are actually built into the platform, not just documented. This is an execution-focused engineering role: Mastercard's dedicated security and governance teams already own policy, advisory guidance, and formal review. This role is the team's technical owner for turning that guidance into working, tested implementation.

• Abide by Mastercard’s security policies and practices;


• Ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the information being accessed;


• Report any suspected information security violation or breach, and


• Complete all periodic mandatory security trainings in accordance with Mastercard’s guidelines.
