Ampcus Inc. is a certified global provider of a broad range of Technology and Business consulting services. We are in search of a highly motivated candidate to join our talented Team. Job Title: AI Cyber Engineer (Enterprise Security & Autonomous Remediation) Job Location: Washington, DC Position Overview The AI Cyber Engineer is a senior technical role responsible for implementing and operating AI‑driven cybersecurity capabilities to continuously detect, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities across the enterprise IT environment. This role combines cybersecurity engineering, artificial intelligence, software development, and automation to move beyond traditional reactive security into proactive and autonomous remediation. The engineer will leverage advanced AI models, agentic frameworks, and security tooling to: Continuously Client vulnerabilities across infrastructure, applications, and AI systems. Generate prioritized remediation strategies. Automatically develop fixes, where feasible (e.g., patches, configuration updates, code changes). Integrate findings into enterprise DevSecOps and SOC workflows. Key Responsibilities: AI-Driven Vulnerability Detection & Analysis Design and deploy AI‑powered vulnerability discovery pipelines across: Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) On‑prem infrastructure Applications, APIs, and microservices AI/LLM systems and data pipelines. Leverage AI techniques for: Pattern recognition in logs, telemetry, and attack signals Behavioral anomaly detection Identification of zero‑day and emerging threats. Perform AI‑assisted attack simulation and adversarial testing to proactively identify weaknesses. Intelligent Risk Prioritization Leverage and build‑on AI models and scoring mechanisms to: Correlate vulnerabilities with threat intelligence, exploitability, and business impact Reduce false positives and alert fatigue. Implement contextual risk evaluation incorporating: Asset criticality Identity exposure (human and non‑human identities) Data sensitivity and regulatory impact. Align prioritization with frameworks such as:

NIST CSF/AI RMF

MITRE Telecommunication&CK/ATLAS. Automated & Assisted Remediation Develop and maintain: Automated patching pipelines Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) remediation templates Secure code transformation scripts (e.g., Python, Java, Terraform). Build AI agents to perform repeatable, permissible tasks. Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure safe deployment of automated remediation. Secure AI & Application Ecosystem Engineering Secure enterprise AI systems, including: LLMs, RAG pipelines, AI agents, and copilots. Implement protections against: Prompt injection, data exfiltration, adversarial attacks, AI model integrity risk, and more. Build and enforce: AI guardrails and runtime controls Secure model deployment pipelines Data protection and practices. DevSecOps & Continuous Security Integration Embed AI‑driven security controls across: CI/CD pipelines and MLOps workflows. Implement: Shift‑left security scanning and validation Automated policy enforcement Continuous compliance monitoring. Ensure vulnerabilities are automatically: Detected pre‑production and remediated (or blocked) before release. Cross‑Functional Collaboration Work closely with: AI Program teams Cloud Platform and Cloud Engineering teams Software engineering teams Security operations and GRC teams Translate security findings into developer‑friendly remediation actions Provide guidance on secure coding and vulnerability remediation.
