Senior Security Engineer, Corporate AI Security (Hybrid)

Hi, Future Homie! At Homebase, you will join a bold, fast‑moving team obsessed with helping small businesses thrive. We build with empathy, act with urgency, and take big swings that drive real‑world impact.

We’re not just building an app—we’re building unstoppable teams. This is a ground‑floor opportunity to define and own AI security architecture.

Your impact starts here.

• Design and implement security standards for internal AI tools, APIs, model integrations, and AI lifecycle management that enable safe, scalable AI adoption across Homebase.
• Establish governance frameworks for internal AI agent deployment, training data handling, and inference operations that balance security rigor with business enablement.
• Monitor and secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) server deployments with continuous verification and audit trails, establishing a zero‑trust architecture for internal AI interactions.
• Architect identity and access management for AI agents, automation tools, and machine‑to‑machine services, implementing least privilege principles for non‑human identities.
• Implement DLP and policy enforcement for internal and third‑party AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to safeguard sensitive data during prompt exchanges and model training.
• Build privacy‑preserving data handling frameworks to prevent exfiltration and intellectual property exposure through AI pipelines.
• Partner with each internal security domain (App Sec, Detection, GRC, and Infrastructure Security) to identify repetitive patterns and manual tasks, then increase team velocity by collaborating to automate security processes using AI and modern tooling.
• Drive alignment with emerging AI governance regulations, ensuring SOC 2 readiness for AI‑enabled systems.
• Evaluate new AI tools through comprehensive risk assessment and procurement review, streamlining secure adoption processes.
• Partner with AI enablement, data science, IT, and all of the internal security team members to enable secure AI enablement within Homebase.
• Automate security processes and provide guidance on AI risks to technical and business stakeholders, helping every team adopt AI safely and confidently.

• 5+ years of experience in security engineering, with 2+ years focused on AI/ML security, MCP, and automation in the security context.
• Deep understanding of AI/ML architectures, including LLMs, model deployment pipelines, and API integrations.
• Hands‑on experience with identity and access management (IAM), particularly for machine‑to‑machine authentication and non‑human identities.
• Strong knowledge of data protection principles, including DLP, encryption, and privacy‑preserving technologies.
• Experience implementing zero‑trust architecture and least privilege access controls.
• Familiarity with AI security frameworks such as NIST AI RMF, OWASP ML Top 10, or MITRE ATLAS.
• Proficiency in security automation using Python, Ruby, or similar languages.
• Strategic thinker who can balance security rigor with business enablement, with strong communication skills to explain complex AI security concepts to technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Self‑starter who thrives in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments with a passion for emerging technologies and AI innovation.
• Collaborative mindset with experience influencing cross‑functional teams and enabling secure innovation.
• Influences internal employees and teams on secure AI practices, and the secure path should be the easy path.
• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar AI agent frameworks.
• Experience building security controls for generative AI tools in corporate environments (preferred).
• Experience with security research and contributing to the AI security community (preferred).

• Be Customer‑Obsessed – Solve problems with empathy and creativity.
• Move Fast, Learn Fast – Experiment, take action, and grow every day.
• Own Your Impact – Think big, focus on what matters, and make decisions you stand behind.
• Master Your Craft – Excellence fuels impact—show up, step up, and make your mark.
• Win Together – Put goals over roles, lead with trust, and connect to our mission and each other.
