JOB DESCRIPTION

Overview

NeGD is building a portfolio of AI-driven digital products for citizens at national scale conversational assistants, agentic platforms, document and decision-support systems, identity and verification services, fraud-detection solutions, and other AI-enabled government platforms.

We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer to secure these systems end to end: someone who is equally comfortable identifying vulnerabilities in a conventional web application or API, reviewing authentication and cloud configurations, and attacking an LLM, RAG pipeline, ML model, or autonomous agent.

This is a hands-on engineering role. The ideal candidate does not only define security policies, coordinate audits, or review reports. They can personally inspect code and architecture, build threat models, use offensive and defensive security tooling, reproduce vulnerabilities, write scripts and test harnesses, configure security controls, and work directly with engineers to remediate findings.





The role requires depth in established cybersecurity disciplines — application security, API security, identity, cloud and infrastructure security, secure SDLC, penetration testing, cryptography, vulnerability management, and incident response — together with practical understanding of the emerging attack surface introduced by AI systems.

The selected engineer will work alongside software engineers, AI/ML engineers, MLOps and DevOps/ SRE teams, product managers, AI safety specialists, and government stakeholders to build systems that are secure by design and resilient against both traditional and AI-specific attacks.

Roles and Responsibilities
- Conduct hands-on security assessment of web applications, APIs, microservices, mobile/backend services, cloud deployments, containers, and supporting infrastructure, using a combination of manual testing and automated security tooling.
- Perform application and API penetration testing covering authentication and authorisation f
