About the Company

Ema is building the Universal Agentic Control Plane, the platform enterprises use to build, govern, deploy and observe AI agents at scale. Our agents run real workflows across HR, customer experience, finance, sales and documents. They connect to 250 enterprise systems, from HR and CRM platforms to ITSM and ERP systems, and they are deployed with leading global systems integrators and BPO partners.

Ema was founded by leaders from Google, Coinbase and Okta, is backed by top-tier venture and strategic investors, and is based in Silicon Valley and Bangalore.

About the Role

Ema builds AI agents that act on sensitive enterprise data and systems. You’ll make sure the agents, and the platform they run on, are secure by design. You’ll build security controls for autonomous agents operating across multi-tenant enterprise environments, including cloud, on-prem and air-gapped deployments.

You’ll solve zero-trust problems where the code isn’t static logic but non-deterministic models making live API calls against sensitive customer data. Our agents orchestrate 100 LLMs, call third-party tools through MCP, execute code in sandboxes and drive headless browsers, and each of those is an attack surface you’ll help define.

Responsibilities

What you’ll own

AI and agent security

- Threat model new AI agent features before launch: direct and indirect prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration through agent outputs, and over-privileged tool use
- Design guardrails for agentic workflows: least-privilege tool and connector scopes, human-in-the-loop approvals for high-risk actions, and output filtering
- Enforce tenant and data isolation across retrieval (RAG), context stores, and model calls,



so no customer’s data leaks into another’s context
- Secure the AI supply chain: model and provider vetting, third-party MCP servers and connectors, prompt and config versioning
- Run AI red-team exercises and build automated adversarial tests (prompt injection suites) into CI

Cloud and platform security

- Security baselines for Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure: RBAC, network policies, workload identity, secrets management, per-tenant network isolation
- Security in CI/CD: IaC scanning, SAST and dependency scanning, policy-as-code guardrails

What you’ll contribute to

- AI-aware detection with our current technology and tooling: logging prompts, tool calls and agent actions, and alerting on anomalous agent behavior
- Partner with the Security & Compliance Lead on technical controls and evidence for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA and ISO 42001, plus the NIST AI RMF

Qualifications

- 5 years in cloud security, application security, or DevSecOps (GCP/Azure Preferred)

Required Skills

- Deep hands-on Kubernetes and cloud security experience
- Security automation with IaC (Terraform/Helm) and Python or Bash.
- A working understanding of LLM application risks (OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications) and how agentic systems fail
- Comfortable influencing engineers without formal authority

Preferred Skills





- Nice-to-havesHands-on experience securing LLM, RAG, or agentic systems in production
- AI red teaming, or familiarity with MITRE ATLAS
- CNAPP/CSPM tooling, SIEM/detection engineering
- Contributions to AI security research, open-source tools, or CTFs
