Please review the following job description:

The talent we seek will have proven experience and capability to pull in potentially dozens of AI use cases per week - independently meeting with end users and stakeholders to get the user story and business case for the proposed use case. Build out the use case (with limited guidance), properly prioritize it against all other TPS use cases, advocate for the stakeholder(s), and walk the use case through the Path to Production. Further, the candidate will need to be a TPS/security liaison to all other lines of business; develop and maintain close working relationship with all AI Enablement Leads.This will require an experienced consultant-type mind to proactively reach out to use case owners, ask the tough questions, and coordinate with numerous other business lines throughout Truist. Success in this role will require technical competency, consultancy experience, the fortitude to wade through somewhat tough discussions, and the drive and motivation to navigate Truist into the AI era.This role works closely with AI engineering, application development, platform, cybersecurity, governance, and architecture teams to help ensure AI-enabled solutions are secure, resilient, compliant, and operationally ready.As a key contributor within the Forge AI Security organization, the AI Security Engineer assists in the design, implementation, testing, monitoring, and validation of security capabilities for AI-enabled applications, intelligent agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions, and enterprise AI platforms. The role supports security reviews, threat modeling activities, adversarial testing exercises, control validation efforts, and deployment readiness assessments throughout the AI delivery lifecycle.This position requires hands-on security engineering experience and a strong understanding of modern application security principles, cloud security, and AI security concepts. The role regularly partners with developers and solution teams to implement security controls, troubleshoot security issues, validate configurations, and improve the overall security posture of AI-enabled systems.The successful candidate will be comfortable working across no-code, low-code, and pro-code AI development environments and supporting AI solutions deployed within Microsoft Azure and AWS cloud platforms, including services such as Azure AI, Azure OpenAI, and Amazon Bedrock.
