About the role: Agentic AI Security Specialist

We are seeking an Agentic AI Security Specialist to join Siemens Digital Industries Operations Software at our AI hub in Canada.

You own the security of a product in which software agents read industrial data, consult digital twins, and, within granted authority, act on production systems. Trust is the product's core promise and you make sure that the product can live up to that promise.

We're redefining the industrial world using data and AI to make production: Agile, Adaptive, Autonomous. Eliminate productivity boundaries for today’s and tomorrow’s production operation. Join our mission to build the most comprehensive next generation AI-native Industrial Operations Software portfolio as the new operation system for industry in the age of AI. With us you have the chance to now apply AI to where it really matters: In the physical world of an industrial production and engineering of real things.

Join our Digital World

At Siemens Digital Industries Operations Software, flexibility is how we work – hybrid, built on trust and autonomy. We build technology that shapes the real world. You'll grow through real projects, strong technical peers, and global mobility, backed by the scale and benefits of an industrial operations software leader. We're committed to equality and inclusion, and we hire based on merit, skills, and impact. Bring your curiosity and creativity and help us shape tomorrow!

What will you do? *

The role covers two workstreams with one underlying discipline: keeping autonomous agents contained. First, you are responsible for the security of our own AI-first development: our coding agents work in sandboxes with real tools and real credentials, and no agent may break out, exfiltrate data, or cause damage; our development and demonstration environments must never expose customer data. Second, you are responsible for the security of the product itself: customer agents must remain securely confined to their granted scope, skills must not be able to cause harm beyond their declared effect, and the guardrails must be able to deliver their full protective effect under attack and under failure. The development environment and the customer product are operated separately, but the mechanisms that keep an agent inside its boundaries are the same, and you own them in both.

You hold the full product security mandate: threat models, identity and permission architecture, enforcement at the point where an agent calls a tool or triggers an action, isolation of execution environments, secure supply chain, and security analytics over the traffic the platform generates. You work closely with the data and memory engineer, whose pipelines carry the signals you analyze, with the runtime lead, whose execution model you constrain, with the developer platform engineer, whose sandboxes you harden, and with the governance owners in Europe, who define what the product may do. You are not a compliance function and not a reviewer at the end of the line; you design the mechanisms and verify that they hold.

Design and implement agent containment for both internal AI-first development and the customer product, covering sandbox isolation, network access, credentials, and resource limits. *

Define identity, delegation, and authorization mechanisms that restrict agents and skills to approved data, tools, and actions, together with the runtime and skill engine teams. *

Protect tenant boundaries and sensitive data across runtime, memory, traces, and development playgrounds, preventing unauthorized access and customer-data exposure. *

Build and test defenses against prompt injection, tool misuse, data exfiltration, and privilege escalation; verify that guardrails and revocation mechanisms remain effective under attack and component failure. *

Develop security analytics across model traffic, tool calls, and agent actions to detect misuse and support containment and investigation. *

Integrate security checks into both CI/CD and the product’s assessment workflow, collaborating with Verification Engineering on functional and security findings. *

Maintain threat models and translate relevant regulatory and customer requirements into technical controls, coordinating independent security reviews with qualified specialists. *

Work AI-first: use coding agents for security engineering while retaining responsibility for design, verification, and security judgment.

What you will bring? *

Degree in computer science, security engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience. *

6+ years in product or application security with hands-on engineering: you have designed and implemented security mechanisms, not only audited them. *

Deep experience with identity and access management, authorization models, and secrets management in cloud-native and on-premises environments. *

Practical understanding of LLM-based systems and their specific attack surface: prompt injection, tool abuse, indirect injection through data, and privilege escalation through agent chains. *

Experience with sandboxing and workload isolation: container security, network policy, syscall and filesystem restriction, and the ways each of them fails. *

Experience securing CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling, where the attacker may be an automated process with legitimate credentials. *

Experience with threat modeling, security architecture review, and translating threats into testable controls. *

Solid Python and familiarity with Kubernetes and secure supply chain practices. *

The ability to argue for a control with evidence and to accept a residual risk explicitly rather than implicitly.

What sets you apart *

Experience securing industrial or OT-adjacent systems and familiarity with IEC 62443 or comparable standards. *

Experience with security analytics, SIEM integration, or detection engineering. *

Published work, open-source contributions, or conference talks on LLM or agent security. *

Experience with the EU AI Act or comparable regulatory frameworks for AI systems. *

Exposure to the NVIDIA AI stack, in particular NeMo Guardrails, and an informed view on what it does and does not protect. *

Experience red-teaming agent systems or coding agents. *

Comfortable working with distributed teams across time zones and communicating asynchronously by default.

Salary is commensurate with experience, and ranges between $ 100,000 CAD - $ 150,000 CAD, excluding bonus and benefits. In addition to base salary, this role includes eligibility for an annual discretionary bonus of 10%.
