Security Engineer, AI Security at Electronic Arts

EA Security is seeking an offensive-minded Security Engineer, AI Security to help secure AI-enabled systems, agents, and LLM-integrated workflows across EA’s games, services, and enterprise platforms. This role focuses on identifying real-world security risks in both commercial and internally developed AI platforms, and on building scalable testing, automation, and AI-driven security agents that extend the team’s impact.

You will work closely with Application Security and Red Team engineers, applying an attacker’s mindset to AI systems while building scalable security testing, automation, and guardrails that meaningfully reduce risk. This role is hands-on, technical, and impact-driven, with an emphasis on practical exploitation, adversarial testing, and scalable security outcomes.

This role is ideal for security engineers who enjoy breaking complex systems, reasoning about abuse paths, and turning deep technical findings into scalable and durable AI security improvements.

This position reports into the Application Security and Red Teaming organization.

Responsibilities

• Perform security testing and reviews of AI-enabled applications, agents, and workflows, including architecture, design, and implementation analysis.
• Identify and validate vulnerabilities in LLM-based systems such as data leakage, insecure tool use, authentication gaps, and abuse paths.
• Evaluate AI systems for prompt injection (direct, indirect, conditional, and persistent), including risks introduced through retrieval-augmented generation and agentic workflows.
• Conduct adversarial testing of commercial AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot, Google AgentSpace, and OpenAI ChatGPT, as well as internally developed AI systems.
• Assess agentic and multi-agent workflows for privilege escalation, unsafe action chaining, cross-agent abuse, and unintended side effects.
• Design, build, and operate AI-driven security agents and automation, including multi-agent workflows, that scale application security, red teaming, and AI security efforts.
• Develop tooling, test harnesses, and repeatable validation frameworks to expand AI security coverage across teams.
• Partner with application engineers to translate findings into actionable mitigations, secure design patterns, and engineering guidance.
• Collaborate with Red Team and AppSec engineers to integrate AI attack techniques and agent-based testing into broader offensive security activities.
• Contribute reusable insights, documentation, and guardrails that help teams adopt AI securely and reduce future systemic risk.

Required Qualifications

• Strong background in application security, offensive security, or a combination of both.
• Hands-on experience identifying and exploiting security weaknesses in modern applications and services.
• Experience testing or securing AI-enabled systems, LLM integrations, or agent-based workflows.
• Ability to reason about attacker misuse, abuse scenarios, and emergent behavior beyond traditional vulnerability classes.
• Experience building automation, tooling, or security agents using languages such as Python, Go, JavaScript, or similar.
• Familiarity with source code review and security tooling such as CodeQL, Semgrep, or equivalent.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work directly with engineers and security partners.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience assessing commercial AI platforms or enterprise AI services.
• Familiarity with agent orchestration, tool calling, function execution, or multi-agent systems.
• Experience with traditional red team tooling or adversary simulation techniques.
• Exposure to detection engineering, incident response, or threat intelligence workflows.
• Experience turning novel AI security findings into scalable guidance rather than one-off fixes.
