01Overview

What is an AI Security?

An AI Security engineer protects AI systems and the companies that build them: application and product security for LLM-powered features, offensive security and red-teaming against prompt injection and tool misuse, detection and incident response when an agent misbehaves in production. The field differs from AI Safety: safety works on model behavior and alignment, security works on threat models, attack surfaces, and controls. Hiring spans frontier labs, AI-native startups hardening agentic products, and enterprise security teams absorbing AI systems. Strong candidates combine classical security engineering with hands-on understanding of how LLM applications actually fail.

As of August 2026, AgenticCareers tracks 44 open AI Security positions across 22 companies. The median advertised salary is $192K–$282K per year (based on 37 listings with disclosed pay). 32% of roles are remote. The most active employers are Harvey, Vercel, Brex.
