Lead AI Security Architect

As an AI Security & Governance Architect, you will be responsible for embedding security, privacy, and compliance principles into the design and operation of AI platforms across Singtel.

Make an Impact by:

. Collaborate with Singtel's Group Security and Data Governance teams to align AI platform designs with enterprise security and compliance policies.

. Define and implement secure-by-design architectural principles for AI/ML platforms, covering data pipelines, model deployment, and access layers.

. Implement and oversee Responsible AI (RAI) practices to ensure AI systems are designed and deployed ethically, with fairness, transparency, and compliance

. Implement and oversee Explainable AI (XAI) practices to ensure AI model decisions are transparent, interpretable, and trustworthy through integrated explainability features.

. Ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks and AI governance standards.

. Ensure secure and compliant architecture in collaboration with cybersecurity and governance teams, embedding PDPA and enterprise policy requirements into designs

. Translate governance requirements into technical specifications and enforceable controls across cloud and on-premise AI environments.

. Integrate privacy-preserving mechanisms such as data anonymization, encryption, tokenization, and secure logging into AI workflows.

. Evaluate and recommend AI security and governance tools (e.g. AWS Guardrails, Azure Responsible AI, IBM Watson Governance) for adoption.

. Conduct AI-specific risk assessments, including model misuse, bias, data leakage, adversarial attacks, and LLM prompt vulnerabilities.

. Review and approve the integration of third-party AI services and open-source models from a security and compliance perspective.

. Champion awareness of AI security and governance across AIDA by contributing to policies, best practices, and team enablement sessions.

. Review and clear governance approvals related to architecture and solution design, with specific focus on AI security.

. Collaborate with vendors and partners to review, evaluate, and select appropriate security solutions.

. Ensure all AI solutions, including in-house and vendor-developed systems, undergo thorough testing and Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) to safeguard security and reliability.

Skills for Success:

. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Cybersecurity, Engineering, AI/ML, or related field.

. More than 5 years of experience in cybersecurity, data governance, or secure systems architecture, with at least 3 years focused on AI or cloud-based ML systems

. Proven expertise in implementing cybersecurity governance, data protection, etc on data or AI platform.

. Strong understanding of AI/ML pipeline components and risks-model misuse, prompt injection, data leakage, adversarial inputs, bias and explainability.

. Proficient in implementing secure and compliant AI/ML systems on cloud platforms such as AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, Google Vertex AI, etc.

. Experience with AIOps/LLMOps and DevSecOps practices, including secure CI/CD, RBAC, secrets management and logging

. Familiarity with AI governance toolkits and regulatory trends

. Technical knowledge of data privacy controls (encryption, tokenization, data minimization) and security frameworks (e.g., Zero Trust, OWASP for ML)

. Ability to perform threat modeling and security assessment for AI and LLM-based systems

. Strong cross-functional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence both technical and policy-level decisions

. Good internal (IT, Networks, business) and external (suppliers, government) stakeholders management skills

. Strong technical writing and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

. Proactive and fast learner with a strong drive to stay current on emerging technologies and industry trends

. Proven experience working in a telco environment or implementing security and governance role is a plus
