TryHackMe
TryHackMe is the fastest-growing online cyber security training platform. Our mission is to make learning and teaching cyber security easier by providing gamified security exercises and challenges. Having only been around for a handful of years, we've grown to more than 7+ million community members and our growth isn't slowing down! 🥷
The Role
We're looking for a Senior AI Security Content Engineer to help us design and develop cutting-edge AI-focused cybersecurity training content. This is a senior role that demands deep, hands-on cybersecurity expertise combined with strong AI/ML knowledge — you'll be creating advanced learning experiences that teach our users how to secure, assess, and defend AI/ML systems in an era where artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the security landscape.
In this role, you'll research and develop immersive training content covering AI system vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and defensive strategies. From prompt injection and model manipulation to supply chain attacks and data poisoning, you'll transform complex AI security concepts into engaging, practical labs that help millions of learners build essential skills for the future of cybersecurity.
The ideal candidate brings proven, hands-on cybersecurity experience — you've worked in the trenches of blue team operations, security engineering, incident response or in the realms of offensive security or cloud security — and you have a strong working knowledge of AI/ML systems, their architectures, and the unique security challenges that arise when integrating them into existing organizational infrastructure. You understand both the cybersecurity fundamentals and the AI landscape well enough to teach others how to defend at the intersection of the two.
Technical Skills & Experience
To be considered for this opportunity, you must have at least 5+ years of hands-on cybersecurity experience in roles such as:
- Security Engineer
- SOC Analyst
- Threat Hunter
- Incident Responder
- Penetration Tester
In addition, you must demonstrate practical knowledge of AI/ML systems and their security implications, gained through professional experience, personal projects, or research — including hands-on exposure to AI model deployment, MLOps pipelines, or cloud-based AI environments (Azure, AWS, GCP).
Mandatory Cybersecurity Skills — You Must Be Able To Demonstrate
