Principal AI Security Engineer

Role 

This is a hands-on architecture role: deep research, secure systems design, and prototyping, applied across product lines with minimal direction and broad latitude to set the technical agenda. You will set platform-wide direction for securing the AI development lifecycle, define the security architecture, agents, and models operating within it, and represent ServiceNow's AI security point of view externally. You'll be a technical authority other engineers and other teams look to on emerging AI-specific threats, working in close partnership with the AI security research team - drawing on their findings and feeding real-world attack surfaces back into their agenda. 

What you'll do 

• Own the security strategy and architecture for our Agentic AI ecosystem, LLMs, and models across product lines 
• Lead threat modeling for the most complex and novel GenAI/agentic surfaces: cross-agent autonomy, multi-agent tool orchestration, and emerging attack classes not yet standardised in the industry 
• Set the architectural standard for securing model/RAG/data pipelines platform-wide, including access-control and data-boundary models that other teams are expected to build against 
• Define what "secure-by-design" means for agentic systems at ServiceNow, and drive adoption across engineering orgs 
• Represent ServiceNow's AI security posture externally (standards bodies, industry publications, conferences) and internally to executive stakeholders 
• Mentor and technically guide engineers on AI-specific security work
