AI Native Information Security Engineer at ConsumerAffairs

Job Description

We are seeking a Security & IT Engineer who leverages AI-first thinking to reshape how security is designed, scaled, and maintained. This isn’t a traditional security role - we want someone who can harness AI tools, automation, and creative scripting to build intelligent security solutions that scale with our business.

You’ll be our automation architect, using AI to eliminate manual processes and predict threats before they happen. If you’re excited about using generative AI to write detection rules, building generative workflows for incident response, or creating intelligent dashboards that surface insights before they’re requested, this role is for you.

This hybrid position combines forward-leaning security engineering with essential IT operations, making you a key player in our technology infrastructure’s protection and efficiency. In this role, the Information Security Engineer must be knowledgeable about security frameworks and possess both deep and wide expertise in the security space.

What you’ll do:

Leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to enhance incident response, threat detection, and compliance operations
Create intelligent systems for continuous compliance monitoring and reporting using our existing security tools
Develop and maintain security automation for onboarding/offboarding processes, access controls, and device compliance
Orchestrate vulnerability management: scanning, triage, remediation and tracking
Use AI tools to analyze security metrics, identify trends, and generate actionable intelligence
Manage and optimize our security stack

IT Infrastructure & Ops
