What this job asks for AI summary
This role sits within an internal cybersecurity team and focuses on building and operating security controls specifically for AI and machine learning systems. Day-to-day work spans hands-on architecture and development, identifying AI-specific threats such as prompt injection and model manipulation, and embedding security practices into development and MLOps pipelines. It suits an engineer with a cybersecurity background who also has direct experience delivering AI/ML solutions and some people management experience.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'Manager in AI Security Engineering' maps to a people-management role (the JD explicitly requires 1+ year of people/process management experience and responsibilities include mentoring engineers and leading teams), so 11-3021 is the primary SOC. 15-1212 is the runner-up given the heavy hands-on AI/cybersecurity engineering emphasis.
The level advertised in the title is set to Mid because the title carries no explicit seniority modifier ('Manager' at Deloitte is a mid-career grade, not a 'Senior Manager'); however, the actual scope and 6+ years of experience required support a Senior-level classification.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent' experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
All technical skills (Python/JavaScript, PyTorch/TensorFlow, DevSecOps, CI/CD, MLOps, cloud platforms, GenAI) appear exclusively under the 'Preferred' qualifications section. The only hard-gated technical requirement is broad experience in software engineering, cybersecurity, and/or AI/ML, captured as 'AI/ML security' under required skills and in the overall years minimum.
The compensation range ($118,700–$243,700/year) is unusually wide; Deloitte explicitly notes it reflects a broad set of factors and geographic differentials, and that most hires will not be at the top of the range.
