About the Role

We are building an AI Security and Governance capability and need an AI Security Analyst to be the front line for detecting, investigating, and containing risk across every AI tool, agent, and model touching AlphaSense's environment.

You will monitor enterprise AI usage end-to-end, hunt for unauthorized ("shadow") AI and rogue agent activity, and transform raw AI telemetry into triaged findings the security and governance team can act on. Working alongside the Automation Engineer, Data Analyst, and Director, you will be a primary contributor to the evidence base underpinning our ISO 42001 certification and broader AI risk posture.

Key Responsibilities

• AI Tool Discovery & Shadow AI Monitoring: Continuously monitor CASB/SWG, OAuth, and endpoint telemetry to discover unsanctioned AI tools, browser extensions, and API-level agents in use across the business. Classify findings by risk tier and escalate unauthorized deployments for containment.
• Rogue Agent Detection & Investigation: Investigate alerts related to autonomous agents and AI-powered workflows, including anomalous tool chains, unexpected data access, and credential misuse. Address threats such as OpenClaw and similar agent-based attack patterns. Document findings and drive remediation with the Automation Engineer and Identity teams.
• AI Telemetry Analysis: Parse and correlate signals from multiple security and observability tools to identify suspicious AI usage patterns and prioritize high-risk findings for investigation.
• Governance & Compliance Support: Contribute evidence and documentation to support ISO 42001 certification, AI risk assessments, and internal audit processes.
• Incident Response & Containment: Participate in security incident response workflows involving AI systems, including containment and post-incident analysis.

What We're Looking For

• Background in security operations, threat hunting, or cloud security with demonstrated ability to work with telemetry and logs.
• Understanding of AI/ML systems, large language models (LLMs), and agentic workflows—or strong motivation to develop this expertise rapidly.
• Familiarity with CASB, SWG, SIEM, or identity platforms (Okta, Azure AD, Salesforce).
• Comfort with data analysis tools (SQL, Python, or similar) to query and correlate security signals.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize ambiguous findings, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proactive mindset with curiosity about emerging AI security risks and attack patterns.
