We are now looking for a AI Cybersecurity ExpertAs the AI Cybersecurity Expert, you will be the technical lead and internal consultant for the secure, effective, and innovative use of AI across KONE. Your mission is to help teams adopt AI confidently and safely—supporting both builders and everyday users—by providing clear guidance, practical guardrails, and reusable solutions that people can actually use.You will collaborate closely with cybersecurity engineers and architects, IT, product and data teams, and other domain experts to embed secure-by-design practices into AI solutions and AI‑assisted workflows. You are part of the KONE Cybersecurity organization and report to the Head of Enterprise Cybersecurity. This is an expert role without line‑management responsibilities; you lead through technical authority, coaching, and collaboration.The position is located in Espoo or Hyvinkää, Finland and requires regular presence in the office.You get to:
  • Establish practical AI security guardrails & patterns for LLMs, classical ML, and AI assisted workflows—clear how-to guidance, examples, and checklists that make secure choices easy.
  • Design and build AI agents for cybersecurity use cases and guide other teams building agents for business/product scenarios—safe tool use & permissioning, approval/fallback flows, containment, and user experience that minimizes risk.
  • Provide hands on consultancy and enablement: join design sessions, review solutions, help teams prototype safely, and run clinics/office hours for both developers and everyday business users.
  • Advance LLMOps/MLOps and oversee MCP usage: fit for purpose evaluation/safety tests, versioning and rollback, prompt/tool hygiene, secrets handling, and enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP) governance (tool registration, permissions, boundary controls, auditability).
  • Run pragmatic AI risk assessments for models and use cases—data minimization, isolation and context scoping, abuse/misuse prevention—including MCP specific agent–tool–data interactions.
  • Partner with capability owners (identity, data protection, data platforms, cloud, API gateways, product security, enterprise architects) to integrate AI securely by scaling through others with patterns, sample configs, and baselines.
  • Strengthen the AI supply chain with procurement, product security, and third-party risk management—technical due diligence for model providers, vector stores, orchestration frameworks, plugins/tools, and SaaS—plus practical evaluation criteria and reference controls.
  • Create reusable assets and educate users—playbooks, “dos and don’ts,” starter kits, example prompts, decision trees, and reference implementations—and continuously update patterns and training as platform capabilities evolve.
Note: This role does not focus on Security Operations or detection engineering responsibilities and does not own regulatory governance or management system topics. You will partner with those specialist teams as needed.You’d love this position if you have:
  • Solid, hands on expertise in AI/ML security across LLM and classical ML—protecting data, avoiding leakage, resisting abuse, establishing safe boundaries for agents/tools, and promoting secure user experiences.
  • Experience guiding teams to build with AI safely, including AI agents and copilots; familiarity with enterprise agent frameworks and MCP (in practice, not just theory), and how everyday users interact with these systems. · Security architecture and application security fundamentals—identity and access (human and workload), API and data protection, cloud platform controls, containerization/runtime boundaries—and the ability to apply them pragmatically to AI scenarios.
  • Operational MLOps/LLMOps know how: safety/evaluation harnesses, rollout/rollback, versioning, telemetry for AI workloads, dataset hygiene, and drift/regression monitoring—ideally in partnership with platform teams.
  • Clear, audience appropriate communication: you can explain complex topics simply, write user friendly guidance, and coach technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
  • Influence without authority: facilitation, design reviews, and decision making with architects, engineers, product owners, and business sponsors.
  • Comfortable with rapid prototyping and vendor/tool evaluation to demonstrate safe approaches and accelerate adoption.
  • Awareness of AI governance and regulation, and the ability to collaborate with governance specialists without owning that domain.
  • 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity and/or technical IT
  • Master’s degree in information security, computer science, data/ML - or equivalent practical experience.
  • Fluent English; other languages are a plus.
