About Mindgard

Mindgard is a London-based startup specializing in AI security.

Our mission is to secure the future of AI against cyber attacks. We've spun-out from a leading UK university after a decade of R&D, and are among the first few companies globally to offer solutions to this rapidly growing problem.

The Role

We're seeking an experienced Security Analyst who is passionate about helping security teams and developers keep AI powered systems secure. Prior AI experience is useful, but not essential.

Today's software often benefits from AI components. AI also introduces new security risks to control. Security teams need visibility, help triaging, and assistance mitigating the new threats introduced by AI.

You will provide actionable analysis for AI vulnerabilities for information security professionals, including: simple explanations, severity analysis, threat models, proofs of concept for use in attacks, and mitigations.

As part of our collaborative and friendly AI Security R&D team, you'll build the AI security intelligence and detection techniques that power Mindgard's products. You'll work closely with experts in AI security vulnerabilities and red teaming techniques.

What you will be doing:

Adding security intelligence for the latest AI security vulnerabilities to the Mindgard product.
Making cutting-edge AI security research actionable for security teams.
Spotting, validating, and triaging new emerging AI security threats from the community.
Developing proofs of concept for potential security vulnerabilities.
Responsibly disclosing vulnerabilities with AI vendors, builders, and the open source community.
Joining customer meetings to understand their AI security concerns.
Advising the product engineering team on security teams requirements and the AI security domain.
Writing, editing, and presenting content that helps the community respond to AI security threats.
Researching new AI security vulnerabilities and attack techniques.

We're looking for people who are:

Kind, to collaborate effectively towards the highest quality outcomes.
Passionate about our mission to help security teams with AI security risks.
Curious, to deepen your understanding of AI security.
Pragmatic, helping our customers make the best security tradeoffs.

You'll need to be:

A domain expert in the application security field, including common vulnerabilities such as XSS, SSRF, RCE, SQL Injection, Deserialization, etc.
Experienced with security team processes, practices such as threat modeling, and use of tooling such as SAST/DAST/SCA/CSPM/ASPM.
Comfortable writing vulnerabilities disclosures and crafting security exploits.
Familiar with responsible disclosure processes.
Capable of writing code and configuring systems to automate your work and produce proof of concepts.

You'll stand out if you have:

Expertise in AI or AI security.
Worked in a SaaS product startup.

How Many Cyber Security Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cyber Security Job?

If you are trying to build or move forward in a cyber security career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know never ends. One job advert asks for SIEM platforms, another mentions penetration testing tools, another lists cloud security, threat intelligence platforms, endpoint detection, scripting languages and compliance frameworks. Scroll LinkedIn and it gets worse. Everyone seems to “know” dozens of tools, certifications and platforms. Here is the reality most cyber security hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand risk, can think like an attacker and a defender, follow process, communicate clearly and make good decisions under pressure. Tools matter — but only when they support those outcomes. So how many cyber security tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific and how to focus your learning so you look credible, not overwhelmed.

The Skills Gap in Cyber Security Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cyber security has become one of the most critical disciplines in the modern economy. From protecting financial systems and healthcare data to securing national infrastructure, cloud platforms and supply chains, cyber security professionals now sit at the frontline of digital trust. Demand for cyber security talent in the UK has surged. Job vacancies remain high, salaries continue to rise, and organisations across every sector report difficulty hiring skilled professionals. Yet despite this demand, many graduates struggle to break into cyber security roles and employers consistently report that candidates are not job-ready. The problem is not intelligence, ambition or academic effort. It is a persistent and widening skills gap between university education and real-world cyber security work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cyber security.
