> Build and own security infrastructure and core systems for an AI platform handling sensitive workflows. Requires 2-7 years experience with Python/Go/TypeScript, cloud environments, and production security tooling.

## Job Description

## What You’ll Work On
- Build systems that identify and respond to real security events across our stack
- Replace manual security workflows with programmatic, scalable solutions
- Strengthen our cloud and production environments (GCP/AWS, containers, networking)
- Design and enforce access control systems across internal teams, experts, and customers
- Integrate security checks directly into development workflows without slowing shipping speed
- Own incident handling systems and processes from detection through resolution
- Secure surfaces unique to AI systems, including data flows and model interaction layers

## Beyond Security
- Develop human-in-the-loop systems used in AI training and evaluation
- Contribute to core infrastructure and internal tooling used across the company
- Ship features across the stack that directly impact customers and model performance

## What We’re Looking For
- You’ve built internal tools or systems to solve security problems—not just configured existing products
- Strong programming ability in Python, Go, or TypeScript
- Experience working with cloud environments (IAM, networking, containers)
- Ability to identify vulnerabilities directly in code and system design
- Experience creating or maintaining signal-based monitoring and alerting systems
- Comfortable owning production issues when they arise
- Able to move fluidly between security work and general engineering
- 2-7 years building software or security systems

## Nice to Have
- Background in fast-scaling startups or high-output engineering teams
- Exposure to AI systems, data pipelines, or model evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with offensive security techniques
- Experience building tools that other engineers depend on
- Evidence of building and shipping systems from zero to production
