Role Overview
We're looking for a hands-on Infrastructure Security Engineer to own security across our cloud and ML infrastructure — the platform that trains our models and serves millions of generations a day.
The work spans tenant isolation for user-deployed apps, GPU cluster security, and model protection from training pipeline to serving. You'll sit between Security, DevOps, and ML Engineering.
You'll own both immediate implementation work and long-term operational responsibility: cloud and ML infrastructure security, vulnerability management, monitoring, and access governance.

Corporate Access Control
Own access governance and credential management across cloud and internal tooling.
Partner with Engineering, DevOps, and IT to raise identity and access management standards.

Experience securing ML workloads — training or inference infrastructure, GPU clusters, or model-serving platforms.
Solid networking, operating systems, and cryptography fundamentals.
Strong grasp of container and infrastructure security practices and vulnerability management.
Comfortable working cross-functionally with DevOps, Engineering, and ML teams; able to independently find and close security gaps.
