primeintellect - Member of Technical Staff - Security
Requirements
• 5+ years in security engineering, infrastructure security, or offensive security roles — ideally at companies operating multi-tenant cloud or compute infrastructure • Deep experience with cloud security (GCP preferred), Kubernetes security, and container runtime hardening • Hands-on ability to read, write, and audit code in Python and Rust (or strong systems-level language) • Experience with network security in distributed systems — service mesh, mTLS, network segmentation across heterogeneous hardware • Proven track record managing external penetration tests and translating findings into engineering action • Strong fundamentals in cryptography, identity/access management, and secure software development lifecycle • Experience securing GPU infrastructure or ML training pipelines • Background in offensive security — CTFs, bug bounties, red team engagements • Familiarity with AI-specific threat models (model extraction, training data poisoning, sandbox escape) • Experience building security programs from scratch at a high-growth startup • SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP compliance experience • Open-source security tooling contributions • Familiarity with eBPF, Falco, or similar runtime security tools
Responsibilities
• PREVENTIVE SECURITY & SECURE ARCHITECTURE • Own threat modeling across our entire surface area: multi-tenant training infrastructure, sandboxed execution environments, API surfaces, and internal tooling • Design and implement zero-trust networking, identity, and access control across distributed GPU clusters and cloud infrastructure • Build secure-by-default patterns for our platform engineers — auth, secrets management, supply chain integrity, container hardening • Architect tenant isolation and data boundary enforcement for hosted RL training workloads (customers run arbitrary code in our environments) • AI-NATIVE SECURITY • Develop security frameworks specific to AI infrastructure: model weight protection, training data isolation, checkpoint integrity, gradient privacy • Secure the RL training loop end-to-end — from environment execution in sandboxes to reward signal verification and model artifact storage • Build detection and prevention for AI-specific attack vectors: prompt injection across agentic pipelines, model exfiltration, adversarial environment manipulation • OFFENSIVE SECURITY & EXTERNAL ENGAGEMENTS • Scope, manage, and run point on external penetration tests across our platform, hosted training infrastructure, and liquid compute layer • Build and maintain an internal red-teaming practice — automated and manual — targeting our most critical systems • Drive vulnerability management: triage, remediation SLAs, and root cause analysis • DETECTION, RESPONSE & OBSERVABILITY • Build security monitoring and alerting across infrastructure (distributed clusters, Kubernetes, cloud) and application layers • Implement runtime security for containerized training workloads and sandboxed environments • Own incident response — build the playbooks, run the drills, lead the post-mortems • Design audit logging and forensic capability across all customer-facing systems • COMPLIANCE & CUSTOMER TRUST • Drive SOC 2 Type II readiness and other compliance frameworks required by enterprise customers • Own the security narrative for customer-facing materials — questionnaires, architecture reviews, trust documentation • Partner with GTM to unblock enterprise deals that depend on security posture
Benefits
• Flexible work arrangement (remote or San Francisco office) • Full visa sponsorship and relocation support • Professional development budget for courses and conferences • Regular team off-sites and conference attendance • Opportunity to shape the future of decentralized AI development • GROWTH OPPORTUNITY • You'll be the foundational security hire at a company where security is existential — not a checkbox. As we scale to support frontier AI labs and enterprises running their most critical training workloads on our platform, you'll build the security org from the ground up and have direct influence on company strategy. • We value intensity and ownership over credentials. If you've built security programs at infrastructure companies, broken into systems professionally, or have deep conviction about how AI infrastructure should be secured — we want to talk. • Ready to help shape the future of AI? Apply now and join us in our mission to make powerful AI models accessible to everyone.
