Security protects some of the world's most valuable digital assets: invaluable training data, model weights representing immense computational investments, and the sensitive inputs required to leverage best of breed AI models. We're responsible for securing every byte that powers breakthrough artificial intelligence.
Reporting to the CISO, you'll be a principal technical leader responsible for shaping 's overall security architecture, with a primary focus on Data Protection and Platform Security. Your work will define secure-by-default foundational patterns across our core AI infrastructure, hardware/GPU platform layers, multi-cloud control planes, and end-to-end data lifecycles.
You will directly impact the security posture of our high-performance computing environment by architecting robust data loss prevention (DLP), encryption at rest and in transit, key management (KMS/HSM), confidential computing, and tenant isolation models. Leveraging 's hosted LLMs, you'll pioneer AI-driven security architecture capabilities—such as automated threat modeling, sensitive data discovery, and platform policy verification.
If you're excited about setting the architectural vision for data protection and platform security in the world's most demanding AI infrastructure, we want to talk.
We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and we are excited to hear from candidates who can bring unique perspectives to our team. If you do not exactly meet this description but believe you may be a good fit, please still apply and help us understand your readiness for a Staff Security Architect role. Your application is not a waste of our time.
Data Protection Architecture:
Architect, design, and standardize end-to-end data protection strategy, encompassing data classification, cryptographic key management (KMS/HSM), data loss prevention (DLP), and privacy-preserving controls across customer data and AI model weights
Define data lifecycle security controls for training datasets, checkpoint storage, and model artifacts across cloud and on-premises storage layers
Drive confidential computing architectures, envelope encryption, and hardware-backed data security guarantees for high-consequence customer workloads
Establish robust zero-trust data access policies and fine-grained authorization frameworks for sensitive platform APIs and data repositories
Platform Security & Infrastructure Hardening:
Design and enforce core platform security architectures across multi-tenant GPU infrastructure, bare-metal clusters, hypervisors, and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes)
Define strong tenant isolation, sandboxing, and secure virtualization controls to protect against cross-tenant side-channel and platform escape vulnerabilities
Conduct comprehensive threat models, architectural reviews, and risk assessments for core platform services and platform control planes
Automation & Strategic Innovation:
Prototype reference implementations and security controls in Python or Go to demonstrate secure platform integration patterns
Pioneer AI-powered architectural security capabilities leveraging 's hosted LLMs for automated threat modeling, automated policy validation, and data discovery
Assess third-party vendor risks and build automated tooling to evaluate SaaS vendor security postures
Strategic Leadership & Alignment:
Partner closely with Platform, Engineering, Product, and Infrastructure leaders to embed security architecture into long-term product roadmaps
Author technical whitepapers, architectural blueprints, and customer-facing trust documentation highlighting 's platform security and data protection posture
Mentor senior engineering talent across the organization on secure design principles, platform security patterns, and threat modeling

Будет плюсом

Excitement about leveraging our direct access to state-of-the-art LLMs to revolutionize enterprise security—imagine AI-assisted access reviews, automated SaaS risk assessments, and intelligent policy generation.
Experience building enterprise security and IAM programs at high-growth tech companies or cloud providers
Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA) and audit preparation
Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) for managing enterprise identity and SaaS configurations
Deep technical background allowing hands-on contribution when needed
Experience with both build and buy decisions for security tooling
Experience driving or providing significant evidence for compliance audits, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, or FedRAMP.
