## About the Role

* Security and Infrastructure Engineering: Experience (typically 15+ years) across software engineering, SRE, infrastructure, and security engineering. You build systemic solutions rather than performing manual operations or "tool administration."
 * Production-Grade Coding: A strong software engineering background with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. You should be comfortable building and operating production services at scale., * Foundation: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience) with 15+ yrs of relevant experience., * HPC/AI Security: Experience securing high-performance computing environments, RDMA-based networks, large GPU fleets, or GPU-specific security challenges.
 * Cloud-Native Identity and Attestation: Expertise in workload identity frameworks (e.g., SPIFFE/SPIRE), hardware root of trust (TPM/HSM) integration, or confidential computing.
 * Offensive Depth Turned Defensive: Real exploitation, red team, or security research experience that you have converted into engineering: the controls, guardrails, and detections that closed what you found for good.
 * Open Source Impact: Notable contributions to security-focused open-source projects or a track record of engineering-focused security research. How have you represented and helped advance the industry?

## Description

* Emerging Technology: You work with what is new rather than waiting for it to settle. Today that means writing and reviewing AI-generated code at the volume it now arrives, putting AI-assisted analysis to work in your own security engineering, and building for agents that act inside the systems you own. Tomorrow it will mean something else.
 * Security Architecture in Practice: Designs you own that actually got built and run, in areas like multi-tenant isolation, identity and access, policy enforcement, vulnerability management, or detection engineering. You stayed on to operate them.
 * Threat Modeling and System Design: Proven ability to build threat models for complex distributed systems, identify the architectural gaps rather than only the bugs, and engineer the solutions that close them.
 * Distributed Systems and Linux Depth: Cloud-native architecture, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and hands-on Linux systems security including kernel-level primitives (eBPF, AppArmor, or SELinux).
 * Influence Without Authority: Experience landing designs through teams you do not own, in environments where credibility and relationships, not org charts, determine whether the work ships.
