We serve every frontier AI lab with the mission of delivering the best data to power the best models. In doing so, we can make expertise that once took a lifetime to build available to anyone who needs it. Our customers are the ones building the foundation models themselves and our work sits directly in the loop of how those systems improve. This is a rare opportunity to join a company at a defining moment in AI. Forbes reported that we could be YC's fastest unicorn, reportedly raising at a $3.2 billion valuation. We're based in San Francisco and backed by leading investors including Altos Ventures, BoxGroup, and Y Combinator and angels from Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta Superintelligence Labs, and Microsoft AI.Why ApplyMassive Opportunity: Forbes reported that we could be YC's fastest unicorn, reportedly raising at a $3.2 billion valuation, and we're not slowing down.Founding Impact: You will own and architect core infrastructure systems that power our platform from the ground up.Equity & Growth: Competitive salary and meaningful equity. As we scale, you'll have the opportunity to shape the engineering organization and lead major technical initiatives.Strong Team: Our founding team has experience from Citadel Securities, Meta, Google, Silver Lake, and Morgan Stanley - work alongside world-class engineers and researchers.OverviewAs the Senior SWE- Security Infrastructure, you'll be responsible for protecting a system that handles highly sensitive workflows across AI training, expert networks, and enterprise integrations with leading model labs.This role is deeply technical. You'll design and implement the infrastructure that keeps our systems resilient, rather than managing off-the-shelf security tools. We move fast and rely heavily on AI internally. You should be comfortable using LLMs to accelerate debugging, threat analysis, and system design and just as comfortable replacing repetitive work with code. Security here isn't isolated. When you're not working on security problems, you'll be building core systems especially human-in-the-loop platforms and data infrastructure that power how frontier AI models are developed. We work in-person in San Francisco.
