About Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence

Ai2, founded by Paul Allen, conducts high-impact research and engineering to tackle key problems in artificial intelligence.

About the role

Are you a security-minded individual who not only enjoys identifying security vulnerabilities but also looks forward to helping close out concerns? If so, our infrastructure team is looking for a security leader who can identify and prioritize our biggest security concerns as well as contribute to resolving them.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree and 8–10 years of overall software/infrastructure engineering experience
  • 5+ years focused specifically on security engineering, application security, or security architecture, ideally including time owning a security program
  • Hands-on experience conducting security and compliance audits, and directly implementing or assessing controls. For example, experience with NIST 800-171
  • A track record of stepping up to ambiguous, high-stakes problems rather than waiting for a fully scoped mandate — this role will require building a program largely from the ground up
  • Strong ability to advise non-security technical leaders (e.g., engineering directors/managers) — translating technical risk into clear, actionable recommendations they can act on without a security background
