## About the role

Enterprise Infrastructure & Cloud Isolation: Architect secure network perimeters, private data transmission channels (e.g., PrivateLink, VPNs), and isolated single/multi-tenant storage environments. Implement access controls and customer-managed encryption (KMS/BYOK) across petabyte-scale data stores.

- Strong Systems & Software Background: Hands-on experience with Linux systems, networking, container security (Docker, Kubernetes), Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or Pulumi), and proficiency in languages like Python, Go, or Rust
- Understanding of ML Platform Security: Practical grasp of the security challenges unique to ML platforms—protecting high-value model weights, securing distributed training pipelines, data lineage/poisoning, and AI-specific threat vectors
- Adaptable & High Agency: Comfort conducting architectural security reviews, digging into complex distributed systems, and adapting fast to new technical constraints or bespoke enterprise customer environments
- Bias Toward Real-World Impact: Pragmatic mindset—delivering security solutions that actually work for users under pressure, balancing rigor with engineering velocity
- End-to-End Ownership: Ability to take deliverables autonomously from initial threat modeling and requirements all the way through execution, deployment, and monitoring
