đź“‹ Description

  • • Join WRITER's security team as a staff detection and response engineer to protect the AI infrastructure transforming how the world works by building sophisticated detection systems for AI-specific threats and creating automated response capabilities that scale with explosive growth.
  • • Design and implement detection strategies for AI-specific threats like prompt injection and model extraction, build automated response playbooks, lead incident response coordination, proactively hunt threats across GPU clusters, build detection-as-code frameworks, collaborate cross-functionally as the operational security partner, and maintain 24/7 on-call rotation for critical AI security incidents.
  • • Work with a fast-moving, innovative team at WRITER, a $1.9B-valued enterprise generative AI leader with offices in San Francisco, New York City, Austin, Chicago, and London, dedicated to expanding human capacity through superintelligence and trustworthy AI that unites IT and business teams.
  • • Develop expertise in securing cutting-edge AI/AGI systems, translate threat intelligence into real-time detections, gain hands-on experience defending AI infrastructure against evolving adversarial tactics, and define what AI security engineering looks like at scale while working closely with AI research, cloud infrastructure, and software security teams.

🎯 Requirements

  • • 3-5+ years in security operations, detection engineering, or incident response with a proven track record of identifying and stopping sophisticated attacks in production environments, plus 3+ years specifically securing AI/ML infrastructure, high-performance computing environments, or other distributed systems at scale
  • • Strong programming skills in Python, KQL, SPL, or similar languages to build custom detection logic, automate response workflows, and create tools that operationalize security at scale across cloud-native and distributed computing environments
  • • Experience with SIEM platforms, detection technologies, and forensic investigation techniques with demonstrated ability to build detection for novel attack techniques and conduct forensics in complex distributed environments
  • • Self-directed execution mindset with a track record of securing high-value intellectual property, automating incident response in complex environments, and identifying critical security gaps through proactive threat hunting before they become incidents
  • • Deep alignment with WRITER's values: connecting across security, infrastructure, and AI research teams, challenging assumptions about AI security engineering, and owning protection of the AI platform with unwavering accountability
