The Mission
We're hiring for what's plausibly the most difficult, urgent, and interesting challenge in AI security engineering this decade (for humans, at least): designing and building the first datacenter purpose-built to Security Level 5, the standard for defending frontier AI labs against attackers with the resources of a nation-state and billion-dollar budgets. We're working on the first SL5 components this year and aiming for an at-scale SL5 datacenter build in 2027.
We wrote the first version of the standard with input from CISOs and senior security staff at the frontier labs, and US security and intelligence officials. Now we're designing the SL5 architectures purpose-built for frontier AI workloads, and standing up the reference tech stack to guide labs' buildouts. This stack has to hold against nation-states, not destroy researchers' productivity, not cost more than labs can pay, and ship in 2-3 years.
What you’d work on
- Owning our recruiting process, and refining and improving it where it falls short of excellence
- Sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews, and driving offers to close.
- Take fuzzy hiring needs and do what it takes to turn them into clear role definitions and scorecards
- Be the first Security Level 5 touchpoint for candidates, explaining our mission and representing us well.
You’d be a fit if you
- Have 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting, including technical or research hiring at a startup or fast-growing org.
- Are comfortable owning an entire recruiting function, and have the requisite knowledge to rebuild an existing process from the ground up.
- Have sufficient technical expertise to filter out candidates who are not a strong match early.
- Are capable of operating autonomously while keeping the team synced
- Care about the mission. You think AI could reshape the coming decade and want to help it go safely, with a realistic read on both the upside and the risks.
