About the role
- Own the end-to-end security architecture for multi-tenant Kubernetes GPU clusters
- Design tenant isolation, egress control, and network segmentation across compute, storage, and networking layers
- Define and implement runtime security and intrusion detection for untrusted AI workloads

- Secure the software supply chain, from CI/CD pipelines to container admission
- Lead threat modeling and security design reviews for new platform features
- Drive compliance readiness (SOC 2, ISO 27001) without slowing engineering velocity

- Experience building or operating runtime security and policy enforcement (Falco, Cilium, OPA, Calico, eBPF-based tools)
- Solid grounding in network security and zero-trust architectures
- Practical experience with secrets management and key systems (Vault, cloud KMS)
- Strong automation skills in Go, Python, or Bash
- Proven ability to operate autonomously, make architectural decisions, and deliver in ambiguous environments
- Experience partnering deeply with platform, infra, and SRE teams
