The opportunity
Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers.
What you'll do
Build and Tune Detections: Develop and refine detection content across our SIEM and EDR to catch threats targeting customer data, model weights, and infrastructure.
Respond to Incidents: Participate in on-call, lead investigations end-to-end, and turn each incident into automation, playbooks, or controls that prevent the next one.
Harden Systems Directly: Remediate vulnerabilities and security findings in production, partnering with engineering teams when fixes cross team boundaries.
Review Architectures and Code: Provide actionable security feedback on high-level designs and individual changes, and turn recurring review patterns into reusable standards.
Build Security Tooling: Ship Python or Go services that automate evidence collection, vulnerability triage, and other toil, using Lambda's hosted LLMs where they meaningfully accelerate the work.
Partner Across Engineering: Work with Product Engineering, Data Center Operations and Engineering, IT, and Legal to land security improvements at the moments they're cheapest to adopt.
What they're looking for
- Balance Strategic and Tactical: Recognize when to invest in a long-term fix versus when "good enough" is exactly that, and bias toward measurable forward progress.
- + years of demonstrated security engineering experience, either directly as a: security engineer or as an engineer driving security outcomes. We also welcome equivalent backgrounds: significant formal security training paired with strong engineering experience.
- A track record of working across security domains; for example, shipping: detection work in one role and architecture, platform, or vulnerability management work in another. We don't expect mastery of every domain; we do expect demonstrated breadth and eagerness to learn.
- Thrives in high-speed, high-ambiguity startup environments where priorities: shift regularly and structure must be built while executing.
