About The Position

As a Member of Technical Staff - Engineering (Security), you will own security across Collinear's infrastructure, products, and customer data. Collinear builds RL environments and training data for frontier AI labs and large enterprises. They trust Collinear with sensitive data and access to their systems, and many of their environments run AI agents that are being trained to find and exploit vulnerabilities. This is a senior, hands-on role. You will work alongside Collinear's researchers and engineering team to set the direction for, and implement, new security measures.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in security engineering, much of it securing cloud infrastructure in production
• Deep hands-on experience with AWS security, including IAM, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, KMS, and VPC design
• An offensive security background, such as penetration testing, red teaming, or vulnerability research, and use it to decide what to defend first
• Experience isolating untrusted workloads with containers or microVMs, using tools such as gVisor, Firecracker, or Kata Containers, and know where that isolation tends to fail
• Production-quality code writing skills, ideally in Python, and preference for automation over manual process
• Experience building or growing a security program at a startup, and know how to prioritize when you can't fix everything at once
• Ability to explain risk clearly to engineers, leadership, and customers' security teams

Responsibilities

• Harden the sandboxes where AI agents run untrusted code, including cyber tasks where agents are actively trying to break out
• Own AWS security, including IAM design, least-privilege access, network boundaries, and short-lived credentials in place of long-lived keys
• Build detection and response across our cloud and Kubernetes environments, and tune alerts so the team acts on them
• Protect customer data from the moment it arrives to the moment we deliver, including access controls, secure delivery, and PII removal at terabyte scale
• Lead customer security reviews and compliance work, from security questionnaires and supplier onboarding to SOC 2
• Secure our software supply chain, including dependencies, CI/CD, secrets, and our GitHub organization
• Set guardrails for engineers and coding agents that work directly against production infrastructure
• Test our systems the way an attacker would, and fix what you find
