Security Engineer – HPC & Compute Infrastructure

What happens when you combine large-scale Linux environments, high-performance compute, complex research infrastructure and rapidly evolving AI workloads?

You get some very interesting security problems.

I’m working with an exceptionally technical research organisation in New York that is looking for Security Engineers to help secure the computing infrastructure behind some incredibly complex engineering and research.

This isn’t a role for someone whose experience has been limited to operating security products. We’re particularly interested in engineers who understand how large-scale computing infrastructure actually works.

Maybe you’ve secured HPC or GPU clusters. Maybe you’ve spent years around large Linux estates, bare-metal infrastructure or research computing. Or maybe you started as a Linux, systems, infrastructure or platform engineer and gradually became the person everyone came to with the difficult security problems.

The role is deliberately broad. You’ll work across infrastructure security, hardening, vulnerability management, detection, automation and engineering, while solving emerging security challenges around AI and agentic systems — including isolation, execution, permissions and access to sensitive systems and data.

You don’t need to be an AI security specialist. You do need to enjoy getting under the hood, understanding how systems work and solving security problems that don’t necessarily have an off-the-shelf answer.

There are multiple hires available, and exceptional compensation is on offer to reflect the calibre and technical background of the engineers we’re looking for.

Hybrid in Manhattan, Tuesday–Thursday. Relocation support available within the US.

If your background sits somewhere between Linux, HPC, large-scale compute and security engineering, I’d love to hear from you.
