AI Security Engineer - Infrastructure Cloud

Job description

Emergent builds autonomous coding agents that replace traditional software development by generating, testing, and deploying production applications directly from plain-language intent. Our systems run in production at global scale and are used to build millions of real applications. Since our public launch, we've crossed **$100M in ARR** and grown to **over 10M users across 190+ countries**, who have built **12M+ applications** on Emergent. We're backed by **Creaegis, Claypond, Sentinel Global, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Google, Lightspeed, Prosus, Together, and Y Combinator.** We're solving the hard part of AI-driven software creation: correctness, reliability, security, and scale in real production systems. The team is built by **repeat founders, Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni,** and leaders from **Google, Amazon, and Dropbox.** We're hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale. **The Role:** Emergent runs a massive, multi-tenant, AI-driven execution environment where code is generated and executed continuously. You will secure the infrastructure that powers autonomous software creation. **What You'll Do:** Secure Multi-Tenant Execution Environments - Design sandboxing strategies for untrusted code execution - Prevent container escapes, privilege escalation, and lateral movement - Build isolation at compute, network, and storage layers Own Cloud Security Architecture - Harden AWS/GCP infrastructure across IAM, VPCs, secrets, and workloads - Design zero-trust systems across services - Build secure service-to-service communication Runtime Security and Detection - Build detection systems for abnormal execution patterns, malicious workloads, and data exfiltration attempts - Integrate logging, SIEM, and real-time alerting Secure CI/CD and Agent Pipelines - Protect build systems and deployment pipelines - Prevent supply chain attacks in AI-generated code - Ensure integrity of artifacts **What We're Looking For:** - 6 to 12 years in Cloud or Infrastructure Security - Deep experience with AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, containers, and IAM and secrets management - Strong understanding of container security, network security, and runtime protection **What Sets You Apart:** - Experience with sandboxed execution environments, serverless or ephemeral compute, and high-scale multi-tenant systems - You think like: "What happens when millions of unknown programs run on my infra?" **Why Join Us:** - Build security for AI systems that build software - Operate at global scale with millions of apps and millions of users - Work directly with founders and core engineering - Solve problems that don't exist anywhere else yet **Benefits and Perks:** 1.
