Details

  • Own the threat model across Menlo Platform: Robot API, Asimov API, Uranus, Cyclotron, and the deployment loop
  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive security framework spanning Menlo Cloud and on-premise robot deployments at customer and operator sites
  • Design and enforce RBAC and modern authentication protocols across the fleet and developer platform
  • Implement end-to-end encryption for data at rest and in transit, covering robotic telemetry, sensor streams, and training data
  • Establish secure and auditable remote access solutions for engineers troubleshooting robots in the field
  • Define and enforce the trust model across Platform APIs, covering authentication, authorization, and agent identity
  • Model attack surfaces in the agent-to-hardware translation layer, with focus on safety envelope bypass, rollback integrity, and telemetry tampering
  • Own secrets management, credential lifecycle, and supply chain security for Platform dependencies
  • Audit and harden infrastructure deployments across IaC tooling including Terraform, Helm, and Ansible
  • Build and maintain tooling for vulnerability management, secret scanning, dependency auditing, and incident detection
  • Embed security review into the deployment loop: packaging, versioning, and rollback pipelines
  • Partner with Infrastructure on security requirements for Menlo Cloud without owning the infrastructure itself

What We're Looking For

  • 5 or more years as a software or security engineer with strong hands-on security depth
  • Experience defining security boundaries in distributed systems, including hybrid cloud and on-premise environments
  • Hands-on Linux systems engineering and networking experience
  • Proficiency with IaC tooling such as Terraform, Helm, or Ansible
  • Experience with Kubernetes and securing containerized environments
  • Ability to threat model novel attack surfaces, including hardware-adjacent or agent-driven software
  • Proficiency in Python or Go
  • Comfortable operating as the first security hire, without a team or playbook to fall back on
  • Strong engineering judgment and clear written communication

Bonus Points

  • Experience with robotics, embedded systems, or IoT security
  • Familiarity with agentic frameworks, LLM infrastructure, or AI platform security
  • Prior work in environments with physical safety requirements
  • Contributions to open-source security tooling or research
  • Experience with secure remote access solutions for industrial or field-deployed hardware
