Securityengineer,detectionandresponse

📐 About the role Join WRITER's security team as a staff detection and response engineer and help protect the AI infrastructure that's transforming how the world works. You'll build sophisticated detection systems that identify attacks targeting our AI platform, training data, and model deployments while creating automated response capabilities that scale with our explosive growth. This isn't just traditional security work – you're defending cutting-edge AI/AGI systems against adversaries who are evolving their tactics as fast as AI itself advances. This role combines hands-on security engineering with strategic thinking to stay ahead of novel threats that don't exist in textbooks yet. You'll be the operational arm of our security function, translating threat intelligence into real-time detections, coordinating incident response across multiple teams, and hunting for sophisticated attacks across GPU clusters and distributed training environments. If you're excited by the challenge of securing systems that are fundamentally different from anything you've protected before, this is your opportunity to define what AI security engineering looks like at scale. You'll work closely with our AI Security research team, Cloud Infrastructure, Software Security Engineering, and AI researchers to build a defense-in-depth strategy that protects one of the most valuable AI platforms in the industry. The threats are real, the stakes are high, and the problems are intellectually fascinating. This role can be based out of our San Francisco office, reporting to our head of security operations. 🦸🏻‍♀️ What you’ll do - Design and implement detection strategies that identify AI-specific threats including prompt injection, model extraction, data poisoning, adversarial examples, and unauthorized access to training datasets or model weights across our distributed infrastructure - Build automated response playbooks and orchestration workflows that contain threats without human intervention,
