Full Job Description
Company Introduction At Bot Auto, we are revolutionizing the transportation of goods with our cutting-edge autonomous trucks, enhancing the quality of life for communities around the globe. With the agility of a start-up and the wisdom of seasoned experts, Bot Auto boasts a team that has achieved numerous world-firsts and unparalleled innovations. United by a shared vision, we create miracles and propel the future of transportation. Join us and transform your dreams into reality. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Software Engineer, Security Engineering to design, build, and operate security across Bot Auto's autonomous trucking stack. The proprietary technology that powers our autonomous driving system is our core intellectual property, and protecting it — along with the safety-relevant systems behind our fleet — is mission critical. In this role, you will work across onboard (in-vehicle) security as well as infrastructure and platform security. You will also help shape how Bot Auto adopts AI responsibly: understanding the security implications of large language models and agentic systems, and developing the protections that let us innovate quickly and safely. As a hands-on technical leader, you will embed security best practices into every layer of our systems, from the vehicle to the cloud. Key Responsibilities Design and implement security controls for onboard (in-vehicle) systems, including secure boot, code signing, secrets and key management, secure over-the-air (OTA) updates, and hardening of the autonomous driving software stack. Architect and operate security across infrastructure and platforms, spanning Kubernetes, public cloud (AWS), on-prem data centers, CI/CD pipelines, and internal developer platforms. Develop protections for AI systems — assess the security implications of large language models and agentic workflows (prompt injection, data exfiltration, model and supply-chain risks) and build guardrails, sandboxing, and monitoring.
