Staff / Principal Security Engineer, AI Safety and Security
Your Impact at LILA
Lila is developing AI systems for scientific discovery, connecting advanced models with scientific tools and automated laboratories. As these systems become more capable, we need to understand how they could be misused or compromised, which protections matter most, and how to establish that those protections work together.
We're hiring an experienced security practitioner to lead this work at the boundary between AI safety and security. You will investigate real systems, develop threat models, test important assumptions and recommend the protections needed for particular capabilities and deployments. Your work will address both dangerous misuse and the protection of sensitive models, data and research.
This is an opportunity to help shape a developing area of AI safety through security practice. You will combine technical investigation with careful analysis and clear writing, working closely with our established Security team, researchers and engineers to turn findings into implemented improvements.
You will bring security depth and develop your understanding of model capabilities, evaluations and safeguards through that work. Prior experience in AI safety is welcome, but not required.
