Security Engineer Infrastructure

Infrastructure Security Engineer

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 infra (IAM, VPCs, secrets, workloads)
• Design zero-trust systems across services
• Build secure service-to-service communication

Runtime security & detection

• Build detection systems for:
• abnormal execution patterns
• malicious workloads
• 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

• 6–12 years in Cloud / Infrastructure Security
• Deep experience in:
• AWS/GCP
• Kubernetes, containers
• IAM & secrets management
• Strong understanding of:
• container security
• network security
• runtime protection

What Sets You Apart

• Experience with:
• sandboxed execution environments
• serverless or ephemeral compute
• high-scale multi-tenant systems
• You think like:
• “What happens when millions of unknown programs run on my infra?”

Why Emergent

• Build security for AI systems that build software
• Operate at global scale (millions of apps, millions of users)
• Work directly with founders and core engineering
• Solve problems that don’t exist anywhere else yet
