Poseidon is an AI data infrastructure company focused on sourcing and delivering high-quality real-world data for AI training. It works closely with PIP Labs, an R&D company contributing to the development of the DATA Network, open infrastructure for sourcing, processing and verifying human-generated data.
We are looking for a hands-on Security Engineer to support both Poseidon and PIP Labs, owning security across their cloud environments, endpoints, internal systems and data infrastructure. This is a practical ownership role for someone who communicates clearly, moves quickly and is comfortable supporting growing, globally distributed teams.
What you'll do
-
Own day-to-day security operations across Poseidon and PIP Labs, including monitoring, alert triage, incident response and remediation.
-
Secure and administer our AWS environments, with some exposure to Google Cloud, and continuously improve our cloud security posture.
-
Manage endpoint security and device controls using tools such as CrowdStrike and Jamf.
-
Automate recurring security and IT workflows so controls can scale across both organizations without unnecessary manual work.
-
Partner with infrastructure and engineering teams to identify risks, improve configurations and ship practical fixes, including contributing code or pull requests where appropriate.
-
Own dependency hygiene and software supply chain security, ensuring third-party code is appropriately vetted, pinned and continuously monitored for compromise.
-
Support identity, access, device and other internal IT security needs for globally distributed teams.
-
Develop and maintain clear security procedures, playbooks and documentation.
-
Help strengthen how sensitive and valuable real-world datasets are ingested, stored, accessed and protected across Poseidon, PIP Labs and the broader DATA Network ecosystem.
-
Contribute to security readiness in a high-threat environment, including protection against targeted account compromise, credential theft and sophisticated social-engineering attempts.
What we're looking for
-
Professional experience in cloud security, IT security, security engineering or a closely related role.
-
Strong practical knowledge of AWS security, including identity and access management, logging, monitoring and secure configuration.
-
Experience operating endpoint detection and response and device-management tooling. Experience with CrowdStrike and Jamf is strongly preferred.
-
A track record of automating operational workflows through scripting, APIs, infrastructure tooling, agents or security orchestration.
-
Comfort handling both security engineering and hands-on internal IT responsibilities.
-
A proactive, low-ego approach. You identify gaps, propose solutions and follow work through to completion.
-
Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate clearly across technical and non-technical teams.
-
Sound judgment under pressure and a practical approach to balancing security, speed and usability.
Nice to have
-
Experience securing data platforms, ingestion pipelines or environments that hold high-value datasets.
-
Familiarity with Google Cloud or Google Workspace administration and security.
-
Experience working in Web3, blockchain or another environment exposed to persistent, sophisticated threat actors.
-
Experience supporting multiple companies, business units or portfolio organizations through a shared security function.
What success looks like
-
Security coverage remains reliable and responsive across Poseidon and PIP Labs' cloud environments, endpoints and employee systems.
-
High-priority risks and alerts are investigated quickly, communicated clearly and driven through remediation.
-
Manual work decreases as repeatable security and IT workflows become automated.
-
Infrastructure and engineering teams across both organizations have a trusted, hands-on security partner who helps them ship safely.
