One that is proactive, multimodal, and capable of interacting with the world through speech, text, vision, and persistent memory.\nWe're pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. While today's AI largely operates through chat boxes and decade-old devices, Hark is focused on what comes next: agentic systems that interact naturally with people and the real world.\nTo get there, we're developing multimodal models and next-generation AI hardware together, designed from the ground up as a single, unified interface for a new era of intelligent systems.\nAbout the Role\nWe're hiring a Member of Technical Staff (Information Security Engineer) to secure the infrastructure and systems Hark runs on. You'll harden our AWS environments, own identity and access across the company, build detection and response, and lead incident response when things go wrong. We run model training, agent sandboxes, and hardware manufacturing pipelines, so the environment is broader and more interesting than a typical SaaS stack.\nThis role is hands-on; you'll be building and operating, not managing or auditing.\nResponsibilities\nHarden cloud infrastructure across multiple AWS accounts (IAM, EKS, VPC and network access paths, KMS) and review IaC for misconfigurations.\nOwn identity and access: SSO, least-privilege IAM, just-in-time access, secrets management, and access reviews.\nBuild and maintain detection and alerting pipelines; lead triage, containment, and post-incident review.\nSecure the corporate environment: endpoint management, SaaS security posture, and zero-trust network access.\nEvaluate third-party vendors and integrations for security and privacy risk.\nBuild the technical controls and evidence behind our compliance programs (SOC 2, GDPR) as automation, not spreadsheets.\nRequirements\n4-8 years of hands-on security engineering experience in cloud and infrastructure security.\nDeep fluency in AWS security (IAM, Organizations/SCPs, CloudTrail, EKS), network hardening, and cloud posture tooling like Wiz (or equivalent).\nExperience with detection engineering and incident response using tools like GuardDuty and CrowdStrike (or equivalent); you've triaged real alerts and contained real incidents.\nAbility to read and review infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform, or similar) for security issues.\nComfort writing code and automation (Python, Go, or similar) to eliminate manual security work.\nExperience administering identity and endpoint platforms like Google Workspace as IdP, Kandji, and CrowdStrike (or equivalent IdP, MDM, and EDR tools).\nBonus Qualifications\nExperience at a cloud security company (Wiz, Orca, Datadog, Snyk) or a security-forward startup (Stripe, Figma, Ramp, Netflix).\nFamiliarity with zero-trust networking and secrets tooling (Tailscale, Cloudflare, HashiCorp Vault).\nExperience securing ML infrastructure, GPU clusters, or hardware/manufacturing supply chains.\nHands-on experience building out a SOC 2 program at an early-stage company.\nCompensation\nThe US base salary range for this full-time position is between $150,000 - $300,000 annually.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3251,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T05:52:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":113,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hark-information-security-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hark-information-security-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T21:17:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":695,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4305,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":764},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=764"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhark-information-security-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhark-information-security-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhark-information-security-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hark-information-security-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhark-information-security-engineer"}]}
