The industry still relies on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect delivers a step change in system-level performance.\nThe Role\nWe build infrastructure for frontier AI, and we use AI to build it. Every team at OLIX works with AI tools, coding harnesses, models and agents, and we intend to use them more. We are hiring an AI Security Engineer to make that adoption safe without slowing it down.\nYou will map our AI footprint, secure our agents and their identities, protect our compute infrastructure, and build the controls that stop our IP and data leaving through AI systems. You will give teams a fast path to adopt new tools and make AI security measurable. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role with the freedom to define AI security at OLIX from the ground up.\nResponsibilities\nMap the AI footprint: build and maintain the inventory of AI tools, models, agents and data flows across the company.\n\nSecure agents: give every agent a managed identity, least-privilege access, logged actions and the right human approvals.\n\nBuild controls against AI threats: prompt injection, data leakage, model and package supply chain, unsafe agent actions and shadow AI.\n\nSecure AI infrastructure: harden the cloud compute our teams use to build and run AI workloads.\n\nMake AI security measurable: run our ISO 42001 self-assessment and feed AI security events into our SIEM.\n\nEnable safe adoption: review new AI tools within days and publish the guardrails teams need.\n\nSkills and experience\n5 or more years in security engineering, application security or cloud security, with at least 2 years securing AI or ML systems, LLM applications or agents.\n\nHands-on knowledge of LLM-specific threats and their mitigations.\n\nExperience securing agentic systems: tool permissions, MCP servers, credentials and human approval steps.\n\nAWS security experience and identity experience, ideally Okta.\n\nSoftware engineering in Python or TypeScript.\n\nDaily use of AI coding tools and agents in your own work.\n\nNice to have: experience with ISO 42001 or the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, or in a hardware or deep-tech company.\n\nCompensation and equity\nCompetitive salary: commensurate with your experience, skills and location.\n\nEquity and ownership: meaningful stock options.\n\nProximity bonus: an annual Living-Local Bonus if you live within 20 minutes of the office.\n\nRetirement benefits: employer-contributed retirement plans.\n\nDue to U.S. export control regulations, candidates' eligibility to work at OLIX depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3352,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Retirement plans","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T00:52:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":89,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":186487,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/olix-ai-security-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/olix-ai-security-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T14:35:36Z","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_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27117,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"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":678679},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678679"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Folix-ai-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%2Folix-ai-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%2Folix-ai-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/olix-ai-security-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Folix-ai-security-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3716244}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"olix.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3716244},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
