We move fast, and we're tripling headcount this year.\nThe Mission\nWe're hiring for what's plausibly the most difficult, urgent, and interesting challenge in AI security engineering this decade (for humans, at least): designing and building the first datacenter purpose-built to Security Level 5, the standard for defending frontier AI labs against attackers with the resources of a nation-state and billion-dollar budgets. We're working on the first SL5 components this year and aiming for an at-scale SL5 datacenter build in 2027.\nWe wrote the first version of the standard with input from CISOs and senior security staff at the frontier labs, and US security and intelligence officials. Now we're designing the SL5 architectures purpose-built for frontier AI workloads, and standing up the reference tech stack to guide labs' buildouts. This stack has to hold against nation-states, not destroy researchers' productivity, not cost more than labs can pay, and ship in 2-3 years.\nWhat you’d work on\nBuilding up AI Security Fieldbuilding programs in our premises in SF, centered around increasing awareness, coordination and short term action on key issues in SL5, verification & surrounding AI Security topics\n\nCoordinating, curating & running custom workshops, panel discussions & conferences in our SL5 space, including in partnership with affiliated organisations or facilitating them hosting events in our spaces.\n\nFrom the ground up building an SL5 fellowship program to transition senior experts in security into impactful AI Security roles at frontier AI labs, SL5’s team, Lucid Computing, and other strongly endorsed security or verification third party organisations. The fellowship should run a first iteration in Q4 of this year. An additional focus could be training extremely high potential generalist engineers (eg. who might be especially strong at leveraging AI on security problems) to be AI Security specialists.\n\nHosting our quarterly SL5 Happy Hours & expanding the curated invite list\n\nDeveloping a community engagement strategy to make the SL5 SF Offices a thriving community hub, that has both high operational security and large reach to leading specialists across the Bay Area & Globally (eg. implementing ideas like collaborator lunches on specific days, hosting visitors for research stays, etc)\n\nYou would be a program lead for the fellowship, conferences & community events and own content, branding, invites, network building. You would receive input from the CEO on some initiatives and operational support from the SL5 ops team and events manager on executing these events.\n\nYou’d be a fit if you\nYou have a Bachelors or Equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Math or another SL5-related field.\n\nYou are a high agency individual, able to spot emergent project needs and grow to fill them\n\nHave run competitive fellowship programs before, that ran multiple iterations & had 10+ fellows per cohort.\n\nHave successfully recruited multiple people at the tier of “could get offers at AI Labs to work on Security”\n\nAre highly operationally skilled at running complex programs\n\nHave the right interpersonal skills and feel to navigate community health topics with the appropriate professionalism, nuance & mindfulness\n\nYou actively enjoy doing proactive outreach and interacting with many types of individuals across cultures, specialities, ages, etc. You’re good at making people feel welcome, included and contentwise engaged at events.\n\nBonus\nYou have run an international conference or industry-leading workshop\nLogistics\nBay Area, in-person. This role's base salary range is $150,000 - $220,000 USD per year. We may be open to paying exceptional and/or highly experienced employees more than this. We also provide full benefits, including healthcare, dental, vision, 401k match, and more.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4037,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Cybersecurity","Cybersecurity AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T03:01:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.293,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":65,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/security-level-5-sl5-fieldbuilder-fellowships","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/security-level-5-sl5-fieldbuilder-fellowships.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T15:34:07Z","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":21101,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1874358},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1874358"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsecurity-level-5-sl5-fieldbuilder-fellowships"},{"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%2Fsecurity-level-5-sl5-fieldbuilder-fellowships"},{"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%2Fsecurity-level-5-sl5-fieldbuilder-fellowships"},{"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/security-level-5-sl5-fieldbuilder-fellowships\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsecurity-level-5-sl5-fieldbuilder-fellowships"}]}
