Role
Who you are
- Even if you don’t check every box but feel you could make an impact, we encourage you to apply
- 7-10 years of hands-on cloud infrastructure experience, AWS preferred
- 3+ years demonstrated success at designing, implementing, deploying, securing, and monitoring highly-available, critical production systems
- Hands-on experience with a variety of technologies and approaches in both the cloud infrastructure and security spaces. Ex: identity, workload hardening, networking, secure-by-default settings
- Demonstrated experience with software development, dev-ops, and deploying to cloud environments
- Experience performing threat modeling and design reviews to assess security implications and requirements for introducing new technologies
- Experience with corporate security including endpoint management, EDR, and access management preferred
- Experience with terraform preferred
- Experience supporting compliance certification processes through collecting and providing control evidence (e.g., HIPAA, SOC, SOC2) is a plus
- Strong verbal and written cross-functional communication skills
What the job involves
- As a cloud infrastructure and security engineer on the team, you will help architect not only the cloud services behind our product offerings, but also mission critical infrastructure used by our research teams
- You will build in secure-by-design guardrails, ensuring our work meets the security requirements of our enterprise customers
- Lastly, you will also help the team improve our workflows while establishing and implementing security best practices and policies
- At EvolutionaryScale, we are trying to create the best foundational protein models responsibly and securely. You will play an integral role in making this happen while working at the intersection of AI and Biology
- Collaborate with engineers to design, build, and validate secure and scalable cloud architectures for our product and research offerings
- Develop and Deploy security guardrails through reusable patterns to implement secure-by-design principles
- Implement information security controls, patterns, and processes that support risk assessments, secure outcomes, and meet the secure requirements of our external partners and customers
- Develop and mature access management capabilities to ensure safe and secure access to important cloud resources for researchers and production
- Advocate and establish security best practices among the teams
- Improve workflows and elevate engineering and research productivity
- Beyond the above core responsibilities, we expect the ideal candidate be able to also contribute significantly to some of the below additional responsibilities:
- Implement automated cloud infrastructure security scanning, detection, and alerting for the cloud infrastructure and product offering
- Participate with vendors in the compliance certification process (SOC2, etc), interfacing across engineering team when necessary. Support the controls/evidence gathering and be the primary technical POC
- Select and integrate vendor offerings (cloud security posture management, data loss prevention, IT vendors for EDR, etc.)
Our take
EvolutionaryScale, an AI startup pioneering the 'ChatGPT moment for biology', is at the forefront of transforming the field with its ground-breaking technology. Backed by Amazon Web Services and NVIDIA's venture capital arm, the company aims to revolutionize biology through artificial intelligence.
Central to EvolutionaryScale's mission is ESM3, the first large language model for creating novel proteins. It leverages a vast dataset of nearly 2.8 billion proteins, plus computational tools that analyze protein sequence, structure and function simultaneously. This can help accelerate drug discovery, as well as enable sustainable solutions through engineered microbes.
EvolutionaryScale's approach should help accelerate scientific breakthroughs and enhance precision in biotechnological applications. The company's success hinges on its ethical use of AI to tackle these challenges, by accelerating protein engineering beyond natural evolution so that it can be put to use against our greatest problems.
