Company mission
To help create a world in which aircrafts fly themselves, using artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, and automation.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in an IT/Infrastructure Security, Security Operations (SecOps), or Corporate Infrastructure Security role
- Strong, fundamental understanding of endpoint operating systems (macOS and Windows 11) and how to securely configure them at scale via MDM platforms (e.g., Jamf, Intune, Kandji)
- Deep understanding of SSL certificates, PKI infrastructure, and credential management
- Solid networking fundamentals and understanding of secure network architecture (VLAN segmentation, Zero Trust Network Access/ZTNA, Firewalls, WiFi security)
- Scripting proficiency in languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell to automate security operations and log ingestion
- Experience with modern endpoint protection tools (EDR/XDR) and log management/SIEM platforms
What the job involves
- As a Security Engineer working on our infrastructure, you will be a crucial part of our IT and Security team
- Your work will improve and increase our hardening and defense of Reliable’s internal infrastructure
- You will work closely with Client Platform engineers and the rest of the IT team to build and deploy our managed security tools
- Efforts will involve client platform onboarding automation, reviewing cloud solutions and configurations and adapting them to our needs. You will focus heavily on securing the end-user experience by providing secure solutions
- In your role as Security Engineer you will be responsible for the design, implementation and monitoring of security tools supporting the business’ internal needs and safety requirements. You will be involved in securing daily drivers, as well as supporting development infrastructure for our products
- EDR and client security: Partnering with the client platform team, and working with affected users, you will be responsible for enforcing security configurations on all endpoints (macOS, Windows, iOS, Android) utilizing the appropriate tools for the job
- Identity and Access Management: Design and maintain manageable access control schemes, manage SaaS AAA and provide zero-trust designs (and implementations) for SSO
- Automation & Infra: Meet the automation requirements of the team by taking advantage of infrastructure as code systems in supported use, building reproducible solutions with adequate documentation to repair and manage those systems and being open to critique
- Incident Response and Ops work: Be able to perform Log Analysis, participate in threat hunting exercises and be capable of investigating security alerts from EDR or externally provided IOCs
- Collaboration and resilience: At Reliable we design robust systems for the purpose at hand that are easy to maintain. We demand the same level of collaboration and resiliency between our teams and our systems
Our take
The landscape of vehicles is rapidly changing with automation and robotics seeing application in cars, trucks, and even spacecraft. Whilst aeroplanes have seen semi-automatic pilot modes for decades, a human pilot is still required to fine-tune automated processes and to conduct routine tasks such as taxiing and landings.
Reliable Robotics provides self-driving technology to allow small cargo planes to make routine cargo deliveries without a pilot. Founded by former SpaceX and Tesla engineers, the company claims that all cognitive abilities required to fly a plane can be automated through machine learning and remote pilot assistance. This will allow cargo planes to utilise the thousands of smaller airports and rural landing strips that are currently underused due to the difficulty of manual landing in areas with poor infrastructure.
The company has attracted significant funding over the years, which is being used in research and development and improving the capabilities of its autonomous aircraft systems. Going forward, the company plans to outfit larger cargo planes with its technology and eventually trial autonomous passenger flights. In 2024, it won funding from the US Air Force, and in 2025, it partnered with NASA. These developments indicate the US aerospace and military sectors' interest in Reliable's technology.
