Role
Who you are
- If you thrive in ambiguity, care deeply about getting security right, and want real ownership over foundational systems, this role is for you
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in DevSecOps, Security Engineering, Platform Engineering, or SRE
- Demonstrated success building and deploying security systems from the ground up
- Strong automation skills with at least one scripting language (Python, Go, or similar)
- Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform strongly preferred; CloudFormation acceptable)
- Strong cloud security experience, ideally in AWS
- Experience securing containerized workloads (ECS and/or Kubernetes)
- Solid understanding of security fundamentals including: Threat modeling, Incident response, Observability and detection and Runtime and infrastructure security
- We at webAI are committed to living out the core values we have put in place as the foundation on which we operate as a team. We seek individuals who exemplify the following:
- Truth - Emphasizing transparency and honesty in every interaction and decision
- Ownership - Taking full responsibility for one’s actions and decisions, demonstrating commitment to the success of our clients
- Tenacity - Persisting in the face of challenges and setbacks, continually striving for excellence and improvement
- Humility - Maintaining a respectful and learning-oriented mindset, acknowledging the strengths and contributions of others
What the job involves
- We are looking for a senior, mission-driven DevSecOps Engineer to partner closely with our security leadership and help build a world-class, resilient, and secure engineering ecosystem at webAI
- This is not a “ticket-closing” role. This is a builder role
- You will have a rare greenfield opportunity to design, implement, and own the core security systems that protect our company, our platform, and our customers
- You will shape how security is embedded into our infrastructure, pipelines, and engineering culture from the ground up, without unnecessary bureaucracy or friction
- Own and operate the core infrastructure that powers webAI’s security program, including security observability, detection, and protection platforms. Design systems that are resilient, scalable, and secure by default
- Lead the implementation of a unified logging and SIEM solution by partnering with engineering and platform teams to centralize application, infrastructure, and security logs in Datadog, enabling real-time monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response
- Build and maintain an automated Public Asset Inventory to provide a real-time view of webAI’s public-facing attack surface and eliminate shadow IT
- Embed security into the CI/CD pipeline by owning SAST, SCA, and DAST tooling and creating scalable workflows that ensure findings are effectively triaged and remediated with minimal developer friction
- Select, deploy, and own runtime protection tooling to enable runtime threat detection, file integrity monitoring, and micro-segmentation for containerized workloads
- Act as a senior security partner to engineering teams, providing guidance on secure architecture, leading threat modeling, supporting incident response, and shaping a strong, pragmatic security culture
Our take
On a mission to democratize artificial intelligence, WebAI has built a decentralized development platform that minimizes the amount of data required to build AI models. This directly challenges the assumption that big data is intrinsic to AI, and enables for local, ownable and customizable models to be made.
The company's unified execution layer helps to streamline the training and deployment of models in a way which is both scalable and flexible. Enterprises can use their existing infrastructure to run powerful models while ensuring their data never leaves their devices. Plus, they can tailor each model to their needs with no coding needed.
WebAI believes that off-the-shelf AI models lack the flexibility and control required to be used in real-world tasks, which is what its platform helps to combat. This approach has attracted impressive investment that will be used to grow its development efforts and elevate its mission to democratize AI.
