<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Role Summary:</h2>
<div>
We're looking for a strong software engineer who's drawn to security. Someone who would rather ship a paved road than write a policy, and who's excited by the prospect of building the security foundations for frontier-scale AI safety research. You don't need to be a career security specialist. You do need to be a genuinely good engineer who thinks adversarially, cares about getting the defaults right, and wants to go deep on security over the coming years.

Working as a hands-on engineer on AISI's Security Engineering team, building the secure-by-default patterns, reusable controls, and guardrails that the rest of the organisation builds on top of. You'll spend at least your first year focused on platform and product security, embedding safe practices across the development lifecycle, hardening our cloud and CI/CD foundations, and partnering with engineers to fix classes of issues rather than one-off bugs.

You'll build influence through enablement, not enforcement. Over time, you'll extend these patterns. We expect your security depth to grow on the job; we'll back that with mentorship, learning budget, and real ownership early. 

</div>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Responsibilities:</h2>
<ul><li>Write production-quality code and reusable infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, etc.) that delivers secure-by-default modules, bootstrap templates, and reference architectures</li>
<li>Build tooling for identity, secrets, environment isolation, and pipeline hardening</li>
<li>Develop and help maintain a baseline cloud control set (e.g. SCPs, logging, tagging) and improve cloud posture with automated feedback loops</li>
<li>Provide consulting and coaching to platform and product teams to support secure delivery</li>
<li>Threat model new and existing systems with research and core technology teams, and fix issues at the platform layer</li>
<li>Build provenance and integrity into the software supply chain (signing, attestation, artefact verification)</li>
<li>Help create detections and response playbooks, support post-incident reviews, and design for resilience</li>
<li>Align technical controls with governance and shared responsibility boundaries</li></ul> 

<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Profile requirements:</h2>

You may be a good fit if you have some of the following skills, experience, and attitudes:
<ul>
<li>Writing production-quality code at a fast pace, and designing, shipping, and maintaining complex tech products</li>
<li>A genuine pull towards security, you think adversarially, enjoy understanding how systems break, and want to make the secure path the default path</li>
<li>Strong Python and/or another production language, including the good vs. bad ways of doing things and a feel for the wider ecosystem and tooling</li>
<li>Experience building and maintaining systems on AWS or other cloud providers using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, etc.)</li>
<li>Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and the software development lifecycle</li>
<li>You take the trajectory of frontier AI seriously, and you're motivated by the mission of making it safe</li>
<li>Strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to build influence in cross-functional environments</li>
<li>Improving technical standards across a team through mentoring and feedback</li>
</ul>
Motivated candidates are encouraged to apply even if you don't meet all the above criteria. We care more about engineering ability, security instinct, and trajectory than a long security CV.

Artificial Intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience. Where plagiarism has been identified (presenting the ideas and experiences of others, or generated by artificial intelligence, as your own) applications may be withdrawn and internal candidates may be subject to disciplinary action. Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.
<h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Internal Fraud Database</h3>

The Internal Fraud function of the Fraud, Error, Debt and Grants Function at the Cabinet Office processes details of civil servants who have been dismissed for committing internal fraud, or who would have been dismissed had they not resigned. The Cabinet Office receives the details from participating government organisations of civil servants who have been dismissed, or who would have been dismissed had they not resigned, for internal fraud. In instances such as this, civil servants are then banned for 5 years from further employment in the civil service. The Cabinet Office then processes this data and discloses a limited dataset back to DLUHC as a participating government organisations. DLUHC then carry out the pre employment checks so as to detect instances where known fraudsters are attempting to reapply for roles in the civil service. In this way, the policy is ensured and the repetition of internal fraud is prevented. For more information please see - Internal Fraud Register.

Frontier Research Engineer, Security

Resolution

<div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader">About Resolution</h1>
Resolution does research on how to align artificial superintelligence (ASI). ASI may be developed in the next few years, but it is unclear whether alignment is on track to be ready in the same timeframe. We aim at higher a priori confidence in aligned outcomes by pursuing a portfolio of theory and empirics bets, any one of which &mdash; if it succeeds &mdash; would meaningfully advance the field. We invest heavily in research automation to accelerate progress, and we believe that stronger alignment theory unlocks higher automation: more principled approaches give us better filters for which directions of automated research are promising.
Resolution was founded in 2026 by researchers from UK AISI's Alignment Team, who ran the &pound;30m Alignment Project, and Timaeus, who pioneered applying singular learning theory to alignment.
For more information, see our announcement.<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
About the Team</h1>
Resolution's work will involve sensitive frontier-relevant research and partnerships with AI labs. This role exists both to protect that work and to enable it: good security is what makes deeper lab partnerships possible. We draw a distinction between two closely related areas of security:<ul><li>
Research &amp; infrastructure security. Securing how research actually runs: CI/CD pipelines, automated research agents, multi-cloud compute, and code/data/model-weight handling.</li><li>
Corporate IT &amp; security. The endpoint, identity, and collaboration scaffolding a distributed research org runs on, in combination with the compliance frameworks that unlock lab partnerships.</li></ul>
This role focuses on the former, covering security on the technical side of the organization. You would report to senior leadership and work closely with our security and engineering teams (as well as with our operations team).
In practice, we expect to grow the security team one hire at a time, so your initial set of responsibilities is likely to span both areas. We expect the distinction to clarify over time.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
About the Role</h2>
You are the security architect for our research pipeline. You'll define how we securely conduct research across multiple cloud environments, partnering closely with engineering to make CI/CD, automated research agents, and large-scale compute secure by default. You would build a hardened environment where researchers and agents iterate at speed without risking data leakage, supply-chain compromise, and other security failures.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Responsibilities</h2>
1. Secure DevSecOps &amp; CI/CD Orchestration<ul><li>
Pipeline Hardening: Build security guardrails directly into our CI/CD pipelines. Ensure that every deployment, whether manual or agent-driven, is automatically scanned, verified, and compliant.</li><li>
Automated Verification: Establish workflows where our agents can test their own code and infrastructure changes against security policies before deploying to production environments.</li><li>
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Lead the implementation of &quot;Compliance as Code.&quot; Automate the auditing and enforcement of security configurations across our AWS, GCP &amp; neocloud footprints.</li></ul>
2. Supply Chain Security for Automated Research<ul><li>
Provenance and Integrity: In an environment where we rely heavily on automated coding agents, build systems to ensure the provenance of code and dependencies. Implement robust signing, SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation, and automated vulnerability management.</li><li>
Agent Sandbox Security: Define and enforce security models for our research agents. Ensure that agents have the &quot;least privilege&quot; access required to execute experiments while remaining isolated from sensitive IP and credentials.</li></ul>
3. Multi-Cloud Research Infrastructure<ul><li>
Compute Security: Manage the security architecture for our high-compute research environments. We operate in a multi-cloud ecosystem; you will be responsible for consistent, zero-trust network segmentation and identity management across disparate cloud providers.</li><li>
Research Data Protection: Develop and maintain the data handling protocols necessary for working with pre-publication research and potentially sensitive model weights.</li></ul>
4. Enabling Frontier Access<ul><li>
Compliance as a Competitive Advantage: Partner with AI labs to navigate security audits. You will bridge the gap between our &quot;move fast&quot; research culture and the high-bar security requirements of frontier model providers, turning compliance into an accelerator for our research agenda.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
You May Be a Good Fit If You</h2><ul><li>
Are a seasoned security engineer who writes code, with deep experience in Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).</li><li>
Have managed security across multiple cloud providers (AWS / GCP / neoclouds) and understand the nuance of securing ephemeral, high-compute research clusters.</li><li>
Take a pragmatic approach to modern software supply chains and understand the unique risks of AI-driven development and how to mitigate them without killing velocity.</li><li>
Understand the threat model of a high-value target for state-level actors and IP theft, and can build systems robust against sophisticated adversaries.</li><li>
Can explain complex security trade-offs to lead researchers and scientists, saying &quot;yes, safely&quot; rather than just &quot;no.&quot;</li><li>
Are willing to use AI tools aggressively in your own workflow, with appropriate care to not get fooled!</li><li>
Are motivated by alignment of artificial superintelligence (ASI) and want to contribute to it full-time.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Why This Role is Unique</h2>
At this organization, &quot;Corporate Security&quot; is a separate function. This role is focused on the Research Infrastructure. You will be working at the frontier of how automated alignment research is actually done. You will be building the security primitives for a new way of doing science: one where humans and machines collaborate to solve the most important problem of the 21st century.<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
Logistics</h1>
Salary: Your salary depends on the scope, autonomy, and impact we expect you to have while working at Resolution. The expected range of in-person salaries for this role is:<ul><li>
L4 (SWE II): $346,000
</li><li>L5 (Senior SWE): $451,000
</li><li>L6 (Staff SWE): $670,000
</li><li>L7 (Senior Staff SWE): $930,000
</li></ul>We level using an internal adaptation of Google's standard levelling; the band above is indicative of where a strong candidate might come in.
Location: Berkeley, California. Remote may be considered in exceptional cases.
Benefits:<ul><li>
5 weeks of paid vacation per year, in addition to public holidays.</li><li>
Comprehensive healthcare insurance (medical, dental, vision).</li><li>
Unlimited sick leave to prioritize your well-being.</li><li>
An unconditional 401(k) contribution equal to 4% of your salary.</li></ul>
Visa sponsorship: We can sponsor visas for relocation to Berkeley.
Minimum education: A bachelor's degree in a field relevant to the role, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or professional experience that demonstrates comparable knowledge.
Deadline: Applications are rolling &mdash; please apply ASAP. We'll respond to applications within one week of receipt.
Start date: ASAP.
