As a Security Engineer at Magic, you will build the software, automation, and infrastructure that protect our models, systems, and engineering organization from both traditional and frontier AI cyber threats. You will respond to security threats, help us build good practices around security incident/threat response.
The role sits at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and security. You will work closely with researchers, infrastructure engineers, and platform teams to reduce risk while considering the productivity impact. You will help us make the secure path the easy, productive path.
The threat landscape is changing, supply chain attacks are a major concern, prompt injections and other LLM-native attack vectors are worrying. As frontier AI systems become increasingly capable, security is evolving beyond defending infrastructure alone. Modern models can autonomously discover vulnerabilities, chain exploits across multiple systems, manipulate agents through prompt injection, and escape “secure” containment.
AI safety is extremely important to us at Magic. You will collaborate with our alignment team on whatever they might need to ensure that Magic’s models are a safe net-benefit to the world.
