Security Engineer

About the role

PIP Labs is an R&D company contributing to the development of the DATA Network, open infrastructure that enables real human data to be sourced, proven and processed for AI training. The network is stewarded by the DATA Foundation, which supports its long-term development, integrity and permissionless nature. The Foundation also maintains Trace, the network’s public audit layer, where the provenance, consent, licensing and payment history associated with data records can be verified.

We are looking for a hands-on Security Engineer to own and strengthen security across PIP Labs’ cloud environment, endpoints and internal systems, while also supporting related companies, including Poseidon, across the broader ecosystem. You will balance day-to-day security operations with the automation required to manage a growing, globally distributed environment effectively.

This is a practical ownership role for someone who communicates clearly, moves quickly and is comfortable getting into the details. You will investigate alerts, improve controls, support employees and engineers, and implement fixes directly. As the ecosystem works with increasingly valuable real-world data, you will also help strengthen how that data, and the systems surrounding it, are accessed and protected.

What you’ll do -

Own day-to-day security operations across PIP Labs and related companies, including monitoring, alert triage, incident response and remediation.

-

Secure and administer our AWS environment, with some exposure to Google Cloud, and continuously improve our cloud security posture.

-

Manage endpoint security and device controls using tools such as CrowdStrike and Jamf.

-

Automate recurring security and IT workflows so that controls can scale across multiple companies without unnecessary manual work.

-

Partner with infrastructure and engineering teams to identify risks, improve configurations and ship practical fixes, including contributing code or pull requests where appropriate.

-

Own dependency hygiene and software supply chain security, ensuring third-party code is appropriately vetted, pinned and continuously monitored for compromise.

-

Support identity, access, device and other internal IT security needs for a globally distributed team.

-

Develop and maintain clear security procedures, playbooks and documentation.

-

Help assess and strengthen how sensitive and valuable real-world datasets are ingested, stored, accessed and protected across the DATA Network ecosystem.

-

Contribute to security readiness in a high-threat environment, including protection against targeted account compromise, credential theft and sophisticated social-engineering attempts.

What we’re looking for -

Professional experience in cloud security, IT security, security engineering or a closely related role.
