From Lambda's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.
If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.
*Note: This position requires presence in our Bellevue, San Francisco, or San Jose office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.
Lambda Security protects some of the world's most valuable digital assets: invaluable training data, model weights representing immense computational investments, and the sensitive inputs required to leverage best of breed AI models. We're responsible for securing every byte that powers breakthrough artificial intelligence.
Reporting to the CISO, you'll be a principal technical leader responsible for shaping Lambda's overall security architecture, with a primary focus on Data Protection and Platform Security. Your work will define secure-by-default foundational patterns across our core AI infrastructure, hardware/GPU platform layers, multi-cloud control planes, and end-to-end data lifecycles.
You will directly impact the security posture of our high-performance computing environment by architecting robust data loss prevention (DLP), encryption at rest and in transit, key management (KMS/HSM), confidential computing, and tenant isolation models. Leveraging Lambda's hosted LLMs, you'll pioneer AI-driven security architecture capabilities—such as automated threat modeling, sensitive data discovery, and platform policy verification.
If you're excited about setting the architectural vision for data protection and platform security in the world's most demanding AI infrastructure, we want to talk.
We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and we are excited to hear from candidates who can bring unique perspectives to our team. If you do not exactly meet this description but believe you may be a good fit, please still apply and help us understand your readiness for a Staff Security Architect role.
Your application is not a waste of our time.
10+ years of total engineering experience with 5+ years specializing in security architecture, platform security, or data protection at cloud/infrastructure scale
Deep expertise in data security concepts including encryption key management (KMS/HSM), cryptographic protocols, DLP, and confidential computing primitives
Proven track record of designing multi-tenant platform security architecture across heterogeneous infrastructure (bare-metal GPU clusters, hypervisors, KVM, Kubernetes, and public cloud)
Nice to Have
Excitement about leveraging our direct access to state-of-the-art LLMs to revolutionize enterprise security—imagine AI-assisted access reviews, automated SaaS risk assessments, and intelligent policy generation.
Experience driving or providing significant evidence for compliance audits, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, or FedRAMP.
