Security Engineer

As a Security Engineer at Nous Research, you'll own security end-to-end across our infrastructure, products, and enterprise deployments. Nous builds open-source AI language models and agents, including Hermes Agent, which is used by consumers and Fortune 500 enterprises across multi-tenant SaaS, dedicated VPC, self-hosted, and air-gapped environments.

This is a hands-on-keyboard role for someone who wants to harden multi-cloud infrastructure, secure a novel agentic AI platform, and build the security foundation regulated enterprise customers demand. You'll be the person focused full-time on protecting the company while helping the rest of the team continue shipping quickly.
