Confero
Hiring Staff/Principal Software and Security Engineers for IAM, AppSec and AI Security vendors
PRODUCT SECURITY ENGINEER | ROBOTICS AI STARTUP
Confero have partnered with a Series B robotics company ($435M raised) that is building general-purpose robotic intelligence - one AI system that can control any robot for any task.
Right now, robots are specialists. A factory arm can't work in a warehouse, and a warehouse bot can't drive a forklift. This company cracked the generalist problem: one AI brain that learns once and works across completely different machines and environments. It's the GPT moment for robotics.
The Security Challenge:
Securing AI on physical robots is an unsolved problem - you've got the same AI running on completely different hardware - some robots have strong security built in, others don't. The AI needs to stay protected on all of them.
When cloud security fails, a server crashes. When robot security fails, a physical machine breaks in the real world.
What You'd Build:
Product security infrastructure:
Threat modelling with robotics engineers, architecting the platform
Foundational security infrastructure (secrets management, certificate rotation, secure bootstrapping)
Hardware security:
Hardening firmware and embedded systems across heterogeneous platforms
Confidential computing (Intel SGX/TDX, AMD SEV, ARM TrustZone)
Securing physical interfaces (USB, JTAG, UART) and full disk encryption
Defence against physical attacks and model extraction
You:
>8 years in product security with hands-on hardware/embedded experience
Deep Linux internals and systems programming
Applied cryptography (implemented protocols, not just used libraries)
Built security programs from 0→1, not maintained existing ones
Bonus:
Confidential computing, secure boot implementations, first security hire experience
Seniority level:
Mid-Senior level
Employment type:
Full-time
Job function:
