Security Engineer, Kubernetes
xAI, Austin, TX +4
The role
We protect the platform that runs X and SpaceXSI. We don’t just report issues, we actively look for real risks and exploits in our Kubernetes environments and turn them into durable fixes and tooling. You will secure the platform behind X and SpaceXSI’s infrastructure, products, and workloads. If you know pod and platform security, think in attack paths, and want to build the defenses that make the platform safer at scale, we want to hear from you.
We value a understanding of how Kubernetes can actually be abused – not just how it is configured. We prioritize shipping practical controls and tooling over writing policy documents, applying least privilege and defense-in-depth at fleet scale, delivering clear findings and fixes that platform teams can act on, and conducting safe, constrained validation that does not put production at risk.
