Job Description
Magic’s mission is to build safe AGI that accelerates humanity’s progress on the world’s most important problems. We believe the most promising path to safe AGI lies in automating research and code generation to improve models and solve alignment more reliably than humans can alone. Our approach combines frontier-scale pre-training, domain-specific RL, ultra-long context, and inference-time compute to achieve this goal.

About the role:
As Principal Security Engineer, your primary job is to ensure our model weights and code stay within the company. We treat our model weights with the same importance as a government would treat its nuclear codes. They are the result of tens of millions of dollars in compute investment and invaluable internal research breakthroughs. In the wrong hands, they could cause significant harm.
You will architect, implement and maintain robust security solutions to protect our AI systems, IP, product and data from a wide range of threats. This is a hands-on role - you will code a lot.
What you might work on:
- Implement and measure progress towards the security goals in our AGI Readiness Policy
- Respond to and investigate security incidents
- Develop strategies to safeguard AI training and inference processes from potential threats
- Design, build, and maintain security tooling used by Magic's engineering teams, including hands-on writing code
- Enhance our detection infrastructure to protect data and systems from emerging threats, improving detective and corrective controls
- Conduct regular security assessments and red-teaming efforts to identify vulnerabilities and implement effective countermeasures
- Mitigate the risks from supply chain attacks through diligent assessments and minimizing surface area
- Tell us what we are missing on this list, and help us implement it
