Job description

Overview

Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction. Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in. We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.

Compliance & Security Governance: Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements, maintaining thorough security documentation.

Security Automation & Optimization: Implement and optimize automation tools for threat detection and response, while staying abreast of emerging security technologies.

What You\'ll Need

Technical Expertise in firewalls (e.g., Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Fortinet), IDS/IPS, VPNs, SD-WAN, cloud security, and encryption.

Proficiency with Security Tools: Experience with SIEM (e.g., Splunk, QRadar), vulnerability scanners (e.g., Nessus, Qualys), and endpoint security solutions.

Relevant Certifications, such as CCNP Security, CEH, CISSP, and GIAC Certifications (GSEC, GCIH, GPEN).

A passion for security: A proactive approach to learning about new security technologies and threats.
