The job, in the employer's words
We are growing, and we would like to hear from you.
Intelligence Security Laboratories is a philanthropically funded non-profit research lab focused on implementation-driven R&D for high-security AI systems. Our work bridges the gap between theoretical security requirements and practical deployments, and in character it is closer to avionics or reactor control than to enterprise software. Our approach is set out in a RAND publication, Secure Inference Data Centers: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA4827-1.html
We are around ten people and scaling quickly. Alongside the roles currently posted, we expect to hire across:
Project and program management, including overseeing contractors delivering technical work
Operations and organizational support
Engineering and technical roles
What we look for. Depth in your own field matters more than familiarity with ours. We are particularly interested in people from backgrounds where designing systems that fail safely is already the everyday discipline, such as aviation, nuclear, rail, or industrial control. We care that people are genuinely motivated by the problem: the work is unusual, the standard is no-fail rather than best effort, and the organization is early enough that people shape how it is done.
How this works. Tell us what you are interested in and what you would bring. We review these regularly and will be in touch if there is a fit now, or when something opens that matches. If you would rather have a conversation first, write to talent@intseclab.org.
Compensation and benefits. Because this is a general application rather than a specific role, the range below covers every position we expect to hire across, from intern through to senior technical specialist. Across all roles, that range is $80,000 to $500,000.
Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus unlimited PTO. In addition to base salary, roles are eligible for an annual performance bonus and, for DC-resident staff, a DC living incentive. Relocation support of up to $10,000 may be available depending on circumstances.
ISL is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. If you need an accommodation at any stage of the process, let us know and we will work with you to provide one.
