Our Mission
Build mission-critical AI to secure the world’s most sensitive communications.
About us
At Aten Security, we’re building the next-generation platform for compliant and secure internal communication—powering oversight across Slack, Signal, Email, WhatsApp, and more. In a world where rogue messages lead to billion-dollar fines or classified leaks, we’re helping governments and Enterprises protect, monitor, and verify internal communication at scale.
We are seeking a Founding Backend & Infrastructure Engineer with expertise in Go to lead the secure design of distributed systems across cloud and on-premise environments. The role involves supporting AI/ML privacy workloads and embedding Zero Trust principles while contributing to advanced integrations, including secure communications over Signal. We're currently in private beta, backed by leading Silicon Valley investors and advised by security leaders from Robinhood, Reddit, Databricks, Square, and Gemini.
What You’ll Do
- Build infrastructure spanning GCP, Azure, and on-prem data centers.
- Implement fine-grained identity, policy, and audit controls using a Zero Trust model.
- Secure AI workloads for GPU-based inference and training, implementing safeguards for federated learning, differential privacy, and data confidentiality.
- Own backend services in Go, infrastructure in Terraform, and orchestration in Kubernetes.
- Build and scale APIs (gRPC/REST) for real-time communication compliance.
- Drive IAM strategy, secrets management, runtime hardening, and security monitoring.
- Define threat models and coordinate incident response readiness.
- Support integration of Signal and evaluate and contribute to Rust-based components.
- Architect a secure bridge to encrypted platforms.
- Founding-level role with influence in shaping security architecture at a high-trust, high-ownership startup.
- Early influence in building a secure AI-native platform from first principles.
- Opportunity to solve real problems for CISOs, regulators, and compliance leaders.
