About the role

  • You are the security architect for our research pipeline.
  • You'll define how we securely conduct research across multiple cloud environments, partnering closely with engineering to make CI/CD, automated research agents, and large-scale compute secure by default.
  • Resolution's work will involve sensitive frontier-relevant research and partnerships with AI labs.

Responsibilities

  • Pipeline Hardening: Build security guardrails directly into our CI/CD pipelines. Ensure that every deployment, whether manual or agent-driven, is automatically scanned, verified, and compliant.
  • Automated Verification: Establish workflows where our agents can test their own code and infrastructure changes against security policies before deploying to production environments.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Lead the implementation of "Compliance as Code." Automate the auditing and enforcement of security configurations across our AWS, GCP & neocloud footprints.
  • Provenance and Integrity: In an environment where we rely heavily on automated coding agents, build systems to ensure the provenance of code and dependencies.
  • Implement robust signing, SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation, and automated vulnerability management.
  • Compute Security: Manage the security architecture for our high-compute research environments. We operate in a multi-cloud ecosystem
  • Research Data Protection: Develop and maintain the data handling protocols necessary for working with pre-publication research and potentially sensitive model weights.
  • Compliance as a Competitive Advantage: Partner with AI labs to navigate security audits.
  • Compute Security: Manage the security architecture for our high-compute research environments.

Requirements

  • Ensure that agents have the "least privilege" access required to execute experiments while remaining isolated from sensitive IP and credentials.

Skills

  • Are motivated by alignment of artificial superintelligence (ASI) and want to contribute to it full-time.

Compensation

  • Your salary depends on the scope, autonomy, and impact we expect you to have while working at Resolution.
  • The expected range of in-person salaries for this role is:
  • L4 (SWE II): $346,000
  • L5 (Senior SWE): $451,000
  • L6 (Staff SWE): $670,000
  • L7 (Senior Staff SWE): $930,000
  • An unconditional 401(k) contribution equal to 4% of your salary.

Benefits

  • 5 weeks of paid vacation per year, in addition to public holidays.
  • Comprehensive healthcare insurance (medical, dental, vision).
  • Unlimited sick leave to prioritize your well-being.
  • Minimum education: A bachelor's degree in a field relevant to the role, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or professional experience that demonstrates comparable knowledge.

Company info

  • Resolution does research on how to align artificial superintelligence (ASI).
  • ASI may be developed in the next few years, but it is unclear whether alignment is on track to be ready in the same timeframe.
  • We aim at higher a priori confidence in aligned outcomes by pursuing a portfolio of theory and empirics bets, any one of which - if it succeeds - would meaningfully advance the field.
  • We invest heavily in research automation to accelerate progress, and we believe that stronger alignment theory unlocks higher automation: more principled approaches give us better filters for which directions of automated research are promising.
  • Resolution was founded in 2026 by researchers from UK AISI's Alignment Team, who ran the £30m Alignment Project https://alignmentproject.aisi.gov.uk/, and Timaeus https://timaeus.co/, who pioneered applying singular learning theory to alignment.
  • For more information, see our announcement https://sequent.org/launch.

Visa & Work Authorization

  • Visa sponsorship: We can sponsor visas for relocation to Berkeley.
