Job Details
- Required Skills
- CybersecurityGoRust
Requirements
- Background in Mechanical and/or Electrical Engineering with career focus in Cybersecurity.
- Deep familiarity with the Linux kernel — including kernel modules, syscall interface, namespaces, cgroups, eBPF, and LSM.
- Hands-on experience with firmware, UEFI, secure boot, TPM, and platform integrity tooling.
- Strong proficiency in C and a modern systems language (Rust, Go, or similar), with the ability to read and write production kernel code.
- Familiarity with hardware-level isolation primitives (e.g., IOMMU, SR-IOV, confidential computing); exposure to non-standard compute architectures a plus.
- Strong written communication skills, with the ability to make low-level security concepts approachable for non-specialists.
Responsibilities
- Partner with platform, infrastructure, and hardware teams to embed security controls from physical hardware through runtime.
- Design and implement security hardening across the Linux kernel, bootloader, firmware, and host OS layers of Cerebras compute platforms.
- Drive secure boot, measured boot, and attestation strategies across our infrastructure, from the wafer-scale system to supporting host nodes.
- Conduct deep security reviews of kernel modules, drivers, and low-level system components — identifying and remediating memory safety, privilege escalation, and isolation issues.
- Develop kernel-level monitoring and telemetry (e.g., eBPF) to enable detection of low-level attacker behavior.
- Stay ahead of emerging kernel CVEs, supply chain risks, and hardware-level threats — driving response and remediation across the fleet.
- Document low-level security posture, threat models, and remediation playbooks in clear, accessible language.
