Senior Security Engineer — First in Robotics Platform

Talanto; Singapore; On-site; SGD 143,000 - 257,000; Full time

Job summary

Menlo Research is a pioneering robotics security lab seeking a builder-minded security lead who will own the unified security strategy across cloud and on-prem deployments. You will shape threat models, tooling, and standards with full ownership and no inherited playbooks.

You’ll collaborate on encryption, access control, secrets management, and secure deployment practices across IaC tooling and the robotics stack to keep systems safe in the field.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in software or security engineering with hands-on security depth.
• Experience defining security boundaries in distributed systems, including hybrid cloud/on-premise environments.
• Hands-on Linux systems engineering and networking experience.
• Proficiency with IaC tooling such as Terraform, Helm, or Ansible.
• Experience with Kubernetes and securing containerized environments.
• Ability to threat model novel attack surfaces, including hardware-adjacent or agent-driven software.

Responsibilities

• Own the threat model across Menlo Platform: Robot API, Asimov API, Uranus, Cyclotron, and the deployment loop.
• Develop and maintain a comprehensive security framework spanning Menlo Cloud and on-premise robot deployments at customer and operator sites.
• Design and enforce RBAC and modern authentication protocols across the fleet and developer platform.
• Implement end-to-end encryption for data at rest and in transit, covering robotic telemetry, sensor streams, and training data.
• Establish secure and auditable remote access solutions for engineers troubleshooting robots in the field.
• Define and enforce the trust model across Platform APIs, covering authentication, authorization, and agent identity.
• Model attack surfaces in the agent-to-hardware translation layer, with focus on safety envelope bypass, rollback integrity, and telemetry tampering.
• Own secrets management, credential lifecycle, and supply chain security for Platform dependencies.
• Audit and harden infrastructure deployments across IaC tooling including Terraform, Helm, and Ansible.
• Build and maintain tooling for vulnerability management, secret scanning, dependency auditing, and incident detection.
• Embed security review into the deployment loop: packaging, versioning, and rollback pipelines.
• Partner with Infrastructure on security requirements for Menlo Cloud without owning the infrastructure itself.
