We use AI to do things that were previously impossible. Topaz Labs builds professional-grade software that uses deep learning to enhance image and video quality. Over 1 million photographers and designers trust us with their work, including teams at Apple, Netflix, NASA, and Disney. We’ve processed over 1 billion images, achieved massive revenue growth, and we’re only getting started.We are a small, profitable, and product-led team that values craftsmanship and impact over activity. We don’t just ship features; we solve hard problems to help creatives do their best work. As our first Principal Security Engineer, you will own the security posture for the entire organization—from the cloud to the colo, and from the training cluster to the office network.This is not a high-level compliance role. You will be reporting directly to the Head of AI Engine, but your scope spans the entire company. You must be willing to get your hands dirty.We operate a hybrid infrastructure: AWS, massive on-premise GPU training clusters in our colocation facility, and a corporate fleet of devices. Your mission is to secure every layer of this stack. You will have complete autonomy to architect security for our compute resources, manage office/colo networks, and harden our endpoints.
