As an Agentic AI Security Engineer at Janelia, you will join the AI team to develop and operate a comprehensive safety stack for agentic AI systems. You will be responsible for building sandboxing solutions using kernel- and VM-level isolation on OpenShift platforms and HPC clusters, implementing guardrails through policy enforcement and judge models, and establishing observability via audit logging and real-time monitoring. The role focuses on securing shared research infrastructure against risks like hallucinated commands and sandbox escapes when AI agents execute code or control instruments. You will work with Linux, Kubernetes, and tool-calling protocols like MCP while managing both self-hosted open-weight models and frontier commercial models. This position addresses the critical challenge of ensuring safety for autonomous tools operating at machine speed within a complex scientific research environment involving biology, physics, and machine learning.
