Platform Security Engineer

The Luxor team has built a range of solutions for compute power, including a mining pool, custom firmware, an ASIC brokerage desk, Hashrate derivatives and compute to power CI and agents. We service clients across the globe. Our client base is growing rapidly and as such we are looking to expand our platform engineering team.

We're looking for a Senior Platform Security Engineer with strong expertise in security and compliance. You'll join Luxor AI's Platform team and own the entire area of security and compliance within the team's scope, contributing to building and running production infrastructure.

It will suit an individual energized by the importance of the data we protect and the reliability we provide to our clients.

This role will report directly to the Chief Technology Officer. This is a fully remote role based in U.S.A. with seldom travel if needed.

HOW WE USE AI IN OUR HIRING PROCESS

We use AI tools to support certain parts of our hiring process, and we believe in being transparent about how they’re used.

During your application, AI may assist in reviewing CVs, qualifications, and assignments by providing additional insights, but it does not make decisions, every application is evaluated at each step by a member of our hiring team.

We also use AI to transcribe interviews so our team can stay focused on the conversation rather than note-taking. Any voice recordings are automatically deleted within 15 days.

In addition, AI helps us keep candidates informed about their application status and helps us understand how our process is working so we can improve it over time.

In all cases, AI is used to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. If you have any questions about how we use these tools or your data, or if you would prefer to opt out of any of these features, please include them in the dedicated section of the application form, and we’ll follow up accordingly.
