We are building the first datacenter specifically designed to the SL5 standard, capable of withstanding attacks from adversaries with nation-state resources and billion-dollar budgets. This role is crucial for developing and implementing the SL5 standard and reference tech stack to guide future AI lab buildouts.

Responsibilities

Produce a practical roadmap for a full-scale SL5 build using generic datacenter plans, SL5 datacenter prototyping work, the SL5 Standard, and other relevant external materials.
Provide schedule and delay estimates, sequencing, and identify long-lead items including permitting, shell, power, cooling, accelerator procurement, and ICD 705 physical work.
Translate SL5 physical and zoning requirements into buildable constraints for design and construction teams.
Collaborate with technical track partners to integrate their input on builds and essential security requirements.

Requirements

Led large datacenter builds encompassing all phases from siting and power through commissioning.
Ability to produce credible schedule and cost estimates that are validated during implementation.

About the Company

Security Level 5 is a Bay Area AI security nonprofit.
We work with AI labs and US intelligence agencies to defend frontier models from priority nation-state-level threats.
We are tripling headcount this year.
We are working on the first SL5 components this year and aiming for an at-scale SL5 datacenter build in 2027.
We wrote the first version of the standard with input from CISOs and senior security staff at the frontier labs, and US security and intelligence officials.
We are designing the SL5 architectures purpose-built for frontier AI workloads.
We are standing up the reference tech stack to guide labs' buildouts.
This stack has to hold against nation-states, not destroy researchers' productivity, not cost more than labs can pay, and ship in 2-3 years.
