About AION

AION is building the next generation of AI cloud platform by transforming the future of high-performance computing (HPC) through its decentralized AI cloud. Purpose-built for bare-metal performance, AION democratizes access to compute power for AI training, fine-tuning, inference, data labeling, and beyond.

By leveraging underutilized resources such as idle GPUs and data centers, AION provides a scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable solution tailored for developers, researchers, and enterprises. The platform's innovative Proof of Compute Contribution (PoCC) protocol rewards contributors based on performance, creating a transparent and efficient ecosystem.

Integrated with Tether (USD₮ & USD₮0) for stability and regulatory clarity, AION eliminates volatility, ensuring predictable costs and seamless transactions. With cutting-edge partnerships and a USD-backed economy, AION is pioneering the commoditization of high-performance compute, empowering global innovation and bridging the AI wealth gap.

Led by high-pedigree founders with previous exits, AION is well-funded by major VCs with strategic global partnerships. Headquartered in the US with global presence, the company is building its initial core team in India.

Who you are

You are a pioneering security architect with expertise in building robust isolation systems for multi-tenant infrastructure environments. You have deep knowledge of hardware, network, and storage isolation principles and can design comprehensive security architectures that maintain strict boundaries between customer workloads in both VM-based and container-based compute environments.

You thrive on solving unprecedented security challenges and are excited to architect security for a fundamentally new type of infrastructure platform from the ground up. You understand the nuances of protecting cloud services at scale while accommodating diverse client security requirements and compliance needs.

You're passionate about unlocking the potential of AI development by creating secure foundations that enable data centers to safely share previously siloed compute resources. You combine technical security expertise with strategic vision, allowing you to build systems that maintain impeccable security while scaling to serve a growing client base with varying security demands.
