About Enclosure

Enclosure is the world’s first superintelligence security lab focused on preventing the sabotage, escape, and theft of ASI. We are building ASI-grade security for model weights, and nation-state-grade security for data centers.

We’re backed by leaders across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, SpaceXAI, CoreWeave, NVIDIA, other frontier AI labs, and the national security community (including former NSA and intelligence community leadership). We are frontier AI, cybersecurity, quantum security, and national security researchers.

About the Role

Enclosure is hiring an exceptional AI researcher. You'll own a significant part of our AI research as an IC. We care less about degrees and more about a track record of exploration, curiosity, and grit.

Requirements

This role requires deep experience in multiple of the following areas:

Strong research experience in machine learning, particularly with frontier AI models

Experience training or fine tuning language models or other AI models

Have conducted rigorous, evidence-driven research across disciplines, designing experiments that test hypotheses and evolve with new findings

Track record of peer-reviewed research in top-tier venues such as AAAI, ACL, EMNLP, ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, Nature, Science, or similar

Strong programming skills and experience with PyTorch, JAX, or similar

Interest or experience in AI security, cyber capabilities, agents, safeguards, or other research relevant to securing increasingly capable systems

What Sets You Apart

We're especially excited if you:

Demonstrate strong engineering judgment in the systems you've built

Get excited by hard problems and the challenge of figuring them out

Are highly adaptive and comfortable with how quickly the frontier shifts

Have evidence of self-directed technical work, such as open-source contributions, technical writing, tools, packages, or public projects with strong systems thinking

Communicate with clarity and directness

Bring a humble, low-ego attitude and care deeply about helping the team win

Why Join

Enclosure is securing the path to superintelligence.

What we offer:

Competitive compensation package

Ownership over research direction

Close collaboration with frontier AI security and infrastructure teams
