About the role
Dynamic Creatures | Cambridge, MA
Dynamic Creatures is hiring a hands-on security engineer to help protect our software and connected products. You’ll shape how our robots connect securely to networks, the internet, and the services around them.
We’re looking for someone who has personally secured an IoT product and its SDKs. Your background could be in connected cameras, smart-home devices, consumer electronics, industrial IoT, or robotics.
What you’ll do
- Own product security across embedded software, SDKs, APIs, and device-to-cloud communications.
- Design and implement secure authentication, authorization, encryption, and credential management.
- Review software and system architecture, identify vulnerabilities, and work with engineers to resolve them.
- Secure device provisioning, software updates, and third-party dependencies.
- Build practical security checks into development and release processes.
- Help investigate and respond to product security issues.
What you’ll bring
- Experience securing internet-connected physical products through development, launch, and operation.
- Direct experience securing SDKs, including how developers authenticate, manage credentials, and access product capabilities.
- Strong knowledge of networking, internet protocols, and secure communications.
- Experience with embedded or firmware security and the cloud services supporting connected devices.
- The ability to review code, implement protections, and explain security decisions clearly.
- A practical approach to balancing security, reliability, and product usability.
Robotics experience is welcome, but it isn’t required. We’re most interested in what you’ve personally built, secured, tested, and improved.
This role is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
