Job Description

Kodiak Robotics, Inc. was founded in 2018 and has become a leader in autonomous ground transportation committed to a safer and more efficient future for all. The company has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) powered technology stack purpose-built for commercial trucking and the public sector. The company delivers freight daily for its customers across the southern United States using its autonomous technology. In 2024, Kodiak became the first known company to publicly announce delivering a driverless semi-truck to a customer. Kodiak is also leveraging its commercial self-driving software to develop, test and deploy autonomous capabilities for the U.S. Department of Defense.

As a Senior Cybersecurity Compliance Engineer at Kodiak AI, you will work at the intersection of traditional IT security, embedded systems engineering, and rigorous international safety regulations. Unlike a general compliance role, this position requires a deep understanding of how software interacts with vehicle hardware to ensure public safety.

In this role, you will:

  • Establish and maintain a Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) to ensure the organization has appropriate security measures across development, production, and post-production.
  • Manage security requirements and risk treatment for self-driving platform features throughout the entire product lifecycle (concept, development, operation, and incident response).
  • Partner with Functional Safety teams to evaluate the overlap between cybersecurity (ISO 21434) and functional safety (ISO 26262) to mitigate physical safety implications of cyber threats.
  • Drive compliance efforts across various security frameworks, encompassing both general IT and autonomous vehicle (AV) specific standards. This includes:
    • NIST SP 800-171: Focusing on CMMC and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) security.
    • NIST SP 800-53: Addressing SaaS security.
    • SOC2: Ensuring customer data protection.
    • ISO/SAE 21434: Leading initiatives for emerging road vehicle cybersecurity engineering standards.
  • Support Kodiak’s management team by providing written and verbal responses to potential partners and customers.
  • Design and audit security controls for our off-vehicle infrastructure, ensuring data integrity and end-to-end encryption.
