About Mecka AI

Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.

We partner with leading AI labs and robotics companies to deliver high-quality, real-world datasets used to train, evaluate, and deploy robotic systems — where model performance is dictated by data quality.

Our Mission

Robotics will become the largest industry in human history — larger than anything that has come before it. As intelligent machines move into the physical world, they will dramatically expand global GDP, raise the material standard of living for everyone, and ultimately help make humanity a multiplanetary civilization. None of that happens without one thing: enormous amounts of high-quality, real-world data.

Mecka AI builds that foundation. We are the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI — the substrate that teaches machines to perceive, reason, and act in reality. Get this right, and we accelerate the most important technological transition of our time.

Our Culture

Excellence as the baseline. We hold an extremely high bar and expect the best work of your career. Mediocrity isn't interesting to us.
Highly technical. We reason from first principles, not by analogy. The best argument wins — regardless of title or tenure.
Truth-seeking. We are relentlessly honest with ourselves and each other. We chase reality — measured, not assumed — and kill our own bad ideas fast.
Maniacal urgency. The work matters and the clock is real. We move fast, ship, measure, and iterate.
Extreme ownership. You own outcomes end-to-end — no hand-offs, no excuses, no waiting for permission.
Hardcore. This is a high-intensity environment for people who want to do the defining work of their lives.

The Role

We are hiring a Security Engineering Lead to own security end-to-end across the company: compliance, credential safety, application and endpoint security, and data security.

This is a senior leadership role with high trust and autonomy. You will set the security strategy, drive execution, and build the foundation for a security program that scales with the business.

What You’ll Work On

Compliance & Security Program Ownership

Own compliance readiness and controls (policies, processes, audits, evidence collection).
Define security standards and operating rhythm across engineering and operations.

Identity, Credentials, and Access

Credential safety: secrets management, key rotation, least privilege, access reviews.
Build/own IAM patterns across cloud and internal tooling.

Application & Endpoint Security

Secure-by-default application patterns: authN/authZ, API security, secure SDLC.
Endpoint and device security posture for laptops and operational environments.
Vulnerability management and incident response processes.

Data Security

Data classification, retention, encryption, and access control.
Security posture for large-scale storage, pipelines, and customer data delivery.

Who You Are

Required Background

5+ years of security engineering experience (or equivalent impact), with program ownership.
Proven ability to lead cross-functionally and drive security outcomes in production systems.
Deep experience across several of: IAM, appsec, endpoint security, cloud security, compliance, incident response.

Strong Signals

You’ve led security for a fast-moving company with real production risk.
You are pragmatic: you reduce risk without blocking execution.
You can build a program from scratch and scale it.

Why This Role

Own security for a company operating at the intersection of data, infrastructure, and real-world robotics.
Define the security foundation that enables enterprise partnerships and long-term scale.
