Staff Software Engineer - Vehicle & Hardware Security

Pronto AI is a global leader in commercializing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, deploying Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) that automate operations in mines, quarries, and construction sites worldwide. While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field.

We are on a mission to make mining operations safer, smarter, and more efficient through cutting-edge technology, and we are building toward becoming the world’s first profitable AV technology company.

As a Staff Software Engineer focused on Vehicle & Hardware Security, you’ll own the security of the systems that make our vehicles operate safely, from in-vehicle networks and ECU firmware to secure boot and over-the-air updates. You’ll serve as the senior security partner to our vehicle engineering teams while helping set the technical direction and operating cadence for the broader security team.

We’re looking for a deeply technical security engineer who understands both how modern vehicles are built and how they can be attacked. You should be comfortable moving between embedded software, vehicle networks, firmware, hardware, and security architecture while serving as a trusted technical partner to vehicle engineering leadership.
