About Resolution

Resolution does research on how to align artificial superintelligence (ASI). ASI may be developed in the next few years, but it is unclear whether alignment is on track to be ready in the same timeframe. We aim at higher a priori confidence in aligned outcomes by pursuing a portfolio of theory and empirics bets, any one of which — if it succeeds — would meaningfully advance the field. We invest heavily in research automation to accelerate progress, and we believe that stronger alignment theory unlocks higher automation: more principled approaches give us better filters for which directions of automated research are promising.

Resolution was founded in 2026 by researchers from UK AISI's Alignment Team, who ran the £30m Alignment Project, and Timaeus, who pioneered applying singular learning theory to alignment.

About the Team

Resolution's work will involve sensitive frontier-relevant research and partnerships with AI labs. This role exists both to protect that work and to enable it: good security is what makes deeper lab partnerships possible. We draw a distinction between two closely related areas of security:

• Research & infrastructure security. Securing how research actually runs: CI/CD pipelines, automated research agents, multi-cloud compute, and code/data/model-weight handling.
• Corporate IT & security. The endpoint, identity, and collaboration scaffolding a distributed research org runs on, in combination with the compliance frameworks that unlock lab partnerships.

This role focuses on the former, covering security on the technical side of the organization. You would report to senior leadership and work closely with our security and engineering teams (as well as with our operations team).

In practice, we expect to grow the security team one hire at a time, so your initial set of responsibilities is likely to span both areas. We expect the distinction to clarify over time.

About the Role

You are the security architect for our research pipeline. You'll define how we securely conduct research across multiple cloud environments, partnering closely with engineering to make CI/CD, automated research agents, and large-scale compute secure by default. You would build a hardened environment where researchers and agents iterate at speed without risking data leakage, supply-chain compromise, and other security failures.

Responsibilities

1. Secure DevSecOps & CI/CD Orchestration

• Pipeline Hardening: Build security guardrails directly into our CI/CD pipelines. Ensure that every deployment, whether manual or agent-driven, is automatically scanned, verified, and compliant.
• Automated Verification: Establish workflows where our agents can test their own code and infrastructure changes against security policies before deploying to production environments.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Lead the implementation of "Compliance as Code." Automate the auditing and enforcement of security configurations across our AWS, GCP & neocloud footprints.

2. Supply Chain Security for Automated Research
