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.
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.
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.
Builds interactive character robots for entertainment
Dynamic Creatures designs and builds mobile, interactive character robots for entertainment and hospitality. Their SnowJay platform combines real-time perception, learning-based control, adaptive behavior, and costume-aware character design to make guest-facing robots that perceive people, plan motions, and respond in real time, creating uncanned interactions rather than scripted ones. The company operates as an entertainment and hospitality partner using platform-based characters on Boston Dynamics or other bases, deployable in months via leasing, as well as fully original robots built around a brand’s story. Early markets include theme parks and retail experiences. The goal is to help brands and venues create engaging, branded experiences through responsive robotic characters that blend hardware, motion, and persona into one system, differentiating from traditional animatronics or generic service robots by delivering more natural interactions in public settings.
