Job Description
🌍 We’re taking on the crusty global cyber market, the "no-BS" sec platform for devs. In the past, only large enterprises needed to worry about security. Today, every startup holds significant customer data, and cybersecurity has become the top concern of 75% of all CEOs. This means all developers need to ensure their platforms are secure, but the market is riddled with overcomplicated, expensive tools that aren’t fit for purpose. We are a no-BS, open-source, intuitive security platform that developers actually like to use. Why work with us? Founded in 2022 by third-time serial founders, with $25M funding in the bank, we're dead set on getting security done for devs. This is a chance to join an all-star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries. We’re looking for a Security Engineer in our AI Pentest team who improves how our AI agents think and attack. You’ll expand agent capabilities, test and iterate over experiments, improve our AI agent architecture, and ship improvements fast with the product and engineering teams. Responsibilities Extend agent capabilities so they can explore, attack, and report vulnerabilities more effectively. Improve the performance and accuracy of our AI hacking agents by running targeted experiments. Translate use-cases into testable setups, run internal benchmarks, and make decisions based on results. Work with engineering to bring validated improvements into production.
