  • Bonus: experience building scalable research systems or working alongside AI teams.

Why Apply

  • Early-stage impact with a team backed by $25M in seed funding.
  • Work with leaders in AI, engineering, and security on real-world enterprise solutions.
  • Influence products used by Fortune 500 clients.
  • Competitive salary and equity package, plus health, wellness, and professional development benefits.
  • Access to the latest tools and frameworks in AI and cybersecurity.
