The companyA venture-backed cybersecurity startup, growing quickly and building an AI-first approach to security operations. They’re working with large enterprise customers as well as fast-moving tech companies, and have the backing of top-tier investors and well-known names in the security world.

Why it’s excitingYou’re helping shape what the next generation of managed security looks like, not inheriting a legacy SOCReal influence on the product, so noise gets fixed at the sourceEarly enough to build the function and the team your wayWork alongside engineers and researchers from some of the biggest names in tech and securityStrong equity in a company with serious momentum
