We’re a team of ex-Google engineers who built some of the largest defensive platforms on the planet — Safe Browsing and reCAPTCHA. Now, we’re striking out on our own to tackle an even bigger challenge: stopping the new wave of adversarial AI attacks already hitting organizations today.

We’re still in stealth, but here’s what we can say:
We're going after a $5B+ market, ripe for disruption. Traditional detection methods are too slow to keep up. Adversaries are using AI to craft customized, high-evasion attacks — and old-school rules-based systems don’t stand a chance.

Your Mission:
Architect a constellation of AI Agents — fast, cheap, and high-precision — that work together to detect and stop emerging threats. You’ll live deep in live threat data, evolving your agents at the speed of the battlefield. These agents will operate under an orchestration layer designed for rapid iteration and adaptive learning.

WHY THIS IS HARD (A.K.A. WHY IT’S FUN)

- The models change daily. Literally. What worked yesterday might be obsolete tomorrow.

- The adversaries are smart — and getting smarter. We’re in a real-time arms race against AI-enabled attackers crafting tailored, evasive payloads.

- There’s no playbook. We’re building new detection paradigms as fast as the threats evolve. It’s high-stakes, high-impact work — and you’ll be in the arena from day one.

If you’re the kind of engineer who lives for tough problems and fast feedback loops, this is your kind of challenge.

WHY WE’LL WIN

- The market is massive — $5B+ and growing fast — and incumbents are too slow to adapt.

- We’ve done this before. Our team built the core technology behind Safe Browsing (5B+ users) and reCAPTCHA (protecting 5M+ websites) while at Google.

- This is our third time building a category-defining security business. We know how to scale both the tech and the company.

- AI and security are in our DNA. We don’t bolt it on — we build it in from day one.

- We only hire top performers....
