• Multiple pilots in US + Europe/APAC
• HQ in Washington DC; auxiliary offices in Tel Aviv + London
  
  

We are hiring AI/Systems Engineers to build the systems behind AI-driven vulnerability research and exploit development. This is not a prompt-engineering role. The work is close to the metal — owning problems end-to-end, optimizing for real hardware, and shipping production systems where performance and correctness matter.

What You'll Own:

• Build production systems that conduct AI-driven vulnerability research and exploit development at scale
• Work close to the metal — OS internals, kernel-level interfaces, low-level performance optimization
• Own problems end-to-end across architecture, implementation, and shipped production code
• Partner directly with vulnerability researchers, security operators, and the engineering team to convert manual cyber operations into automated, repeatable systems
• Help define standards and operating cadence of a team that intends to set the bar for AI-native offensive cyber
  
  

Requirements:

Must-Have Requirements:

• 2+ years engineering experience (exceptional new grads with demonstrated low-level systems work are open)
• Deep low-level systems experience — OS internals, kernel work, runtime detection, dynamic analysis, dynamic interception, or comparable
• Strong builder mindset — comfortable owning systems end-to-end and shipping production code where performance and correctness matter
• Comfort with ambiguity and uncertainty (most important cultural requirement, named directly by founder Oliver)
• Willing to relocate to Washington DC (5 days/week, full relocation support) after some period of time
  
  

Excellent-to-Have:

• Vulnerability research, CTF, or prior offensive security experience
• High rank on ctftime.org or similar competition
• Published research, notable CVEs
• Prior founder or early engineer
• Open-source contributions to OS-level tooling
• Cyber/security startup engineering experience (especially runtime detection, dynamic analysis, OS tooling)
• Exposure to ML/AI systems work
