Why This Role and Company Stand Out

The team brings more than two decades of cybersecurity experience and uses deep knowledge of vulnerabilities and real-world exploitation to build stronger security products. The company supports organizations that protect critical infrastructure such as medical devices, power grids, and telecommunications networks. Founded in 2021 in Lexington, Massachusetts, it promotes a transparent, collaborative, and supportive environment where curiosity, innovation, humility, and hard work are valued.

Equal Opportunity and Accessibility

The employer is committed to equal opportunity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, veteran status, disability, or any other protected characteristic. Reasonable accommodations are available for applicants with physical or mental disabilities.

Application Mindset

Candidates are encouraged to apply even if their background does not match every requirement exactly, since potential is valued alongside direct experience.
