Mission We’re an early-stage startup building the security layer for the Agentic AI era — where autonomous agents independently access data, trigger workflows, and make real-time decisions across APIs and tools. Our mission: Secure cloud data and agentic systems without compromising innovation.
We’re looking for a founding Head of Engineering who’s not just a builder, but a visionary leader ready to roll up their sleeves and build systems from scratch.
The OpportunityThe addressable market in North America alone for what we’re building exceeds $7B in 2025, growing at 47% CAGR.
As more organizations adopt AI agents for automation, insight, and decision-making, they will require a new category of real-time protection for cloud data, APIs, and multi-agent workflows.
We're building the security foundation for this shift — combining real-time input/output filtering, agent-aware policy enforcement, and behavioral controls at the infrastructure level.
Why Now?The agentic AI wave is happening now. Developers are building multi-agent systems that can plan, execute, and learn — but security hasn’t kept up.
We’re at the frontier of two massive trends: autonomous AI and cloud-native security. This is the moment to build.
Why Join Us?- Founder-Market Fit: Our founding team includes domain experts in both cybersecurity and agentic AI, with deep experience building and scaling security platforms and AI-native systems.
- Build from Zero: You’ll be architecting the core product — not inheriting legacy code.
- Category Creation: Help define a new security layer purpose-built for autonomous, agent-driven systems.
- Massive Tailwinds: The market is growing fast, and we’re uniquely positioned to lead it.
- True Partnership: This is a co-founder role — not a job. You’ll shape the company, product, and future.
What We NeedWe’re looking for a technical co-founder / Head of Engineering to help architect, build, and scale our platform from day one. This is a founding role with equity-only compensation.
You’ll be a core partner, responsible for technical leadership and hands-on implementation. Ideal experience includes:
- Designing and implementing API gateways (e.g., Kong, Envoy, NGINX, or custom)
- Deep knowledge of authentication & authorization protocols (OAuth2, JWT, mTLS)
- Experience with API call routing, load balancing, and network architecture
- Building secure, scalable SaaS platforms with multi-tenant designs
- Strong understanding of cloud security (IAM, key management, traffic isolation)
- Full-stack development skills and the ability to ship fast
- Bonus: knowledge of agentic AI systems, LLM integrations, or runtime behavioral monitoring
What We Offer- Equity-Only Founding Role: Significant ownership in a high-potential market
- Technical Ownership: Define the architecture, tooling, and infrastructure
- Market Tailwinds: Ride the growth of a $7B+ and rapidly expanding category
- Meaningful Mission: Solve hard, foundational problems in AI and security
