Traditional security tools often disrupt workflows and delay releases, turning security into a cumbersome process. Our mission is to create developer-centric security products that minimize genuine risks while facilitating smooth software delivery. We prioritize what truly matters and automate the rest.
We are challenging the outdated security tools that have held teams back, and we’re winning. If you’re passionate about helping us capture market share and craft products that developers genuinely love, you’re in the right place.

We are on a path towards creating self-securing software. Join our exceptional team, take significant ownership, push boundaries, and create impactful solutions.
We are seeking a Security Researcher to investigate code, explore emerging threats, and develop detection logic that enhances our security platform. Your contributions will directly impact our ability to identify vulnerable dependencies, insecure coding practices, and real security threats faced by developers. This role closely collaborates with engineering and product teams to translate security research into tangible product features.
