Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

$13,149 more — $193,149 — moves this role to Level III and 3 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $193,149 would place this position at wage Level III. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role
- Unlike platforms built before the AI era, Pylon enriches every interaction with deep account-level context, automates the low impact customer work, and surfaces answers before your team even has to ask.
- We're backed by a16z, BCV, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator.
- We're also featured on the Enterprise Tech 30 List https://www.enterprisetech30.com/.
Responsibilities
- Own application and product security across what we've shipped and what's still to come, including threat modeling, secure design reviews, and code review on the areas that matter most like auth and access control.
- Build tooling that scales security past one person: supply chain security, vulnerability management, secure-by-default libraries, and developer-friendly guardrails.
- Build AI-assisted security workflows, like agents that scan code, propose fixes, and surface real risk, along with the controls that let the rest of the team use coding agents safely.
- Work hands-on with engineers to ship fixes and help them build securely by default, telling the difference between theoretical risk and risk that actually matters so we spend effort where it counts.
- Take projects from customer request through design to ship, and own them the whole way through.
- Flex into broader infrastructure work as we grow, including the same scaling, reliability, and developer-velocity problems the infra team owns.
- You like to build, not just advise. You're comfortable turning risk into actual engineering work and shipping it.
- PYLON - THE AGENTIC SUPPORT PLATFORM PURPOSE-BUILT FOR B2B.
