About the role
- Software development is changing fast, and code is no longer written by humans alone.
- We're a venture-backed company with offices in Australia, the United States, Belgium, Iceland, and the United Kingdom.
- We're empowering organizations to secure their software-no matter how the code is written!
Responsibilities
- You own three things. How you balance your time across them will shift as the landscape evolves and as you develop your own view of where the highest-leverage opportunities lie.
- These are ambiguous, cross-cutting problems that require structured discovery before anyone can commit to building them.
- You lead time-boxed R&D cycles to produce prototypes and clear recommendations: build, explore further, or stop.
- You own the technical discovery of how to deliver that intelligence, working in close partnership with our content and security domain experts.
- You own three things.
- How you balance your time across them will shift as the landscape evolves and as you develop your own view of where the highest-leverage opportunities lie.
