Requirements
  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
  • 4+ years of experience building fullstack applications in production
  • Proficiency in modern backend frameworks (e.g., Python, Node.js, Go) and front-end tools (e.g., React, TypeScript)
  • Experience building secure internal tools, dashboards, and APIs
  • Strong grasp of security fundamentals and threat modeling
  • Familiarity with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) and cloud infrastructure
  • Experience with abuse detection, red teaming, or adversarial ML
Responsibilities
  • Design and build secure internal tools, dashboards, and platforms that support red teaming, abuse detection, and incident response
  • Develop fullstack applications that surface security insights, integrate detection pipelines, and support real-time analysis of threats
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary engineering teams to operationalize detection logic and abuse signals
  • Build scalable front-end interfaces for monitoring system health, flagging incidents, and visualizing threat activity
  • Ensure security, performance, and maintainability across the full stack — from database to backend to UI
  • Establish comprehensive metrics for evaluating security risks and the effectiveness of mitigations
Desired Qualifications
  • Extensive experience in information security, cybersecurity, or a related field, with a significant portion of that experience in leadership or management roles
  • Deep understanding of security technologies, tools, and best practices, including experience with secure coding practices, threat modeling, risk assessments, and incident response
  • Experience in application security, software development, or related areas with a strong understanding of secure coding practices and application security frameworks
  • Proficiency in programming languages (such as Python, Java, C++, etc.), knowledge of security tools (e.g., Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP), and familiarity with security protocols and encryption methods
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex security issues to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Experience working at a startup (even if failed), demonstrating initiative, resilience, adaptability, hands-on problem-solving skills, and practical learning from navigating uncertainty in fast-paced, early-stage environments

10a Labs provides intelligence and research services to help technology companies secure their artificial intelligence systems. The company works by stress-testing AI models through red teaming, monitoring the dark web for jailbreak techniques, and using a proprietary classification system to moderate content in real-time. Unlike standard cybersecurity firms, 10a Labs focuses specifically on AI-related risks, including physical infrastructure challenges like data center security and supply chain vulnerabilities. Their goal is to provide leaders with the data and guidance needed to anticipate emerging threats and ensure their AI innovations remain safe and compliant.
