Safe Security
AI-powered cybersecurity risk analytics platform
Most boards and executives are currently flying blind when it comes to cyber risk. They are guessing. At Safe, we’ve built an AI-driven engine that finally gives the C-Suite a clear, quantified, and real-time view of their security posture. We don’t just provide data; we provide certainty.
We are a $170M Series C-funded category leader. We don’t play in the mid-market; we operate at the highest levels of global enterprise. Today, we are proud to serve 10% of the Fortune 500, protecting global icons such as Apple, Netflix, AT&T, Verizon, and Victoria’s Secret.
As we scale toward our next chapter, we are looking for high-performers who want to do the best work of their careers at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.
Safe is not a typical corporate environment. We are a high-intensity, mission-driven team. We value builders who want to define a category and work alongside people who are equally committed to excellence.
Extreme Ownership: We don’t do "not my job." We hire people who see a gap and own the solution from start to finish.
The Elite Standard: We serve the most sophisticated companies on the planet. Our work must be bulletproof. Whether it’s a line of code or a sales deck, we aim for Tier-1 quality every time.
Methodology & Rigor: We don’t wing it. From Force Management and MEDDICC in sales to data-driven sprints in engineering, we rely on proven frameworks to stay disciplined and predictable.
Radical Candor: We move too fast for politics or sugar-coating. We value direct, honest feedback that helps us find the right answer quickly.
The Series C Hustle: We have the stability of a well-funded leader but the heart of a startup.
We want our team to feel like owners because they are owners. We trust our people to manage their results and their time.
Meaningful Equity: Every "Safestar" is a shareholder. You aren’t just an employee; you are a partner in our success.
Unlimited Leaves: We don’t believe in clock-watching. We offer unlimited leave because we trust you to take the time you need to recharge while staying committed to the mission.
Comprehensive Benefits: We provide top-tier medical insurance and wellness benefits to ensure you and your family are well cared for.
Career Trajectory: We are growing aggressively. For high-performers, the path for advancement moves at the speed of your ambition.
Technical Leadership: Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, continuous learning, growth, collaboration, and engineering excellence.
Technical Strategy: Define and execute the technical strategy and roadmap for your team, aligning it with business objectives, product priorities, customer commitments, and organizational goals.
Code Review: Conduct thorough code reviews to maintain code quality, improve maintainability, identify refactoring opportunities, and provide constructive feedback to team members, including on AI-generated code.
AI-Assisted Engineering: Drive adoption of AI-assisted coding and productivity tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools for development, testing, debugging, documentation, codebase exploration, and refactoring.
LLM Awareness: Bring practical knowledge of LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, AI agents, vector stores, model evaluation, and LLM observability, and guide teams in applying these concepts responsibly in product and engineering workflows.
Problem Solving: Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, identify root causes, and implement effective long-term solutions across microservices, distributed systems, data platforms, and production environments.
Collaboration: Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, architects, DevOps, security, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment between technical solutions, product outcomes, customer needs, and business objectives.
Project Management: Lead the planning, execution, and successful delivery of features, ensuring they are completed on time, within scope, and to the highest quality standards.
Technical Excellence: Drive innovation and adoption of best practices in development, architecture, testing, observability, security, performance, cost optimization, and modern AI-native engineering practices.
Architectural Guidance: Be a thoughtful technical voice and support your team in making diligent architectural decisions across APIs, microservices, event-driven systems, cloud infrastructure, data stores, and AI-enabled capabilities.
Production Ownership: Ensure your team owns production quality through observability, incident management, RCA, bug hygiene, performance tracking, SLOs, and continuous reliability improvements.
Performance Management: Conduct regular performance evaluations, provide feedback, support professional growth, and coach engineers on technical depth, ownership, communication, and execution.

AI-powered cybersecurity risk analytics platform
Safe.Security provides a real-time cyber risk management platform for businesses. It collects and analyzes millions of signals per customer per day using AI to give a live view of an organization's risk posture. The platform connects with 50+ APIs, threat feeds, and user data, uses a Generative AI interface called SafeGPT, and maps risk across the MITRE ATT&CK kill chain to show where an attack could happen. It helps translate security controls into financial exposure for underwriting and guides which security investments to prioritize, with the broader goal of aligning cybersecurity risk with enterprise risk and securing appropriate cyber insurance.
