Posted on Dec 21, 2024
Seal Security is a rapidly growing cybersecurity startup. We help customers save developer hours and headaches while reducing both software supply-chain risk and organizational friction- by making the process of remediating open-source vulnerabilities easier and more efficient with fully-compatible, security-patched versions of the libraries our customers are using. We are backed by top-tier venture capital firms, guided by industry-leading cybersecurity and go-to-market experts, and have exploded out of stealth mode with numerous Fortune 500 customers.

We are seeking a core team member to join us, with basic security background and a lot of curiosity, who will work directly with the CTO on the company's core technology.

This position offers a unique opportunity to join a startup at its inception. As a member of our R&D team, you'll be part of an ambitious and dynamic group. We leverage cutting-edge advancements in DevOps and LLMs and have developed an automated pipeline for security patches, addressing a significant gap in the open source remediation domain.

Are you up for the challenge?
