Our mission

To ensure the safe flourishing of humanity in a world with ever more advanced AI systems.

We recognize the tremendous potential of AI to positively impact the world, but also the risks posed if not developed carefully. Join our motivated team and help build the effective defenses humanity will need to protect against AI's risks & challenges.

What we've done

We're a rapidly growing, remote-first startup with brilliant, kind, and impact-driven folks across San Francisco, Sydney, and Melbourne.

Though we’re new, we're already making a big impact -- we’ve contributed to the safety evaluations of frontier models from leading AI labs, published three AI safety papers to massively positive reception (including 9 citations in the International AI Safety Report chaired by Yoshua Bengio), and spoken in front of an Australian Senate hearing on AI.

What we're working on

Cybersecurity is undergoing a tectonic shift due to AI and we need to ensure people & organizations are protected. We’re building AI defensive cybersec agents to defend mission-critical systems in a world where AI makes cyberattacks faster, cheaper, and much more sophisticated.

Our team

Our world-class team is made up of deeply experienced startup builders, managers, and engineers from orgs including Plaid, Vow, 0x, Culture Amp, Duke University, and MATS.

Geographic location & collaboration hours

As a remote-first team, it's important we find time to collaborate and support one another. To help facilitate this, we hire within a limited time zone range.

We consider candidates located between the Eastern Time (ET) and westward to Australian Western Standard Time Zone (AWST) (see map above). This includes Oceania, East Asia, most of North America, and parts of South America. We can only consider candidates primarily based in these regions or able to relocate there. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.

Our collaboration hours are 10pm - 3am UTC during your local weekdays (Examples: 6pm-11pm EDT / 3pm-8pm PDT / 8am-1pm AEST). We use this time for stand-ups, brainstorming sessions, pair programming sessions, and other meetings. You don’t necessarily have to work every day during these hours, but we expect you to generally be available to join meetings and collaborate with the team when needed.

Collaboration hours are a general rule of thumb, not a hard requirement. We understand that you may have some non-work needs (e.g. caregiver responsibilities, recovering from illness, personal emergencies) on certain days. As long as you communicate with your team and manager and are generally available during collaboration hours, that works for us 🙂.
