## Job description

## About Corridor

Software development is becoming autonomous. The fastest teams already work this way, and at Corridor, we are leading the way on secure development as the rest of the industry follows.

Security tools were designed for a world where a person wrote the code and a person reviewed it. That's changing quickly. Corridor is securing software factories. We are the security solution for software that builds itself at every level of autonomy. We are preventing vulnerabilities as agents write code, and guiding teams to help decide what's safe to ship.

We're a small, talented team, led by Jack Cable (Former CISA - Secure by Design), Ashwin Ramaswami (Former CISA, Stanford, and Schmidt Futures) and, Alex Stamos (Former CISO of Facebook, Yahoo, SentinelOne).

Corridor is backed by Conviction, with a $25M Series A led by Felicis and our customers include ElevenLabs, Lovable, Mercor, and Langchain.

## What You’ll Do

- Build and experiment with AI systems for code understanding, vulnerability detection, and agentic security tools
- Implement research ideas end-to-end, from prototypes and benchmarks to production-ready systems
- Collaborate on applied research projects and contribute to publications, blog posts, or benchmarks
- Help design and maintain infrastructure for model evaluation, training, and experimentation
- Work closely with product and engineering teams to integrate AI capabilities into Corridor’s platform
- Stay current with new developments in AI, especially as they relate to code and security

## What We’re Looking For

- Strong engineering background with experience building real systems or projects
- 2+ years of industry or research experience in software engineering, ML, or a related field
- Hands-on experience writing production-quality code (Python, ML frameworks, backend systems, vector stores, hybrid search, databases, etc.)
- Interest in applied AI research and the ability to turn ideas into working software
- Familiarity with model fine-tuning, evaluation pipelines, or RL-style environments
- Self-directed and curious. You can take ownership of ambiguous projects

## Nice to Have

- Experience with code generation and/or security
- Prior research experience or publications in ML/AI or security venues
- Open-source contributions or public technical writing (blogs, benchmarks, demos)

## About Us

- Co-founder and CEO Jack Cable is a top-ranked bug bounty hunter who previously led Secure by Design at CISA.
- Co-founder and CTO Ashwin Ramaswami built large-scale systems at Skiff, Caldera, and Nooks, and published research on AI and open foundation models at Stanford.
- CPO Alex Stamos is the former CISO of Facebook, Yahoo, and SentinelOne and a current lecturer at Stanford University.

Some of our angels and advisors include Russell Kaplan (Cognition), Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face), Jonathan Frankle (Databricks), and Mike Krieger (Anthropic).

## About Corridor

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Corridor provides an AI-powered agentic coding security management (ACSM) platform that prevents security vulnerabilities at the source by embedding real-time guardrails into AI coding tools.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2024 (based on funding timeline)
- **Founders**: Jack Cable (CEO & Co-founder) and Ashwin Ramaswami (CTO & Co-founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Cybersecurity / AI Security / Software Development
- **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise (engineering and security teams using AI coding assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot)
- **Mission statement**: "Secure AI Coding at the Source" — enabling teams to ship code faster without sacrificing security by embedding security into the development process.

## Products & Services
- **Agentic Coding Security Management (ACSM) Platform**: A layered security solution that includes:
  - **Real-time guardrails**: Gives AI coding agents context and rules to write secure code from the beginning, preventing vulnerabilities at the source.
  - **Automated PR reviews**: Scans every pull request for security issues and provides findings and remediation guidance directly in the developer workflow.
  - **Security findings in code**: Analyzes existing codebases to surface vulnerabilities, weak configurations, and more with severity ratings and recommended fixes.
  - **Continuous observability**: Monitors all AI-generated code and security policy compliance, providing visibility into how code is being written and flagging policy violations.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: $200 million (as of Series A in March 2026) [fortune.com](https://fortune.com/press-releases/corridor-raises-25m-series-a-ai-coding-security-2026-03-18/)
- **Total Funding**: $30.4 million (Seed: $5.4M led by Conviction in 2025; Series A: $25M led by Felicis in March 2026) [fortune.com](https://fortune.com/press-releases/corridor-raises-25m-series-a-ai-coding-security-2026-03-18/)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Felicis (lead Series A), Conviction, Timeless, Artisanal Ventures, Lux Capital, Sunflower Capital, Datadog, SV Angel, and angels from Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor, Cognition, Factory, Lovable. Partners include Cursor and Factory for native integrations. [fortune.com](https://fortune.com/press-releases/corridor-raises-25m-series-a-ai-coding-security-2026-03-18/)
- **Key Customers**: Mercor, Langchain, Pylon, Sublime Security [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/corridorsecurity) [fortune.com](https://fortune.com/press-releases/corridor-raises-25m-series-a-ai-coding-security-2026-03-18/)
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 1,350% YoY to 15 employees; LinkedIn followers grew 667.5% yearly; monthly headcount growth of 7.4% [rocketreach.co](https://rocketreach.co/corridor-profile_b5c8b2f321c2c2f3)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Native integration with AI coding agents**: Runs directly inside Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Factory — providing security at the prompt level, not bolted on after code is written. [fortune.com](https://fortune.com/press-releases/corridor-raises-25m-series-a-ai-coding-security-2026-03-18/)
- **Founding team credibility**: CEO Jack Cable is a top-ranked bug bounty hunter who helped start CISA’s Secure by Design initiative; CTO Ashwin Ramaswami has published research on AI at Stanford; CPO Alex Stamos was CSO at Facebook, Yahoo, and SentinelOne. [fortune.com](https://fortune.com/press-releases/corridor-raises-25m-series-a-ai-coding-security-2026-03-18/)
- **First-mover in ACSM category**: Defined the "Agentic Coding Security Management" category, addressing a market gap that traditional security tooling (designed for human-written code) cannot fill. [fortune.com](https://fortune.com/press-releases/corridor-raises-25m-series-a-ai-coding-security-2026-03-18/)
- **Proactive vs. reactive model**: Prevents vulnerabilities at generation time rather than catching them after the fact — a paradigm shift in application security. [felicis.com](https://www.felicis.com/blog/proactive-security-for-the-code-gen-era)

## Strategic Focus
- **Expand ACSM platform capabilities**: Deepening integrations across modern developer tools and expanding the platform's feature set. [fortune.com](https://fortune.com/press-releases/corridor-raises-25m-series-a-ai-coding-security-2026-03-18/)
