## About Salt Security

Salt Security is the leader in agentic and API security, protecting the world's most innovative enterprises from AI agent and API attacks. Agentic security is the practice of discovering and governing the relationships between LLMs, MCP servers, and the APIs that let AI agents take action. The Salt Security Agentic Security Platform secures the full agentic ecosystem, discovering all agents, MCP connections, and APIs, stopping attacks in real time, and eliminating vulnerabilities before they reach production. Salt Security was founded in 2016 and is backed by Sequoia Capital, S Capital, Tenaya Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Advent International, and other leading investors.

At Salt, we’re passionate about what we do. We work as a team and embrace new ideas, wherever they come from. We also enjoy all the benefits of a startup environment, including quickly seeing the results of your work, making an outsized impact on our company, and solving diverse challenges.

Want to make a big difference? We encourage you to apply!

What we’re looking for:

Salt Security is a leading cybersecurity company protecting APIs and modern applications in an increasingly AI-driven world. As we continue to scale, we are looking for a highly experienced, hands-on Controller to take ownership of our accounting and financial reporting processes.

This is a part-time, high-impact role with significant visibility. The ideal candidate goes beyond maintaining the books — they own the accounting function, anticipate problems before they escalate, and continuously drive efficiency. Strong technical accounting expertise combined with a practical mindset and a high degree of autonomy are a must.

About the position:

As our Controller, you will be responsible for overseeing core accounting operations, financial reporting, compliance, and tax-related activities for Salt Security. You will work closely with FP&A, Legal, HR, Operations, and external advisors to ensure accurate and timely reporting and a strong control environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Big 4 Manager, Assistant Controller, or experienced accounting professional who is looking for a flexible part-time role while continuing to have meaningful ownership and impact.

Responsibilities:

- Own and manage the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Israeli statutory requirements

- Oversee day-to-day accounting operations, including general ledger, journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and intercompany accounting

- Ensure accurate revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, including review of complex customer arrangements

- Manage and coordinate quarterly reviews and annual audits with external auditors

- Oversee tax compliance processes and coordinate with external tax advisors

- Maintain and strengthen accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls

- Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, reporting, and operational efficiency

- Support the implementation and optimization of accounting systems, ERP functionality, automation, and AI-based tools

- Partner closely with FP&A to ensure consistency and accuracy between accounting and management reporting

- Collaborate with Legal, HR, Operations, and other cross-functional teams on accounting, compliance, and financial matters

- Take ownership of special projects, financial analysis, and other ad hoc initiatives as the company scales

- Proactively identify issues, develop solutions, and drive them through to completion

Requirements:

Who are you?

- Licensed CPA with 2-3+ years of relevant post-internship experience in an Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager, or similar role
- Big 4 experience required, including completion of a Big 4 internship
- Alternatively, current or former Big 4 Manager with relevant accounting and audit experience
- Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP, with experience working with Israeli statutory accounting and reporting requirements
- Strong understanding of ASC 606 and SaaS revenue recognition
- Experience with NetSuite or a similar ERP system - preferred
- Experience in a B2B SaaS / technology company - preferred
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
- Strong Excel skills and a highly analytical mindset
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to independently manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Hands-on, ownership-driven mindset with a collaborative, cross-functional approach
- Strong interest in leveraging AI and automation to improve finance processes and productivity

## About Salt Security

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Cybersecurity (API security, Agentic AI security)
- **Target customers**: B2B, primarily large enterprises and global organizations
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “To be the global leader in Agentic Security.”

## Products & Services
- **Agentic Security Platform**: End-to-end platform that maps every agent, MCP server, and API into an “Agentic Security Graph” to provide discovery, posture management, and runtime protection.
- **API Posture Governance**: Enforces custom corporate standards for API compliance throughout the lifecycle.
- **Behavioral Threat Detection**: Uses ML/AI to establish a baseline of legitimate API behavior and detect anomalies including “low and slow” attacks.
- **Sensitive Data Exposure Prevention**: Identifies exposed sensitive data across APIs, including proprietary data types.
- **Agentic Discovery**: Automatically discovers all AI agents, MCP servers, shadow APIs, and zombie APIs across the environment.
- **Runtime Protection**: Real-time detection of abuse, anomalous behavior, and active attacks across the full agentic stack (LLMs, MCP servers, APIs).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (company is private; Crunchbase tags it as a “Unicorn”)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – not disclosed; last round was a Venture – Series Unknown in September 2022
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by 18 investors including **CrowdStrike Falcon Fund** and **Sequoia Capital**. Also listed as “backed by the best” on the company site.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount estimated at 101–250 (Crunchbase); founded in 2018 and now considered a unicorn; recognized as the “world leader in Agentic Security”; Salt Labs is the first and only API-dedicated global research organization.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Agentic Security Graph**: A holistic view that contextualizes risk across LLMs, MCP servers, and APIs – a unique approach that no other platform offers.
- **Deep API Security Heritage**: Eight years of dedicated API security research, with the Salt Labs team having discovered more API vulnerabilities than all other teams combined.
- **Full Lifecycle Coverage**: From discovery to posture management to runtime protection, covering the entire agentic stack in one platform.

## Strategic Focus
- **Agentic AI Security**: Prioritizing the security of AI agents, MCP servers, and the APIs they interact with as enterprises rapidly adopt AI.
- **Expanding Discovery & Protection**: Continuously improving the ability to detect shadow and zombie APIs, as well as new agentic components.
- **Industry Leadership**: Driving standards and awareness through Salt Labs research and responsible disclosure.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Values**: The company emphasizes five core values: “Make it easy,” “Move with speed. Get it done,” “One team,” “It’s all about our customers,” and “Keep it positive. Focus on the solution.”
- **Work Environment**: Collaborative, transparent, and aligned. “We win as a team.” Speed is considered a business strategy.
- **Location & Flexibility**: Headquarters in Palo Alto, CA. The careers page does not explicitly state remote/hybrid policy, but the company appears to operate in-office/hybrid given its Palo Alto location.
- **Growth Opportunity**: As a fast-growing unicorn in the cutting-edge space of agentic AI security, employees work on high-impact problems with a clear mission. The company is actively hiring across multiple roles.
