## Job description

Head of Engineering

## CYBRET AI

Remote Norway and Europe preferred Full-time Early hire with meaningful equity

## About CYBRET AI

CYBRET AI is building Autonomous Security Infrastructure for modern organizations operating in complex, distributed, cloud-native environments. Our ambition is to move cybersecurity away from reactive, human-dependent workflows and toward continuous, intelligent, autonomous security. We design systems that combine human judgment where it matters with fully autonomous decision-making where speed, scale, and precision are required. We make a strict distinction between automation and autonomy. CYBRET AI does not rely on static rules or predefined playbooks. We build systems that understand context, reason over attack surfaces and exposure, assess real-world consequences, and take risk-based decisions. Our primary focus is Exposure and Vulnerability Management as a decision system, not a reporting layer.

## About the Role

This is a foundational leadership role with full ownership of engineering at CYBRET AI. As Head of Engineering, you will define how the platform is built, scaled, and operated. You will set technical direction, make architectural decisions, and build a high-performing engineering organization without sacrificing quality, depth, or rigor. You will work closely with the founder, product, security, and AI teams to ensure that CYBRET AI’s systems are robust, scalable, secure, and built for long-term autonomy. This role is hands-on. You are expected to design systems, review code, and lead by example.

## Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture Own the overall technical architecture of the CYBRET AI platform Make and communicate clear architectural decisions across backend, AI systems, data, and infrastructure Ensure the platform is scalable, reliable, secure, and observable Set engineering standards for quality, testing, and production readiness Engineering Execution Lead the implementation of core platform components Ensure fast, disciplined shipping without compromising correctness or security Balance speed and long-term maintainability in a high-growth environment

## Team Building & Culture

## What We’re Looking For

Strong experience leading engineering teams in complex, production systems Deep hands-on background as a senior software or platform engineer Proven ability to design and scale distributed systems Strong judgment and ability to make hard technical decisions Experience operating in early-stage or high-growth environments Experience in cybersecurity, cloud platforms, or AI-driven systems is a strong plus, but not required.

## How We Work

CYBRET AI operates fully remote. The team is currently based in Norway, but we hire internationally. We recruit based on merit, excellence, and intelligence. We value deep focus, clarity of thought, and strong ownership. This is an early-stage startup. The pace is high, structure evolves continuously, and impact is real. A strong shipping mindset is essential. Engineering leadership at CYBRET AI means building systems that work in the real world, not just designing them.

## Why Join CYBRET AI

You should join CYBRET AI if you want to:

- Own the technical foundation of an autonomous security company
- Build and lead a world-class engineering organization
- Work on complex, high-stakes systems that matter
- Be an early owner in a company with global ambition

## About CYBRET AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: CYBRET AI builds an autonomous security platform that uses a unified knowledge graph and neurosymbolic reasoning to continuously discover, validate, and respond to real attack paths across code, cloud, identity, and APIs.
- **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage, no disclosed funding rounds)
- **Headquarters**: Global (remote-first; team distributed across EU and US)
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed (described as a deliberately small group of security researchers, AI engineers, and former operators)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Cybersecurity (autonomous application security, exposure management, runtime detection and response)
- **Target customers**: Enterprise AppSec teams, CISOs, and security operations (B2B)
- **Mission/purpose**: Replace noise and manual effort with continuous, evidence-based validation and machine-speed defense — “no noise, no guesswork, only proven exposures.”

## Products & Services
- **Exposure Intelligence** (SaaS): Unified knowledge graph across 30+ sources (code, cloud, identity, SIEM, ITSM) to surface exploitable attack paths and rank by real-world risk. Deduplicates thousands of findings into a handful of real paths.
- **Validation** (SaaS): Continuous autonomous re-attack of every deploy and config change to earn or revoke “critical” status with signed proof-of-exploit capsules (trace, privilege graph, screenshot, rollback). Compliance-grade evidence for SOC 2, PCI, HITRUST, DORA.
- **Runtime Detection** (SaaS): Graph-native anomaly detection fused with UEBA and rule engines. Correlates runtime signals with known exploitable paths; agents author and execute reversible responses (contain, rotate, revert, validate) and synthesize runbooks.
- **Pricing tiers**: Free (one repo, full Exposure Intelligence, community support), Pro ($990/month, up to 25 apps, attack path analysis, Slack+Jira routing), Enterprise (custom, with all three products and priority support).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Early stage — no public revenue or funding round announced; team size under 25 people
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly listed; described as a “private research lab” with founder-led sales and early design partners
- **Growth Signals**: Active hiring for seven roles across engineering, research, security, and go-to-market; live platform at app.cybret.ai; processing 1.2 million events per second; expanding into US market (SF expansion planned)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Neurosymbolic reasoning engine** that traverses code, identity, cloud, and APIs the way an attacker would, rather than relying on CVSS scoring or scanner noise.
- **Autonomous agent orchestration** with full reversibility and auditability — every agent action is scoped and reversible, enabling machine-speed response without risk.
- **Unified knowledge graph** that correlates findings across 30+ connectors, deduplicating thousands of alerts into a handful of real, exploitable paths.
- **Continuous validation** that runs on every deploy or config change, not just periodic pen tests.

## Strategic Focus
- **Build a category-defining autonomous security platform** by expanding the knowledge graph, improving agent reasoning, and proving the model with enterprise design partners.
- **Scale go-to-market** in both EMEA and North America with a founder-led, proof-driven sales motion.
- **Maintain a small, high-leverage team** (<25 people) that owns unreasonable amounts of the product end-to-end, with deep focus and no ghost managers.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-first, async culture** with global team (EU and US); co-location when it matters, remote when it doesn’t.
- **Flat structure** where each person owns a surface of the product top-to-bottom — no layers, no busywork, deep focus by default.
- **Transparent compensation** (salary or OTE shared on the first call), meaningful equity, home-office stipend, and real PTO.
- **Hiring process** is under two weeks from first call to offer, no whiteboard leetcode, no unpaid projects; five-step process adapted to the role.
- **Work on genuinely hard problems**: neurosymbolic reasoning, agent orchestration, machine-speed defense — with a live platform and early customers already putting it to work.
