# Offensive Security Engineer at Wraithwatch Corporation

- **Company:** Wraithwatch Corporation
- **Location:** United States
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-02-27
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-11
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/wraithwatch/92d9853b-c8df-45dd-871e-9a6eb11a9fd5

## Job description

Wraithwatch was founded by security engineers from SpaceX, Palantir, and Anduril to build the next generation of AI-powered cyber defense systems for the United States and its allies. We are deployed today to customers spanning Fortune 500, US Federal Government, commercial nuclear, aerospace, defense, maritime, and other emerging technology companies. Our core product is a cyber defense platform utilizing generative artificial intelligence agents to autonomously model a digital twin of an organization's entire IT and cybersecurity environment and analyze it for weaknesses, misconfigurations, and chains of possible attack.

As an offensive security engineer you will not only continuously harden Wraithwatch (the company and product) against advanced threats, you will also teach the system your expert attack tradecraft and have it evolve to execute it on its own.

Note: This is not a research position. You will be building and shipping things on the daily with the core product engineers.

## Basic Qualifications

- 5+ years professional experience conducting complex penetration testing assessments in commercial or government environments.
- Deep, hands-on understanding of the current landscape of offensive cyber tradecraft (in memory, fileless attacks, beacon object files, malleable C2, modern initial access vectors, emerging EDR bypasses, etc).
- Experience implementing or assisting with the implementation of enterprise / corporate security controls such as anti-malware policies, identity and access controls, detection engineering, device management, or similar.
- Interest in adapting AI to red teaming / penetration testing use cases. This is a hard requirement.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Interest in modern machine learning or artificial intelligence capabilities, especially emerging subsets of Generative AI such as agentic behavior, tool calling, knowledge graph integration, retrieval augmented generation, etc.
- Ability to deal with ambiguity and learn new technologies quickly.

Additional Requirements:

- Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed.

## About Wraithwatch Corporation

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Wraithwatch builds an autonomous, AI‑powered cyber defense platform that continuously models networks, computes attack paths in real time, and deploys defensive mitigations at machine speed.
- **Entity Type**: Private (seed‑stage; raised $8 M in seed funding)
- **Headquarters**: Bozeman, Montana, USA (company press release also cites Austin, TX, suggesting dual presence)
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Nik Seetharaman (CEO), Grace Clemente (President), Carlos Mas (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Cybersecurity, defense, aerospace, federal government, nuclear, maritime, advanced manufacturing, Fortune 500 enterprises.
- **Target customers**: B2B – large enterprises, federal agencies, critical infrastructure operators.
- **Mission**: Provide a unified data fabric and control plane that gives human and AI defenders unprecedented visibility and context, countering the growing hyper‑automation of offensive cyber attacks.

## Products & Services
- **Mission Control for Cyber Defense** – An autonomous, agent‑based platform that creates a continuously updated digital twin of an organization’s environment, enables federated querying directly from source data (no SIEM, data lake, or data warehouse required), and correlates unstructured threat reports to produce preventative controls or detection logic.
- **Identity Profiling and Blast Radius Computation** – Mathematically infers human vs. non‑human identity, computes potential blast radius, and monitors for behavioral changes.
- **Controls as Code** – Allows operators to define policies (prevention, detection) and the platform automatically configures the existing security stack to deploy them – either fully autonomously or with human‑in‑the‑loop approval.
- **Federated Querying From Source** – Reasons against source data wherever it lives, eliminating the need to centralise logs in a SIEM.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed (seed‑stage company).
- **Total Funding**: $8 M (Seed VC; last raised in 2023).
- **Key Metric**: $30 M federal contract (announced February 2026) to deploy the platform across multiple U.S. government agencies.
- **Notable Investors**: Founders Fund, XYZ Venture Capital, Human Capital, Felicis.
- **Growth Signals**: Selected for a major federal contract; expanding from seed stage to serve Fortune 500 and government customers; hiring aggressively across engineering, security, and growth roles.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founding team with elite operational background**: Co‑founders are veterans of JSOC, Palantir, SpaceX, and Anduril – they built cyber defense and counterespionage programs for rockets, weapons systems, and critical national‑security infrastructure.
- **Autonomous, AI‑native architecture**: The platform uses evolutionary algorithms and AI agents that swarm and hunt without needing a centralised data lake, reducing costs and deployment friction.
- **Directly addresses emerging threats**: Positions itself as the defensive counterpart to rapidly advancing offensive AI capabilities (recursive self‑improvement, exploit discovery).

## Strategic Focus
- **Federal & critical infrastructure expansion**: Leverage the recent $30 M contract to deepen relationships with defense and intelligence agencies.
- **Product maturity**: Continue building autonomous cyber defense capabilities – digital twins, real‑time attack path computation, and self‑adapting controls.
- **Talent acquisition**: Recruit engineers and security experts who can operate in a high‑intensity, mission‑driven environment.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as “the special forces of cyber startups” – expects 12–16 hour days, nights and weekends when the mission demands it. In return, employees get significant ownership, work at the bleeding edge of AI and cybersecurity, and join a team of battle‑hardened operators.
- **Work policy**: Primarily remote (most roles listed as “Remote – United States”); some federal‑facing roles (e.g., Enterprise Mission Manager) are hybrid in Washington DC.
- **Engineering culture**: Emphasis on autonomy, solving hard problems, and making an impact in national security. Open roles include Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Offensive Security Engineer, Security Engineer, and growth positions (Head of Growth, Account Executive – Commercial/Federal).
