## Job description

## 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!

## About the position

Salt Security protects APIs for large enterprises. Many of them will not send their traffic to anyone else's cloud, so they run our platform themselves - inside their own data centres and their own cloud accounts. The Edge team builds and ships what those customers run: the container images, the Helm charts, and the multi-region delivery that puts it all in their hands.

What will you do?

- Build and maintain the Helm charts and container images that enterprises install, and keep them correct across the versions customers are actually running.
- Own the container supply chain: multi-architecture builds, base-image and dependency currency, vulnerability remediation, and proving a fix genuinely reached the shipped artifact rather than just the source.
- Build and maintain the CI/CD that produces all of it.
- Collaborate with internal teams and field engineers to ensure seamless integration and deployment of applications.
- Use tools like Helm charts, Terraform, and GitOps to automate and manage deployments in cloud environments.
- Develop edge applications for cloud environments, primarily using Go.

Who are you?

- 3-5 years in Platform, DevOps, or Infrastructure engineering.
- Hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in production environments - running real workloads and debugging live cluster failures, not only using managed services.
- Experience authoring or substantially reworking Helm charts, beyond consuming existing ones.
- Hands-on experience designing and building CI/CD pipelines from scratch, not only maintaining existing ones.
- Hands-on experience with Cloud providers, with the security and operational complexity that implies.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and customer environments.
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills, particularly with distributed systems and cloud infrastructure.

Counts for a lot: having shipped anything a customer installs and runs themselves - on-prem software, an appliance, an agent, an air-gapped install, a released library you then had to support.

## 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.
