## Job description

## About depthfirst

We believe that software is the foundation of modern civilization. Yet vulnerabilities threaten its integrity, security, and resilience. We are on a mission to secure the world's software. depthfirst is building intelligence to detect and remediate critical software vulnerabilities. We are training and scaling security AI agents to discover zero-days vulnerabilities across large customer codebases and popular open source software. Our founding team includes deep expertise in data, infrastructure, security and LLMs with technical leaders from DeepMind, Databricks, Square, and Faire. We are looking for strong technical people who are interested in working at the intersection of AI, Security, and Infrastructure.

## About This Role

We’re looking for a Product Manager to help define and build AI-native security products for modern engineering and security teams. This is a high-ownership role for someone with sharp product instincts, strong technical judgment, and the ability to turn ambiguous customer problems into clear product direction. You’ll partner closely with Engineering, Research, Security, Design, Sales, and Solutions Engineering to shape product strategy and bring new capabilities from early customer signal to production. Depending on company priorities and your background, you may work on Agentic Pen-testing our Supply Chain security product suites.

- Own product areas end-to-end, from discovery through launch and iteration
- Work directly with enterprise security and engineering teams to understand workflows, pain points, and success criteria
- Translate ambiguous customer problems into crisp product bets
- Partner with Engineering and Research to build agentic systems for discovery, triage, remediation, validation, and prevention
- Build tight customer feedback loops to inform product decisions, trade-offs, and launches
- Help build products that transform enterprise security programs

## Qualifications

- Product management experience, or equivalent experience shipping technical products
- Technical CS background through degree, software engineering work, or hands-on technical experience
- Strong technical fluency with complex systems, APIs, data flows, and agentic workflows
- Excellent product judgment and ability to prioritize durable customer problems
- Strong written and verbal communication across technical and business teams
- High agency in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
- Located in or willing to relocate to San Francisco

Bonus Points For

- Experience with application security, vulnerability management, DevSecOps, secure SDLC, SAST, SCA, software supply chain security, or cloud security products
- Background building products for security teams, developers, platform engineers, or technical enterprise buyers
- Direct work with enterprise customers, especially security leaders, AppSec teams, or engineering leaders
- Prior startup experience in a high-growth startup environment

## What We Offer

- Competitive salary with meaningful equity
- Health, vision, and dental insurance
- Office lunch and dinner (when working from our SF office)
- High ownership and direct impact on product direction
- The opportunity to work at the cutting edge of AI and security

## About DepthFirst

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Autonomous security platform that uses AI to continuously find, validate, and fix exploitable vulnerabilities across code, infrastructure, dependencies, and runtime environments.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B, $80M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: Not publicly available
- **Founders**: Qasim Mithani, Daniele Perito, Andrea Michi

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Cybersecurity (AI-native autonomous security)
- **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise (developers, security teams, CISOs)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Secure the world’s most important software."

## Products & Services
- **Agentic Pentesting**: Autonomous penetration testing that runs dynamic exploits against running applications to confirm real attack paths.
- **Supply Chain Security**: Traces risk through full dependency trees and surfaces only vulnerabilities with a real execution path.
- **Secrets & Sensitive Data**: Detects and validates credentials across codebase, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime environments.
- **Code Security**: Finds vulnerabilities by tracing business logic, data flows, and cross-service interactions across the codebase.
- **Dependency Firewall**: Detects and blocks malicious behavior before it spreads in the environment.
- **Fix & Verify**: Generates merge-ready pull requests for every confirmed vulnerability, then replays the attack post-fix to ensure the vulnerability is truly resolved.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding $80M (Series B announced March 2026, led by Meritech Capital Partners; Series A with 12 investors)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Meritech Capital Partners (lead Series B), plus 12 Series A investors. Backed by leading investors in AI, security, and software.
- **Growth Signals**: 33 employees (366.7% YoY growth); 11 active job postings; claims 8x more true positives and 95% fewer false positives vs. leading tools; 90% of fixes accepted by developers; $5M in platform credits offered to open source maintainers via the Open Defense Initiative.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-native context-aware reasoning** – The platform understands code, business logic, and infrastructure to find complex vulnerabilities (including business logic flaws and chained exploits) that siloed tools miss.
- **Extremely low false positives and high fix acceptance** – 95% false positive reduction and 90% developer-accepted fixes create trust and productivity.
- **Founding team** – Built security at Cash App/Faire, infrastructure at AWS/Databricks, and AI research at Google DeepMind (contributions to Gemini, AlphaDev, Nature publications).
- **Continuous autonomous verification** – After each fix, the same attack is replayed in the running application; vulnerabilities are only closed when exploitation fails, not when code changes.

## Strategic Focus
- Advancing AI agents for security through reinforcement learning (training vulnerability discovery agents, e.g., dfs-mini1 model).
- Scaling enterprise adoption and expanding the Open Defense Initiative to secure widely deployed open source projects.
- Building a research-driven applied AI lab focused on software security.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Positioned as an "applied AI lab" at the frontier of security and AI research. Team members come from top companies like Databricks, Meta, Google DeepMind, Faire, and Notion.
- **Work policy**: On-site in San Francisco (multiple offices, including 250 Montgomery St and 1 Sutter St).
- **Open roles**: 11 positions across Engineering (Backend, Product, Security, Research), Sales (Account Executive, SDR, Solutions Engineer), Product Design, and Business Operations.
- **Notable perks**: Not explicitly detailed but typical for well-funded Series B startups; equity, competitive compensation, and the chance to work on cutting-edge autonomous security in a rapidly growing team.
