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-day vulnerabilities across large customer codebases and popular open source software. Our founding team brings deep expertise in data, infrastructure, security and AI, with leaders from DeepMind, Databricks, Square, and Faire. We're looking for thoughtful, driven people excited to work at the intersection of AI, Security, and Infrastructure.

- Manage onsite interview logistics and help create a thoughtful, welcoming experience for candidates visiting our San Francisco office
- Keep our ATS and recruiting systems accurate and up to date, ensuring interviews, feedback, and next steps don't fall through the cracks
- Proactively identify scheduling conflicts, process bottlenecks, and candidate experience issues and help solve them before they become problems
- Help build and improve recruiting processes, workflows, templates, and systems as our hiring volume grows
- Support recruiting initiatives across referrals, sourcing, recruiting events, offer coordination, and other projects as needed
- Learn the full recruiting lifecycle and take on increasing ownership as the company and recruiting team scale

## Qualifications

- Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills, with the ability to manage many moving pieces simultaneously
- A genuine desire to create a great experience for candidates
- Highly proactive and resourceful, you anticipate what needs to happen next rather than waiting to be asked
- Strong sense of urgency and ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality
- Comfortable working with senior leaders and managing frequently changing schedules and priorities
- High ownership mentality and comfort with ambiguity...you thrive in fast-moving environments where processes are still being built
- Excited to learn, take on more responsibility, and grow within recruiting

Bonus Points For

## 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.
