## 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.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Security Engineer with 1-2 years of experience to join our Internal Security team. This role combines hands-on cloud and security operations with support for GRC and compliance activities. You will be involved in securing our cloud, SaaS, and AI-driven systems, monitoring security events, and helping maintain our overall security posture. In parallel, you will support customer security questionnaires and compliance processes.

What You'll Do:

- Monitor, triage, and investigate security alerts and incidents across cloud and security tools (EDR, CASB, ZTNA, SaaS security platforms, and identity providers), and support response and remediation activities
- Assist in securing cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure), including IAM, access controls, network security, and CI/CD pipeline security
- Work closely with DevOps and IT teams to implement and enforce security best practices across infrastructure, endpoints, and SaaS systems
- Support vulnerability management processes, including scanning, prioritization, and remediation tracking
- Support risk management processes by identifying, assessing, and tracking risks, including vulnerability management, remediation efforts, and control gaps
- Support customer security questionnaires (RFPs/RFIs) with accurate technical responses
- Assist in maintaining compliance with frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, including preparing audit evidence and documentation

Who You Are?

- 1-2 years of experience in cybersecurity, cloud security, and security operations
- Basic hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Understanding of core security concepts: IAM, networking, least privilege, and secure configurations
- Experience or strong interest in collaborating with DevOps and IT teams, alongside a focus on AI security, data protection, and emerging technologies
- Familiarity with security tools such as EDR, vulnerability scanners, or SaaS security solutions
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with high attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks
- Good communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
- Willingness to learn and grow in both technical security and GRC domains

Nice to Have:

- Experience with cloud security best practices and securing CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, etc.)
- Familiarity with identity systems (Okta, Azure AD, etc.)
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST

## 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.
