## Job description

## Who We Are

AI coding is the largest use case of enterprise AI adoption today, as is evident from the success of Anthropic on Claude Code, Cursor’s $60B exit to SpaceX, and Cognition’s $48B valuation.

The bottleneck now has moved from code generation to security and safety - AI agents write code faster than any team can review it, and over 65% of the lines of code produced by them are insecure. Vulnerabilities are piling up 16x faster than companies can fix them, and adversaries are able to exploit these new vulnerabilities within hours.

AURI by Endor Labs closes that gap. It runs inside the harness where coding agents work, through hooks, skills and MCP, so the controls sit outside the model and every agent action is visible. Underneath is our patented code context graph, which maps code, open source, containers and infrastructure. It shows which vulnerabilities can actually be reached and exploited, then delivers fixes that won’t break the application. Security teams get evidence instead of noise, and developers get fixes instead of tickets.

The companies building AI trust us to secure it - our customers include OpenAI, SpaceX, DoorDash, Dropbox, Atlassian, MongoDB, Snowflake, Robinhood and Peloton to name a few.

Endor Labs is the third company from Founder & CEO Varun Badhwar, who built Prisma Cloud, the platform that helped define cloud security, from $0 to $300M ARR at Palo Alto Networks. We’ve raised $163M from Lightspeed, Coatue, DFJ Growth, Salesforce Ventures and Dell Technologies Capital.

Software runs everything around our lives today - banking, hospitals, airports and power grids. AI now writes more of it every day, and our mission is to make sure the world can trust that software. Come build that future with us.

## How You'll Make an Impact

- Design and build core backend features end-to-end for our SaaS products, working closely with Product Management and our distributed Engineering team.
- Contribute to large-scale technical projects, helping ensure the scalability, reliability, and performance of our systems.
- Participate in architectural discussions and help drive sound technical decisions that support the long-term health of our codebase.
- Write clean, well-documented, and testable code that serves as a reference for engineering best practices.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate product requirements into robust technical solutions.
- Actively participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and helping maintain high code quality across the team.
- Use best practices of observability to ensure that the product and platform deliver excellent reliability and availability for our customers.
- We encourage and support active participation in external technical forums, conferences, and open-source communities.

## What You Bring to the Table

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of experience building scalable backends for product/SaaS companies.
- At least 2 years of experience in Golang programming with a focus on microservices/distributed architecture.
- Practical experience in designing APIs with one or more frameworks (gRPC preferred).
- Strong understanding of scalable distributed systems — microservices, domain-driven design, load balancing, horizontal/vertical scaling, and stateless architectures.
- Ability to write clean, maintainable code and documentation that can serve as examples for engineering best practices.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with evolving requirements.
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work creatively and independently when navigating unfamiliar territory.
- Practical experience in troubleshooting distributed systems and identifying root causes.
- Prior experience with Java or JVM-based technologies (e.g., Spring Boot, Gradle, Maven) is a strong plus. Familiarity with Java ecosystems can be valuable when working on our analysis pipelines and integrating with diverse customer environments.

We’re building at the intersection of developer productivity and security — one of the fastest-growing spaces in software. Our dev-loved platform has real ROI, strong momentum, and customers who care about doing things right.

At Endor Labs, we think big, start small, and learn fast. We take ownership, move with purpose, and always start with the customer’s success. We debate with data, make the complex simple, and challenge each other with kindness and candor. We celebrate wins, learn from misses, and have fun along the way — because when our customers win, we all win.

Endor Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Even if you don't fit every requirement above, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives and experiences, so we encourage all talented individuals to apply—there's no one-size-fits-all here.

## About Endor Labs

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Endor Labs provides an agentic application security platform that helps teams find, prioritize, and fix the most critical risks in code—whether written by humans or AI—faster.  
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B); total funding $188M  
- **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States  
- **Founded**: 2021  
- **Founders**: Varun Badhwar and Dimitri Stiliadis  

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Application security, software supply chain security, AI security  
- **Target customers**: B2B, enterprise AppSec and development teams (including Fortune 500)  
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Eliminating developer frustrations and security risks from the modern software development process” ([endorlabs.com/about](https://www.endorlabs.com/about))

## Products & Services
- **AURI (Agentic AI AppSec Platform)**: Combines agentic reasoning with deterministic program analysis to deliver verifiable, audit-ready security findings across AI-generated and human-written code. Integrates with AI coding agents via Hooks, Skills, MCP, or CLI.  
- **Secrets Detection**: Detects and validates exposed secrets in code.  
- **Malware Prevention**: Prevents malware from infiltrating the software supply chain.  
- **SCA Reachability**: Reachability-based analysis of direct and transitive open-source dependencies.  
- **Container Reachability**: Reachability-based scanning of container images.  
- **AI SAST**: AI-native detection, triage, and remediation of flaws in source code.  
- **AI Security Code Review**: Continuous AI-powered security reviews for pull requests.  

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)  
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue $55.0M (LinkedIn estimate); total funding $188.0M across 4 rounds (Series A $70M in 2024, Series B $93M in 2025)  
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: DFJ Growth, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Coatue, Dell Technologies Capital, and over 40 industry leading operators and executives  
- **Growth Signals**: Fastest-growing AppSec company ever (per company); headcount 162 (+32.2% YoY); operates in 10 countries; launched agentic AI platform for the “vibe coding” era; expanded from reachability-based SCA to a full AppSec platform in 2024  

## Competitive Advantages
- **Reachability & exploitability analysis** cuts through noise by showing only vulnerabilities that actually affect the codebase.  
- **Deterministic program analysis + agentic reasoning** provides verifiable, reproducible findings with audit-ready evidence.  
- **Full-stack reachability** across source code, open-source dependencies, containers, and secrets.  
- **Integrated but independent security layer** for AI coding agents – enforces policy-as-code across all agents without blocking developer velocity.  

## Strategic Focus
- Leading security for the “vibe coding” era where most code will be AI-generated.  
- Continuing to expand the platform beyond software composition analysis into full application security (SAST, secrets, container, malware).  
- Deepening integrations with AI coding assistants (via Hooks, Skills, MCP, CLI) to embed security without friction.  

## Why Work Here
