## 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

- You will play a pivotal role in architecting and building the core backend infrastructure for our SaaS products.
- You will lead and contribute to large-scale technical projects, ensuring the scalability, reliability, and performance of our systems.
- Design, architect, and build features end-to-end while working closely with Product Management, and our distributed Engineering team
- Play a significant role in driving innovation, making critical architectural decisions, and leading the implementation of cutting-edge technologies.
- We encourage and support active participation in external technical forums, conferences, and open-source communities, allowing you to contribute to the broader tech community and stay at the forefront of industry trends.
- Mentor and coach team members by sharing your expertise, and promoting best practices within the team to foster a culture of continuous learning and growth.
- Use best practices of observability to ensure that the product and the platform have the best reliability and availability for our customers.

## What You Bring to the Table

- Bachelor's degree in engineering with 10+ years of experience building scalable backends for product/SaaS companies.
- At least 3-years experience in Golang programming with a focus on microservices/distributed architecture
- Practical experience in designing APIs with one or more frameworks (gRPC [preferred], ReST, GraphQL, Thrift, etc.).
- Ability to build and design technical solutions from scratch and your code and documentation can be used as an example for coding best practices at Endor.
- Scalable Distributed System Experience - understand micro-services and domain-driven design, load balancing, horizontal/vertical scaling, and stateless architectures.
- Architecture - knowledge of data structures and a keen eye for building architectures that scale and extend easily for longevity. Apply data-driven techniques to evaluate and propose architectural choices.
- Ability to discuss tradeoffs between architecture’s choice to influence groups to move in the right direction.
- Able to enjoy working in a fast-moving environment with evolving requirements.
- Ability to solve problems creatively and independently when in uncharted or unfamiliar territory.
- Practical experience in troubleshooting distributed systems and ability to solve root causes.

## 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)

- **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.
