Culture

How we work

Security engineers first

Everyone on the team has worked in an operational security environment. Product decisions are grounded in what actually happens in a SOC during an active incident, not what looks good in a sales demo.

Small and intentional

Four people. Seed stage. We're not hiring for headcount — we're hiring for specific capabilities the platform needs. If we add a role, it's because we've identified a clear gap in what we can build without it.

Arlington, VA — on purpose

Located one mile from Rosslyn Metro. Proximity to the DC defense and intelligence community is a deliberate choice — our first customers and most of our product feedback come from that ecosystem.

Interested in joining the team?

We're a seed-stage company, which means equity is real and every role matters. If you've worked in detection engineering, threat intelligence, or SOC operations and want to build tooling instead of just using it — talk to us.
