Most boards and executives are currently flying blind when it comes to cyber risk. They are guessing. At Safe, we’ve built an AI-driven engine that finally gives the C-Suite a clear, quantified, and real-time view of their security posture. We don’t just provide data; we provide certainty.
We are a $170M Series C-funded category leader. We don’t play in the mid-market; we operate at the highest levels of global enterprise. Today, we are proud to serve 10% of the Fortune 500, protecting global icons such as Apple, Netflix, AT&T, Verizon, and Victoria’s Secret.
As we scale toward our next chapter, we are looking for high-performers who want to do the best work of their careers at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.
The Culture Memo: Our Operating System
Safe is not a typical corporate environment. We are a high-intensity, mission-driven team. We value builders who want to define a category and work alongside people who are equally committed to excellence.
Extreme Ownership: We don’t do "not my job." We hire people who see a gap and own the solution from start to finish.
The Elite Standard: We serve the most sophisticated companies on the planet. Our work must be bulletproof. Whether it’s a line of code or a sales deck, we aim for Tier-1 quality every time.
Methodology & Rigor: We don’t wing it. From Force Management and MEDDICC in sales to data-driven sprints in engineering, we rely on proven frameworks to stay disciplined and predictable.
Radical Candor: We move too fast for politics or sugar-coating. We value direct, honest feedback that helps us find the right answer quickly.
The Series C Hustle: We have the stability of a well-funded leader but the heart of a startup.
The Perks & Ownership:
We want our team to feel like owners because they are owners. We trust our people to manage their results and their time.
Meaningful Equity: Every "Safestar" is a shareholder. You aren’t just an employee; you are a partner in our success.
Unlimited Leaves: We don’t believe in clock-watching. We offer unlimited leave because we trust you to take the time you need to recharge while staying committed to the mission.
Comprehensive Benefits: We provide top-tier medical insurance and wellness benefits to ensure you and your family are well cared for.
Career Trajectory: We are growing aggressively. For high-performers, the path for advancement moves at the speed of your ambition.
As a Staff Engineer – Network Security & Attack Path Intelligence, you will define and lead the technical direction of Safe’s network reachability and attack-path intelligence capabilities across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
You will be the hands-on architect behind systems that connect network topology, identities, vulnerabilities, security controls, and business-critical assets to determine how attackers can move through an enterprise environment.
You’ll collaborate with product, backend, graph, data, AI, and platform teams to build scalable, explainable, and enterprise-ready attack-path capabilities.
This is a high-impact, hands-on technical leadership role. You will architect systems, build prototypes, write production-quality code, and help shape how Safe’s CTEM platform identifies and breaks the attack paths that pose the greatest business risk.
Experience: 12+ years of experience in software engineering, network security, security product engineering, exposure management, or related areas, with a strong record of building and shipping production systems.
