Pros
AppSec is broken today. Too many false positives, and too slow to field fixes. Worse, we're creating code faster than it can be secured. Github estimates there is something like 500x developers per security researcher. We showed the art of the possible first: appsec autopilot is possible. Our tech was proven in research at the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge. However, far too many great ideas are left on the research bench. We're committed to seeing this through to make a change in the world. Our product Mayhem is purpose built to make autonomous appsec possible. We need this to scale with the scope, speed, and scale of modern development, and to finally beat attackers. The only way to do this is with a great team. We're not bringing a new web widget or clever workflow to market; we're bringing brand-new hard-core tech. Come work with us if you're the type who likes solving hard tech challenges. I'm CEO, and team culture is tremendously important to us. One aspect I take seriously is transparency. In that spirit, I'd like to offer the results of our latest anonymous employee engagement poll from Q1 2021 (we run 2x a year). We had a 92% response rate. * Team Culture: 100/100 * Psychological safety: 86/100 * Work relationships: 90/100 * Self-efficacy: 97/100 * Mangement: 93/100 * Job Satisfaction: 90/100 * Fit and belonging: 93/100 * Feeling valued: 86/100 * Engagement: 90/100 * Commitment: 100/100 I'm committed, along with the entire management team, to continue to work and aspire for the perfect 100/100 everywhere.
Cons
Startups are like putting together an airplane while you're flying, and bringing new tech makes it both more meaningful, but also more challenging. You need to be someone who is comfortable going outside your comfort zone sometimes.
