About the role
We're looking for a Founding Engineer, Security to help build the security infrastructure for the agentic enterprise. AI agents are rapidly gaining access to source code, cloud environments, developer tools, credentials, internal data, and production systems. The security model for this world is still being invented.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience in security engineering, detection engineering, security infrastructure, backend engineering for security products, or adjacent fields
- Strong software engineering skills and experience building production systems
- Deep understanding of security fundamentals across identity, authentication, authorization, networks, cloud infrastructure, endpoints, or application security
- Experience working with security telemetry and turning large volumes of events into useful security signals
- Ability to think adversarially and understand how attackers abuse complex systems
- Experience designing and operating distributed systems, data pipelines, or security infrastructure in production
More about this role
Asymptote is building the AI Detection & Response layer for the agentic enterprise .
AI agents are becoming enterprise infrastructure, but security teams have no unified system of record for what they're doing. Asymptote delivers the telemetry, detection, and response layer that makes AI agent activity observable and secure.
Beacon is our open-source foundation powering that future. It was named one of the hottest open source cybersecurity tools in June 2026.

AI agents are rapidly gaining access to source code, cloud environments, developer tools, credentials, internal data, and production systems. The security model for this world is still being invented.
We're looking for an engineer who understands both sides of that problem: how attackers think and how production security systems need to work. Someone who can dissect a new agent attack in the morning, design the detection in the afternoon, and ship it into a production system used by security teams.
This isn't a traditional security engineering role. You'll work directly with Asymptote's founders across...
