About the role
As our founding Staff Product Security Engineer, you'll work closely with the Head of Security & IT to set and execute the security strategy for the Endor Labs platform. That spans supply chain security, first-party code scanning, runtime monitoring, AI agent hardening, threat modeling and design reviews, along with deploying agents to improve quality and scale in each of these areas. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years in application or product security, including staff- or principal-level technical leadership
- A track record of building security tooling and automation that runs at scale across an engineering organization, and of measuring whether it works
- A track record of influencing a product or platform roadmap: you've turned internal security work into something other teams or customers adopt
- Deep threat modeling and secure architecture skills. You know a strong threat model is one of the biggest levers in AI-driven scanning efforts
- The ability to set direction and influence senior engineering, product and customer stakeholders without formal authority
- A fix-it mindset: you investigate, find root causes, and drive remediation rather than just reporting
More about this role
AI coding is the largest use case of enterprise AI adoption today. The development 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. In existing code, vulnerabilities are piling up 16x faster than companies can fix them, and adversaries are able to exploit these new vulnerabilities within hours.
That is where Endor Labs comes in. Our patented code context graph, which maps code, open source, containers and infrastructure, 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.
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...
