About the role

General Matter builds its own technology: the software, firmware, control systems, and infrastructure that run an industrial nuclear fuel facility. At most companies, a security bug costs you data. Here, the software we build, and any security vulnerabilities we miss, touch the real world. The Security team's job is to find those gaps before anyone else does. We do that through offensive testing, code audits, design reviews, and hardening the systems we ship. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field
  • Security experience in one or more of the following: C, C++, Rust, Go, Python, x86, ARM, cryptography, reverse engineering, embedded systems, or network protocols
  • A strong understanding of common vulnerability classes and how to exploit them, such as SQLi, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, memory corruption, and authentication or authorization flaws
  • Experience auditing code and features, and comfort reading large codebases you didn't write
  • Strong investigative and analytical problem-solving skills. You keep digging after the obvious attacks fail
  • Clear written communication. A finding only counts if the engineer who owns the system understands it and can fix it

About the company

General Matter enriches uranium.

We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.

In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.

Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.

Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.

We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.

Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.

We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.

Help us build a high-energy society by making the...
