Horizon3 uses real-world attacks to safely show what attackers can actually do in your environment—so you can fix and prove what matters. Backed by NEA.
About the role
We're hiring a Senior Web Application Firewall Engineer to be the blue team voice inside the Firewall team. You'll sit between Product and Engineering as the person who defines what "correct" means. When an attack technique is detected, you decide what remediation that claim requires. Your judgment becomes the ground truth. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Partner with Product to turn WAF effectiveness and tuning ambitions into concrete, buildable requirements
- Translate blue team workflows and pain into prioritized product outcomes, and push back when a proposed feature or agent behavior would not hold up in a real SOC
- Define acceptance criteria for detection, effectiveness, and tuning features, and validate releases against them before customers see them
- Serve as the standing domain reference for Engineering and AI research: available for design reviews, technique questions, and vendor behavior questions
More about this role
Horizon3 is a fast-growing, remote cybersecurity company dedicated to the mission of enabling organizations to proactively find, fix and verify exploitable attack vectors before criminals exploit them. Our flagship product, the NodeZeroTM platform, delivers production-safe autonomous pentests and other key assessment operations that scale across the largest internal, external, cloud, and hybrid cloud environments. NodeZero has been adopted by organizations of all sizes, from small educational institutions to government agencies and Global 100 enterprises.

We are a fusion of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers & operators, and formerly frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We're committed to helping solve our common security problems: ineffective security tools and false positives, resulting in alert fatigue, blind spots, "checkbox” security culture, cybersecurity skills shortage, and the long lead time and expense of hiring outside consultants. Collectively, we are a team of learn-it-alls, committed to a culture of respect, collaboration, ownership, and results.
