About Tolmo

Autonomous security agents on a live knowledge graph of your code, cloud, and vendors. Tolmo finds vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats, then ships the fix. Backed by Accel and Y Combinator.

About the role

Security tools have a reputation: dense, noisy, and built for specialists who tolerate them. We think that's a design failure, not a law of nature. As a Software Engineer on Product, you build the surfaces where people meet our agents, and you make them feel fast, clear, and trustworthy. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Taste. You can tell when something is off, explain why, and fix it. You have shipped products you're proud of, and you can show us
  • Strong full-stack engineering skills, with deep experience in TypeScript and React and comfort working on APIs and databases
  • A track record of owning product features end to end, from ambiguous problem to polished, shipped experience
  • Care for UX at every level: information architecture, interaction design, performance, and accessibility
  • Comfort with complex, data-heavy interfaces, and the judgment to make them simple without hiding what matters
  • You build with AI coding agents daily (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) and ship fast without letting quality slip
More about this role

Tolmo is cybersecurity for the age of AI. Coding agents now ship software faster than any human team can review or secure it; 100+ pull requests per engineer per week is no longer an outlier, and attackers are using the same agents to find and exploit weaknesses in days, not months. The old playbook of quarterly pentests and endless alert queues breaks at this speed.

We're building a new security playbook. Tolmo runs a fleet of AI security agents that reason over a live graph of your entire production system (code, CI, cloud, and telemetry) and continuously attack a faithful copy of it like a real adversary. Every finding arrives validated, with its blast radius and a remediation plan that lands in your workflow, ready for a coding agent to fix. Hours to integrate, days to your first validated finding.

We've done this before: Tolmo's founders built Sqreen (acquired by Datadog) and led security products that thousands of organizations trusted. We're backed by Accel and Y Combinator and just getting started.
