About Zafran

Zafran's agentic platform proves what attackers can exploit in your environment, then mobilizes your existing defenses to stop them. Backed by Sequoia and Menlo.

About the role

Build and maintain the tooling the field runs on - scripts, automations, and data utilities that shorten POV setup and remove manual work from the Sales Engineering team. Partner with Sales Engineers to stand up Proofs of Value: tenant configuration, integration scoping, data validation, and instrumentation of success criteria.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with a proven track record in research analysis, threat intelligence, threat detection engineering, or threat hunting
  • Ability to collect, process, analyze, and interpret large and imperfect datasets to derive actionable insights, and to reach a conclusion you can defend under challenge
  • Proficiency in programming/scripting languages, with a default instinct to automate a repetitive problem rather than repeat it
  • Working knowledge of enterprise security controls - EDR, NGFW, WAF, CNAPP and cloud security, vulnerability scanners - and how each one actually mitigates risk in practice
  • Experience with network/security-related data analysis
  • Proficiency in SQL and TCP/IP network fundamentals
More about this role

Description

Zafran is actively looking for an experienced Cyber Security Analyst to join the Sales Engineering organization at our dynamic cybersecurity startup. We are looking for an individual who thrives on unraveling the intricacies of computing environments and attackers' techniques, and who turns that understanding into tooling, data, and evidence our customers can act on. This role sits with the field rather than in R&D: you will research live customer and partner environments for risk, own threat intelligence for the go-to-market team, and build the tooling that makes every evaluation faster.

Our Mission: To stop the exploitation of vulnerabilities, everywhere.

What makes us different: In a world where AI-enabled attackers weaponize vulnerabilities within minutes, the old scan-and-patch-everything model no longer holds. Zafran's Exposure Graph continuously maps every vulnerability across your hybrid environment, chains exploitability through real attack paths and proves 90% of "critical" vulnerabilities can't actually reach you. It then neutralizes the real 10% using your compensating controls and safely remediates only where it matters.
