ZeroDrift checks everything AI says against regulations like SEC, FINRA, and HIPAA plus your own company policies, then fixes or blocks violations before they're sent. Backed by a16z speedrun.
About the role
You build the systems that let any app or AI agent ask ZeroDrift, in milliseconds, whether a message is allowed. You own how agents and developers connect to us, and the backend that keeps every rule current. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role with real say over the architecture. You will be one of our first engineers, shaping the architecture of a new category, with the ownership and equity upside to match.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years building and running production backends at scale
- Strong in a modern backend language (for example Go, Python, Java, or Node)
- Solid with APIs, distributed systems, databases, queues, and caching
- Comfortable with cloud, containers, and CI/CD
- You care about latency, reliability, and clean code in equal measure
More about this role
ZeroDrift is building the AI-native enforcement infrastructure for enterprise communication. We are the first platform that enforces the rules before an AI message is ever sent, fixing violations in real time across every channel where AI speaks for the business. Everything goes out clean. Nothing dangerous comes in.
As AI starts to communicate on behalf of entire organizations, the gap between what compliance requires and what companies can actually enforce is widening fast. Every existing solution monitors after send, once the risk is already out the door. ZeroDrift enforces before send. Enforcement did not exist as a category. We created it.
We are backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and other world-class VCs, and built by a team from Microsoft, Google, and Goldman Sachs, led by a repeat AI founder.
