Our mission is to free engineers from endless firefighting and enable them to focus on creative, high-impact work. Our roots remain deeply embedded in AI research, and we're channeling that scientific rigor and creativity into building the premier AI agent lab for the enterprise. Hence, what we're proudest of is assembling the most talented yet nicest group of individuals, including researchers from MIT, Harvard, and Berkeley, to world-class engineers from industry: Citadel Securities, Cockroach Labs, Datadog, DE Shaw, ServiceNow, Glean, Perplexity, Pinecone, and more, to take on one of the hardest problems for AI to solve. Without the entire team, none of this would be possible. The Role This is a Staff-level Security Engineer hire and the first person at Traversal to own application security and cloud security end-to-end. We're looking for someone who can assess our current security posture, identify gaps, chart a roadmap, and implement fixes, tooling, and processes to make Traversal's security best-in-class. You'll be working on a platform that ingests sensitive production data from enterprise customers across some of the world's most complex environments. What you build here becomes Traversal's security foundation as we scale toward a Series B and beyond. This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership and organization-wide impact.
