Job Description:
What You'll Do

  • Develop and scale the backbone of our core audit product. You’ll scope, build, and launch product features that will enable our customers to replace the manual processing of vast amounts of unstructured data.
  • Set the foundations to build a fault-tolerant platform. We need to execute resource-intensive workflows on sensitive data.
  • Help set product direction. You’ll contribute to the roadmap, balancing customer feedback with long-term product health.

You…

  • Have built and scaled secure systems (AWS preferred).
  • Got experience with security frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and always wanted to automate them.
  • Are excited to build not only a platform but a company secure by design from day one.
  • Want to move quickly, own problems end-to-end, and iterate with limited guidance.
  • Comfortable working client-facing when needed.
  • Have strong opinions on secure defaults, but can balance pragmatism with rigor.

This is a great fit if you…

  • Enjoy building great products and are happy to take ownership end-to-end to get there.
  • Have previously or want to found something yourself in a few years time.
  • Would like to move from London to SF next year (with visa support).
  • Have high agency and a constant drive for impact.
  • Flourish in autonomy, complexity, and ambiguity.
  • Want to work in-person from our office in London (most of the time)
  • Deeply fascinated by artificial intelligence, and how it will shape the future.

This won't be the right role if you…

  • Are uncomfortable with ambiguity. We are still very early and are constantly adjusting based on what we learn.
  • Prefer to go deep and focused
  • Are looking to manage others. We're firmly looking for someone who, for now, wants to be an individual contributor.
  • Expect all the perks of a big company. We will try to be competitive in what we offer, but we can't match what others do.
  • Get satisfaction predominantly by learning new technologies. We are building something new in an old industry, we need to use boring but proven methods where possible.
