Head of Growth
New York · Full-time
Why join Strix?
Security testing could move from an occasional audit to a check on every deploy, and every engineering team that ships code would end up depending on it. If Strix's autonomous agents can probe apps, APIs, and codebases on every push, security becomes a routine CI check, as ordinary as a linter. This open-source San Francisco cybersecurity startup raised a $7M seed backed by Vercel and a16z Scout Fund, and it is hiring four.
JustBacked's take, based on Strix's own site and its funding and hiring data.
About Strix
We believe that software is the foundation of modern civilization, yet vulnerabilities threaten its integrity, security, and resilience. Strix is on a mission to solve security.
Strix builds autonomous AI penetration testing agents that think like attackers: discovering, validating, and helping fix real vulnerabilities across live applications, codebases, and infrastructure, continuously, not once a year. We are looking for strong technical people who want to work at the intersection of AI, security, and infrastructure.
