Overview

Profile match
Darktrace is a British cybersecurity company founded in Cambridge in 2013 by mathematicians and former government intelligence staff, built on the idea that a network can be defended by learning its own normal behaviour rather than matching known attack signatures. Its Self-Learning AI builds a live model of how each user, device and workload usually behaves, flags deviations that no signature would catch, and can act autonomously to contain an intrusion in progress. The company listed in London in 2021 and was taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2024 for around five billion dollars, and it protects networks, email, cloud and operational technology for thousands of organisations.

Darktrace is a global leader in AI-driven cybersecurity, helping organizations stay ahead of evolving threats every day.

Darktrace was built on a genuinely differentiated idea: that Adaptive AI could detect and respond to novel, real-time cyber threats. That approach matters more than ever in the era of AI. Today, our customers depend on us to stay ahead.

At Darktrace, we are energized by that responsibility. We work across teams and rally around a shared goal. We own outcomes end to end - step in, step up and see things through without waiting to be asked. We make decisions with urgency, say the hard thing, and hold each other to high standards with care and directness. We move first and learn fast anticipating where our customers are going next, continuously challenging ourselves.

We invest in the skills, learning and opportunities that help people deliver at the level their roles demand, and reward the aptitude and curiosity to grow beyond them.

Our Values: Own It | Win as One | Raise Our Bar | Move First. Learn Fast
