What we learn there becomes the foundation for a civilization-defining capability.\nWe’re a small, talent-dense team with high ownership, high velocity, and low ego. We care deeply, move fast, and are here to build something that outlasts us.\nTogether, we’ll redefine cyber-physical security for the AI age.\nWhat makes this role special?\nFirst dedicated Countermeasure Engineer operating across global deployments.\nOperate where cyber, physical, and environment collide.\nMake decisions under uncertainty and determine what actually matters.\nTurn field interactions into system learning that improves every deployment.\nWork in environments where precision and judgment matter.\nGain pre-Series A ownership as one of the first 10 engineers.\nWhat we’re looking for...\n3-6 years operating in environments involving real-world cyber-physical risk (Wi-Fi, BLE, rogue access points, IoT, robotics, embedded systems)\nAbility to reason across software, networks, hardware, and adversarial behavior.\nComfortable acting under ambiguity and adapting quickly.\nAbility to identify and assess covert or non-obvious threats (e.g. hidden cameras, rogue sensors, embedded devices)\nStrong engineering fluency (mobile, backend, data, or infra - breadth over specialization)\nClear communicator - translates chaotic observations into structured insight\nU.S. Person status (export-controlled environments).\nBonus if you’ve...\nWork in elite sports, live production, national-level events, or SOF/IC environments.\nHands-on with SDRs, packet capture, or technical counter-surveillance tools.\nOperated in forward-deployed or embedded roles.\nBuilt automation or workflows from real-world data.\nThrived in an early-stage startup.\nWhat you’ll do...\nDeploy globally for short, high-intensity engagements (~40-50% travel).\nWork directly with teams on the ground in high-stakes environments.\nIdentify and assess cyber-physical threats in the field.\nAct in real time to contain, remove, or mitigate threats.\nConvert countermeasures into clear, actionable guidance.\nBrief non-technical stakeholders clearly under pressure.\nSystematize patterns into repeatable frameworks across environments.\nClose the loop by feeding interactions back into system learning.\nPartner with RF, hardware, and product teams.\nHow we select...\nShort application\n20-minute intro call\nTechnical deep-dive\nPractical problem discussion\nReferences and offer\nFinal facts.\nBase salary up to $200,000, depending on qualifications, experience, and impact. Total compensation includes equity, premium insurance, 401(k), flexible PTO, and other individual benefits.\nYou’ll join us on-site at our HQ in New York City with occasional domestic and global deployments.\nApply. Make history.
