Supply Chain & Procurement Specialist
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 31, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 25, 2026.
Description
If you've ever dreamt of being there when it all started, this one's for you.
At Zeroport, we're rethinking how humans and AI agents securely access and interact with critical systems.
As AI becomes more autonomous, controlling what it can access is no longer enough. We're pioneering Least Agency: limiting what AI agents (and humans) can actually do, and enforcing those boundaries independently through physical containment.
Our approach combines purpose-built hardware, robust software, and non-IP connectivity to enable secure, real-time work for both AI agents and humans, without exposing the protected network.
It sounds bold, we know. That's exactly the point.
Who We Are
Zeroport is pioneering Least Agency for AI and human network access.
Our hardware-enforced architecture creates physical boundaries between AI agents, human users, and critical systems, limiting what they can reach and do by design.
We're a focused, technical team with a strong builder mentality, moving fast to redefine how humans and AI securely interact with the world's most critical systems.
