We're a small, senior team shipping a product we'd want to use ourselves. If privileged access, identity, or secure infrastructure is the problem you actually enjoy thinking about, you'll likely fit in here.
Privileged access is one of the highest-stakes surfaces in a modern estate. What we ship has to hold up to real audits, real incidents, and real operators—no vanity metrics, no demo-ware.
Two to five people per pod, each owning a meaningful slice of the platform end to end. You decide the shape of what you build, not which Jira ticket to drag into review.
Everyone here has shipped infrastructure, security, or developer tools at scale before. Expect high context, short meetings, and strong defaults around written thinking.
We optimize for durable output, not perpetual presence. That shows up in a few concrete defaults.
No headquarters-centric culture. Roles are open across North American and European time zones unless explicitly noted.
Written docs, recorded walkthroughs, and deliberate review cycles. Real-time time is spent on decisions that need it—not status.
Two meeting-light days a week across the company. Interviews and all-hands are scheduled around them.
Small, reversible changes reach production behind flags. Incidents are learning artifacts, not punishments.
Competitive cash and meaningful equity, benchmarked against a public, updated salary band.
Medical, dental, and vision fully covered for employees and dependents in supported regions.
Unlimited PTO with a 20-day minimum, plus a one-week company-wide shutdown each year.
Annual hardware budget and a home-office stipend. Bring the setup you actually want to work on.
Budget for conferences, courses, and security training. Time to use it is part of the plan, not a favor.
Sixteen weeks fully paid for all new parents, with a gradual ramp-back schedule.
Don't see your exact role but think you'd fit? Reach out anyway—we hire carefully and we're always interested in meeting strong operators.
Senior Backend Engineer, Access Gateway
Own the hot path of the brokering engine—protocol termination, policy evaluation, and session lifecycle.
Staff Security Engineer
Lead product-security review across the platform, from threat modeling to incident response.
Senior Frontend Engineer, Admin Console
Shape the console operators and auditors live in—policy authoring, session review, and approvals.
Site Reliability Engineer
Run the control plane our customers depend on—observability, capacity, and incident readiness.
Detection & Response Engineer
Turn our session evidence into signals customers can act on, and build the detections we use ourselves.
Solutions Engineer
Partner with security architects to design Wardengate rollouts that survive real environments.
Enterprise Account Executive
Own enterprise relationships from first conversation through expansion, with a technical co-pilot at every stage.
Technical Writer, Documentation
Own the documentation operators and auditors rely on to stand Wardengate up and keep it running.
You’ll work deep in the gateway: connection brokering for SSH, RDP, and database protocols, policy evaluation under real traffic, and the session lifecycle that produces our audit evidence. Strong background in systems programming, concurrency, and wire protocols expected.
You’ll be the most senior security voice embedded with product and engineering. Expect to run threat models on new features before code lands, coordinate with our external assessors, and own our vulnerability response process end to end.
The admin console is where security teams actually manage Wardengate. You’ll design and build the surfaces for policy authoring, session review, and approval workflows alongside a small design-engineering pod. Strong product sense and comfort with dense, data-heavy interfaces required.
You’ll own reliability primitives for the managed control plane: SLOs, observability stacks, load testing, and on-call tooling. Expect to shape the production readiness bar for every new service our product pods ship.
You’ll translate the structured evidence the gateway produces into useful detections for SOCs—both ours and our customers’. Background in detection engineering, SIEM content development, or threat hunting in a modern enterprise strongly preferred.
You’ll work directly with prospective customers—usually security architects and infrastructure leads—to design rollouts that account for their actual estate. Strong infrastructure or security-engineering background required; this is a technical role with sales partnership, not the other way around.
We sell to security and infrastructure leaders who are generally skeptical of vendor claims—rightly so. You’ll partner with a Solutions Engineer on every opportunity and work from a product that earns its place on its merits. Track record selling platform or security products to enterprise buyers expected.
You’ll partner with engineering and security to produce installation guides, reference docs, and operator runbooks that people actually want to read. Experience documenting infrastructure, security, or developer-tools products at depth strongly preferred.
