Security Engineer

Austin, TX, USA

Wraithwatch was founded by alumni from SpaceX, Palantir, and Anduril to build the next generation of AI-powered cyber defense systems for the United States and its allies. We are deployed today to customers spanning aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and emerging technology.

Our core product, Wraithwatch Commander, is a continuously adaptive cyber defense platform utilizing generative artificial intelligence agents to autonomously model and construct a digital twin of an organization’s entire IT and cybersecurity environment and analyze it for weaknesses, misconfigurations, and chains of possible attack. Specialized offensive and defensive AI agents work together in a process of adversarial co-evolution in order to detect novel attack paths that exist in a customer network and rapidly develop correlative defense strategies. Users are able to visualize, manipulate, and command the system through an intuitive and futuristic interface.

Responsbilities

Wraithwatch Security Engineers ensure our artificial intelligence engines can perceive and rapidly manipulate a wide variety of integrated cybersecurity tools, as well as optimize their autonomous reasoning and analysis on complex cybersecurity tasks. They'll also own Wraithwatch's internal corporate cybersecurity posture across our company endpoints, cloud environments, and build pipelines.
