About Latent Defense

Latent Defense is building the world model for cybersecurity; the product graphs a company's entire system across all layers, identifies all attack paths and assigns criticality rankings, and provides remediation for each path. The team is building an autonomous system that rigorously models attack paths, orchestrates agents to validate each path, and remediates confirmed vulnerabilities at every step of the attack chain. Latent Defense is a small, seed-stage team scaling from a sharp early product into something that runs autonomously across real-world environments, from git repos to cloud deployments.

About the Role

Latent Defense is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help take its infrastructure from a scrappy MVP to a hardened, GA-ready product. This person will own customer deploys (Kubernetes, Docker), the telemetry platform, and the hardening and scaling work that comes with moving real customers into production. They'll operate with significant autonomy on a team that's still building out its staff-level bench, and will be trusted to redesign systems rather than just add to them.
