Threat Researcher II

Most boards and executives are currently flying blind when it comes to cyber risk. They are guessing. At Safe, we’ve built an AI\-driven engine that finally gives the C\-Suite a clear, quantified, and real\-time view of their security posture. We don’t just provide data; we provide **certainty**.

We are a **$170M Series C\-funded** category leader. We don’t play in the mid\-market; we operate at the highest levels of global enterprise. Today, we are proud to **serve 10% of the Fortune 500**, protecting global icons such as **Apple, Netflix, AT\&T, Verizon, and Victoria’s Secret**.

As we scale toward our next chapter, we are looking for high\-performers who want to do the best work of their careers at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.

• **The Series C Hustle:** We have the stability of a well\-funded leader but the heart of a startup.
