Founding Engineer at $20M Series A cloud security startup

We are looking for a Founding Engineer to join one of London's fastest-growing security startups following a $20M Series A led by FirstMark. This is a rare opportunity to build at the ground floor with a team that has already doubled ARR and signed clients like Riot Games and Snyk. If you want to ship high-scale C# code daily, fix critical security flaws in global AI systems, and work directly with technical founders in a high-energy London office, this role is for you. Help us define the next generation of cloud intrusion detection.

Overview

Responsibilities

What you will do

  • Build and scale a cloud-native security product using C# on .NET Core 10, Terraform, and HTMX within an AWS environment.
  • Collaborate face-to-face with technical founders and high-profile customers to translate security research into robust, production-ready detection features.
  • Take ownership of end-to-end delivery in a low-bureaucracy environment, shipping code daily and maintaining infrastructure as code for planetary-scale event processing.

Candidate profile

Who this is a fit for

  • Proven track record of shipping software at scale or in critical environments, ideally within a product-focused company or high-growth startup.
  • Strong proficiency in any object-oriented language; while we use C#, we value architectural instinct and engineering quality over specific language syntax.
  • A proactive builder who thrives in an on-site, collaborative culture and is excited by the pace of an early-stage company defining a new security category.

What makes it remarkable

Why this role is remarkable

  • Join one of the UK's most exciting startups, recently raising a $20M Series A led by FirstMark and featured on Sifted's 2025 "London Startups To Watch."
  • Experience explosive growth with a company that doubled ARR last quarter and plans to triple its headcount over the next year.
  • High-impact work environment where you will solve real-world problems, such as uncovering P1 security flaws in major AI platforms like Google Gemini.
