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 Culture Memo: Our Operating System

Safe is not a typical corporate environment. We are a high-intensity, mission-driven team. We value builders who want to define a category and work alongside people who are equally committed to excellence.

  • Extreme Ownership: We don’t do "not my job." We hire people who see a gap and own the solution from start to finish.

  • The Elite Standard: We serve the most sophisticated companies on the planet. Our work must be bulletproof. Whether it’s a line of code or a sales deck, we aim for Tier-1 quality every time.

  • Methodology & Rigor: We don’t wing it. From Force Management and MEDDICC in sales to data-driven sprints in engineering, we rely on proven frameworks to stay disciplined and predictable.

  • Radical Candor: We move too fast for politics or sugar-coating. We value direct, honest feedback that helps us find the right answer quickly.

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

The Perks & Ownership:

We want our team to feel like owners because they are owners. We trust our people to manage their results and their time.

  • Meaningful Equity: Every "Safestar" is a shareholder. You aren’t just an employee; you are a partner in our success.

  • Unlimited Leaves: We don’t believe in clock-watching. We offer unlimited leave because we trust you to take the time you need to recharge while staying committed to the mission.

  • Comprehensive Benefits: We provide top-tier medical insurance and wellness benefits to ensure you and your family are well cared for.

  • Career Trajectory: We are growing aggressively. For high-performers, the path for advancement moves at the speed of your ambition.
