About RunSybil

Founded in 2023 by Ari Herbert‑Voss and Vlad Ionescu, RunSybil is on a mission to automate hacker intuition. We’re building Sybil: an AI‑driven pentester that discovers vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. As adversaries adopt AI to increase their attack surface, we’re putting cutting‑edge offensive security into the hands of defenders. Backed by strong investor support and early customer traction, our team is composed of experts from OpenAI, Meta, Mandiant, Palantir, Cruise, Trail of Bits, and Aptiv.

About this Role

• Architect secure, scalable systems for running automated penetration testing at scale

• Scale database, storage, and compute infrastructure to preempt customer demand growth

• Propose and implement technical initiatives based on product roadmap needs

• Lead technical design discussions, contribute to team decisions, and provide feedback on engineering approaches

• Translate ambiguous technical challenges into actionable plans, and execute them in collaboration with the team

• Serve as the cornerstone of our engineering culture by setting and upholding exemplary standards for code quality, practices, and craftsmanship

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• 4+ years of experience building and managing production infrastructure

• Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container orchestration

• Strong understanding of networking, load balancing, and distributed systems

• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)

• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (New Relic, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, ELK, etc.)

• Knowledge of security best practices, network isolation, and compliance frameworks

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment systems

• Familiarity with database management (PostgreSQL, vector databases, object storage)

• Seeks autonomy, creative problem‑solving, and moving quickly in an ambiguous environment
