Work & culture
Small, elite, hacker-founded team with a strong competitive-CTF / offensive-security culture; research-heavy, technically aggressive, and focused on continuous security testing.
Compensation
No public salary bands were found. Public hiring language emphasizes elite offensive security engineers and direct outreach/book-a-call style recruiting rather than a published compensation table.

Pricing
Subscription-based SaaS; pricing is not publicly disclosed.
Differentiators
- —Continuously tests codebases instead of one-off pentest windows
- —Proves exploitability rather than flagging only potential issues
- —Drafts patches/fixes alongside findings
- —Chains low-severity findings into real attack paths
- —Integrates with developer workflows such as Slack and Linear
- —Claims fewer false positives than SAST tools and manual review
- —Provides fast turnaround versus multi-week traditional audits
