About Teleskope
Teleskope is redefining data security for the AI era. Our platform uses AI to learn the context of a business, filter out the noise, and enforce remediation directly, resolving sensitive data exposure in seconds.
We are backed by top-tier investors and growing quickly, with customers that include Ramp, Notion, The Atlantic, Petco, and Chevron Phillips.
About the role
This is one of the hardest, most important problems in security right now, as companies adopt AI faster than they can protect the data behind it. You'll own features end to end on the core of the platform, alongside a talented group of engineers with deep expertise in distributed systems, ML, and scale. Great security doesn't slow a company down, it makes moving fast safe. That's what you'll build.

Turn ambiguous problems into shipped features, and own how they get built
Debug live production systems and solve problems that only exist at petabyte scale
Take on the hardest problems in data security, from architecture to implementation
Raise the bar for the team through code review, design feedback, and mentoring engineers earlier in their careers
