Join us in creating the world's first autonomous SOC platform. We're a small, ambitious team solving one of cybersecurity's hardest problems—and we're looking for exceptional people to help us do it.
FortMind is bootstrapped and pre-revenue. You'll experience the full startup rollercoaster— ambiguity, pivots, and rapid changes. If you need structure and predictability, this isn't the place.
You'll wear many hats
Job titles are guidelines, not boundaries. Engineers might talk to customers. Non-engineers might write documentation. Everyone does what needs to be done.
Massive impact potential
As one of our first 10 employees, you'll have more influence than a director at a 1,000-person company. Your work will directly shape our product, culture, and success.
Remote-first, async-friendly
Work from anywhere with internet. We optimize for deep work, not meeting attendance. Some timezone overlap is needed, but we're flexible.
We're building for the long term
This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. We're solving a hard problem that will take years. If you're in it for the quick exit, look elsewhere.
Why join FortMind?
Six reasons why exceptional people choose to build with us
Build something revolutionary
Help create the world's first truly autonomous security operations platform. This isn't incremental improvement—it's a paradigm shift in how security teams operate.
Ground floor opportunity
Join at the earliest stage and have massive impact. Your decisions and code will shape the foundation of FortMind's autonomous platform for years to come.
Grow exponentially
Early-stage startups compress years of learning into months. You'll tackle challenges that would take a decade to encounter at a larger company.
Work directly with the founder
As one of our first hires, you'll work directly with our founder, influencing product direction, company culture, and strategic decisions.
Remote-first flexibility
We're building a distributed team from day one. Work from where you're most productive, with flexibility to balance work and life.
Mission that matters
Help security teams defend against real threats. Your work will directly protect organizations from ransomware, data breaches, and cyberattacks.
Our values.
These aren't just words on a wall—they guide how we work every day
Security first
We're building a security platform, so security isn't negotiable—it's our DNA.
Bias for action
Move fast, learn faster. Ship, iterate, and improve. Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Radical transparency
Open communication about successes, failures, challenges, and decisions. No hidden agendas.
Continuous learning
The best idea wins, regardless of who suggests it. We're all students of our craft.
Customer obsession
Our success is measured by how well we solve real security problems for real teams.
