Job Description

### About Us

**Autonomous Cyber builds AI for offensive cyber.** We’re building hacking
systems from the ground up. Not just calling models, but controlling how
agents think, coordinate, use tools, manage context, and work through complex,
high-impact problems over long runs. It’s a small team, high ownership, lots
of building and rebuilding, and a lot of fun if you’re excited to probe the
limits of what LLMs can do.

We do real offense, and we move fast. If you want to engineer cutting-edge
systems, go deep in the code, and help shape the product, you should drop us a
note.

### The Role

Our stack today is **TypeScript and Electron** , but this role is bigger than
a stack.

We’re looking for an engineer who wants to go deep in code and deep in AI
architecture, and who cares about using agents to accelerate development.

This role is not just about building the product. It’s also about building the
technical engine of the company itself - growing AI automations, designing
internal agent systems, and figuring out how AI and human engineers can work
together effectively. You’ll build the product, but also build the systems
that help us build the product faster.

### What You’ll Do

* Build core product and ship code
* Architect and improve agent systems: orchestration, memory, context handling, tool calling, and reliability
* Support current customer requests
* Build internal AI automations and agent workflows that accelerate development
* Help define the technical side of how the company operates as we grow
* Help build tools that are not just powerful, but genuinely great to use

* * *

### What We’re Looking For

* Strong engineering instincts and comfort going deep technically
* Comfort with ambiguity, speed, and ownership
* Interest in cyber and adversarial operations
* Care for craft, usability, and building things people love using

You’ll write code, shape architecture, influence product, and help build the
internal AI agent teams.

**If that sounds interesting, let’s talk.**

* * *

### **Benefits & Compensation**

* $200k-plus salary
* 0.5% equity allocation
* Remote-First
* Option to work in DC Office
* Daily coworking space stipend
* Health Insurance, Vision, Dental
* 401(k) plan with company match
* Positive Vibes!

### Values

We work strictly in the American national interest and support both government
and commercial customers. Security clearance eligibility preferred.
