Role
Who you are
- You want to be at an early-stage startup. You understand that high growth means high pace. You're excited by the opportunity to have outsized impact early in your career
- You thrive on variety. One day you're coordinating a conference booth, the next you're scheduling candidate interviews, the next you're building a new process in Notion. Context-switching energizes you
- You're organized and detail-oriented. You're rigorous about following through and closing loops. You’re quick to take complete ownership of tasks they are given and hungry to figure out solutions to problems that may stump others
- You have demonstrated high achievement early on and a bias toward action. You likely attended a top institution, have strong extracurriculars and have 1-2 years of strong professional experience (internships included). You pick things up quickly and run with them

Our take
Tracebit is a cybersecurity company specialising in intrusion detection solutions using deception techniques, such as canaries and honeypots. While effective, these methods are often costly and complex, limiting their broader use. Tracebit addresses these challenges by leveraging modern cloud practices for quick and efficient scaling.
By connecting securely to cloud environments and recommending realistic canaries based on unique profiles, Tracebit allows users rapid deployment through infrastructure-as-a-code. As environments evolve, Tracebit continuously adapts its canary configuration to keep potential intruders guessing, ensuring ongoing protection.
Recent funding will allow the company to further its developments and expand its team, enabling the company to broaden its offerings. With this strong backing and innovative approach, Tracebit is ready to solidify its position in the cybersecurity space.
