Application process
- 1. Video call with a Talent Acquisition team member: To discover your professional project and evaluate if there could be a mutual match
- 2. Interview with Jason (Head of Business Development), your future manager: To know more about yourself and your achievements, understand your motivators, evaluate your skills (short cold live business case) and present to you the team
- 3. Interview with Carole (N+2, Chief Marketing Officer): To detail our company’s vision and ambitions for the next couple of years, also to evaluate your ability to work in a SaaS environment as well as in a changing environment as can be a startup context
Our take
The twin uptakes of GitHub usage and cloud architectures have resulted in the propagation of digital authentication credentials in both public and private code repositories. Think APIs, cryptographic keys and login credentials.
GitGuardian has become the go-to for 100,000s of developers to identify these secrets in real time, securing enterprise software with bottom-up adoption.
The startup has also built from its secret detection expertise and extended its technology to encode a wide variety of vulnerabilities to compete with legacy code security platforms. In 2021, GitGuardian raised an impressive $44 million in order to accelerate this innovation.
So far, GitGuardian’s laser-sharp focus on secret detection has allowed it to carve out a lucrative niche, but the expansion of its technology will bring it into direct competition with well-established cyber security giants. The company is gathering momentum, however, and is likely to scale in line with its technology in the coming years.
