Protectiv / Careers
Work close to the problem.
Protectiv brings research and engineering into the same room. We are interested in people who can investigate carefully, build deliberately, and explain what the evidence supports.

People we want to meet
Depth in one area. Curiosity across the rest.
There is no open role to apply for today. This is a standing invitation for people whose work belongs near ours.
- 01
Security researchers
People who can turn an unusual behavior into a reproducible finding, then communicate its impact with care.
- 02
Applied AI engineers
People who turn machine learning systems, including LLMs and agents, into reliable security-testing workflows with controlled scope, repeatable results, and human verification.
- 03
Technical operators
People who make small teams more capable through reliable infrastructure, sound judgment, and clear execution.
- 04
Technical go-to-market
People who translate research and product capability into precise positioning, credible customer conversations, and commercial motion that does not outrun the evidence.
What the work asks for
Judgment matters as much as range.
A small company depends on people who can move independently without losing precision, context, or accountability.
- 01
Stay close to evidence
Claims, decisions, and product direction should remain traceable to behavior we can observe and test.
- 02
Own the full loop
The work may move from investigation to disclosure, publication, engineering, and operation. Context should move with it.
- 03
Communicate clearly
Technical depth matters most when another person can inspect the reasoning and act on what it reveals.
Open file
Show us one piece of work you understand deeply.
Send the context, your role, the hardest decision, and what you learned. A concise technical record is more useful than a general introduction.
