Why join us NOW

APIs form the foundation of the application innovation needed to drive business success today. Across banks, retail and transportation, IoT, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities, every web and mobile app depends on APIs. Without secure APIs, businesses cannot rapidly innovate. Salt Security has delivered the only patented solution to identify and prevent API attacks, using Big Data and AI to thwart this top threat to businesses today.

We are backed by the best investors in the world (YCombinator, S-Capital, Tenaya, Sequoia, Capital G, and more) and recently achieved a $1.4B valuation.

We have an amazing customer base - https://salt.security/customers and we’re at a unique sweet spot in a startup’s lifecycle - the demand from customers is huge, yet our team is small and super-high quality.

We are growing fast, and the opportunity window to join as a member of the core team is closing.

We have many challenges we have not yet tackled, waiting for talented and passionate people to own.

We have many leading positions still to fill.

Our org structure is evolving constantly to meet our business needs, creating many opportunities to grow.

Now is the opportunity to be a partner in this growth and help shape the future of Salt Security as the world’s leader in API security.
