Description
HEAD OF ENGINEERING CYBRET AI Remote Norway and Europe preferred Full-time Early hire with meaningful equity ABOUT CYBRET AI CYBRET AI is building Autonomous Security Infrastructure for modern organizations operating in complex, distributed, cloud-native environments. Our ambition is to move cybersecurity away from reactive, human-dependent workflows and toward continuous, intelligent, autonomous security. We design systems that combine human judgment where it matters with fully autonomous decision-making where speed, scale, and precision are required. We make a strict distinction between automation and autonomy. CYBRET AI does not rely on static rules or predefined playbooks. We build systems that understand context, reason over attack surfaces and exposure, assess real-world consequences, and take risk-based decisions. Our primary focus is Exposure and Vulnerability Management as a decision system, not a reporting layer. ABOUT THE ROLE This is a foundational leadership role with full ownership of engineering at CYBRET AI. As Head of Engineering, you will define how the platform is built, scaled, and operated. You will set technical direction, make architectural decisions, and build a high-performing engineering organization without sacrificing quality, depth, or rigor. You will work closely with the founder, product, security, and AI teams to ensure that CYBRET AI’s systems are robust, scalable, secure, and built for long-term autonomy. This role is hands-on. You are expected to design systems, review code, and lead by example.

HOW WE WORK CYBRET AI operates fully remote. The team is currently based in Norway, but we hire internationally. We recruit based on merit, excellence, and intelligence. We value deep focus, clarity of thought, and strong ownership. This is an early-stage startup. The pace is high, structure evolves continuously, and impact is real. A strong shipping mindset is essential. Engineering leadership at CYBRET AI means building systems that work in the real world, not just designing them.
