About The Position

samdesk is a real-time risk detection and situational awareness platform that identifies the earliest indicators of risk and delivers verified alerts and actionable summaries mapped to your people, assets, and operations. Combining proprietary AI detection with human verification, samdesk consolidates billions of raw signals into clear, context-rich insight. Each alert includes severity, geolocation, visual confirmation, source detail, and proximity to the people and assets that may be affected. AI agents can continuously assess developing incidents against an organization’s policies, SOPs, response playbooks, people, and assets to surface relevant guidance and recommend next steps. This gives security, risk, and safety teams more time to assess exposure, brief stakeholders, coordinate a response, and act before their options narrow, helping organizations protect people, minimize disruption, and keep operations moving. samdesk is backed by leading global investors and is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, with team members in multiple regions including North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. We are a growing team of dreamers and builders, supporting large global customers around the world. Check us out! www.samdesk.io
