About The Position

Teleskope is redefining data security for the AI era.

We are backed by top-tier investors and growing quickly, with customers that include Ramp, Notion, The Atlantic, Petco, and Chevron Phillips. This is one of the hardest, most important problems in security right now, as companies adopt AI faster than they can protect the data behind it.
