About The Position

Harmonic Security lets teams adopt AI tools safely by protecting sensitive data in real time with minimal effort. It gives enterprises full control and stops leaks so that their teams can innovate confidently. We are led by cybersecurity experts and backed by top investors including N47, Ten Eleven Ventures, and In-Q-Tel. We have achieved early traction and product-market fit with a world-class team, and we are now focused on building a category-defining company. This is your opportunity to join us early and shape not just a product, but a category. How We Work: AI-First by Design Harmonic exists to help enterprises adopt AI safely and at scale. We hold ourselves to that same standard. Everyone here actively leverages AI tools to perform their best work — from deep research and writing to building robust processes and automating complex workflows. We expect every new hire to bring a genuine curiosity for AI and a commitment to using it to work smarter, faster, and with greater creativity. For some, this involves tinkering and remaining open to emerging tools; for others, it means architecting entirely new systems with AI at the core.
