Remote Job
Through our global honeypot network, we are often the first to see exploitation for new vulnerabilities, and share it with the security community and our customers. We don't put our product behind a paywall that you have to jump through five calls and demos just to see - in fact, we are committed to providing the security community a free version of our product to explore. And we have an awesome team of cybersecurity experts who believe in our mission, working with each other closely to execute together.
All positions are fully remote within the US, with optional office attendance at our DC area headquarters, unless otherwise specified. Applicants must have US work authorization.

GreyNoise Culture
The hallmark of any great company is a palpable and viscous culture. The most important pillars of our culture are:
- Be transparent, honest, and objective. This is what it means to be “clinical”
- Empathize with customers, partners, and each other
- Learn from mistakes and share the knowledge
- The way feedback is delivered to one another matters as much as the feedback itself
- Good work-life balance is the key to sustained productivity
- The measure of a team member’s effectiveness is how well the rest of the team operates in their unexpected absence
- No such thing as a million dollar idea, only million dollar execution
- Out-innovate our previous selves

Explainability
Any security product that is a “black box” that asks you to blindly trust it should raise red flags - we believe the same is true of your place of work. We obviously think GreyNoise is doing something unique, but don’t take our word for it - ask any of our 150+ enterprise customers, investors, thousands of happy users, or dozens of journalists who have cited GreyNoise over the past few years.

- You are comfortable taking an idea from concept to customer
- You are open to both explaining your stance and questioning others in a clinical, open-minded, and respectful manner
