The Work
What You'll Work On
The problems are real. The impact is immediate.
-
Data+AI Security at Yottabyte Scale
We map every data store, identity, and AI agent across hybrid cloud environments—AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, SaaS and on-prem. Our graph connects data to the identities that can reach it: humans, service accounts, and AI agents alike.
-
Problems No One Else Has Solved
We built the world's first air-gapped DSPM for defense and federal environments. Our research team discovered the ConfusedPilot attack on RAG-based AI systems. We treat AI agents as first-class security principals.
-
Enterprise Impact from Day One
Our Forward Deployed Engineers work directly with Fortune 500 security teams. The platform deploys in under 2 hours. When you ship something here, you see it in production within days, not quarters.
OUR VALUES
What We Expect
At Symmetry, we are committed to promoting a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where everyone can excel. Symmetry Systems complies with all applicable laws related to unlawful discrimination in each jurisdiction where we operate.
-
Do the right thing because it's the right thing
Even when it's hard. Even when no one's watching. This isn't a value we display on a wall. It's the standard every decision gets measured against.
-
Unrelenting focus
Customer needs and our shared mission guide every decision — no matter how decentralized. When it's cold, when we're tired. All the time, everywhere.
-
Enterprise Impact from Day One
Our Customer's data is not a resource to be processed — it's something entrusted to us. We architect around that responsibility, not around convenience.
-
Build with intent
Toward outcomes, not features. Every capability exists because a real problem demanded it — grounded in science, validated in adversarial research, not because a competitor had it or a slide deck needed it.
CULTURE
How We Work
The day-to-day, honestly.
Remote-First with Hubs
Most roles are fully remote within the US. Team clusters in San Francisco, Austin, and India. Some roles involve frequent travel for customer engagements or offsites.
Small Team, Big Ownership
No layers of middle management between you and impact. Engineers deploy to production. Salespeople shape GTM strategy. Everyone has a direct line to the founders.
From Research to Product to Research
Born at UT Austin’s Spark Research Lab, our academic rigor still drives how we build. We fund conference talks, blog posts, and open source projects and research.
We work in the open.
Code reviews, strategy docs, customer feedback—it’s all visible. We trust each other to make good decisions, and earn our customers’ trust by never compromising on data custody.
