Founder Associate
- london, england, United Kingdom
Job Description
CodeWall is building the future of cybersecurity: autonomous AI agents that think and operate like elite hackers, continuously finding and proving vulnerabilities before real attackers can exploit them. We recently closed a $4 million pre-seed round—the largest ever for a UK cybersecurity startup—backed by exceptional investors. And the technology is already delivering extraordinary results. Our agents have uncovered critical vulnerabilities across major global platforms, including an unauthenticated endpoint exposing 3.17 trillion rows of data, hardcoded credentials found in under 18 minutes and a CVSS 9.8 organisation takeover created by chaining four seemingly harmless weaknesses. Our ambition is to build the world’s best AI super hackers and the defining offensive-security company of the AI era. Read our manifesto and research at codewall.ai.
