Founding Engineer

n stealth-mode Cyber & AI governance startup pioneering structural defense layers for enterprise artificial intelligence.

Founded recently by elite technology executives from top-tier military intelligence units and serial industry scaling veterans, the enterprise has successfully secured a massive Seed funding round from a premier American venture capital firm.

The company engineers a next-generation AI Governance and GRC platform designed to provide global enterprises with complete visibility, real-time risk assessment, and policy enforcement over internal and external AI model usage.

The engineering matrix addresses heavy technological bottlenecks, running real-time pattern analysis, high-throughput stream processing, and multi-tenant security structures.

The core R&D innovation center operates under a full in-office model based in Tel Aviv (highly accessible, immediately adjacent to major train transit).
