Full Stack Engineer

About Us

Act Security is an action-first cloud security platform built for the AI era.

For years, organizations have piled up access they never use. That debt was survivable when attacks moved at human speed. It isn't anymore. AI now finds and exploits access paths faster than any team can triage them, and AI agents are operating inside production systems with real autonomy to act. Access has become the attack surface, and chasing findings one at a time is a losing game.

Act systematically shrinks the access surface across your cloud, enforcing deterministic boundaries on what people, workloads, and AI agents can reach. We reason across identity, network, and AI access together - the three control planes that decide what anything can touch - and we enforce through the cloud-native controls you already own. No agents, nothing new to deploy, nothing taken offline. The result is a cloud that's structurally harder to attack and a security posture that holds between audits instead of quietly eroding.

We're early-stage, well-funded, and moving fast - built by repeat security operators who previously created Medigate (acquired by Claroty). If you want to build something that matters from the ground up and ship to production within days, this is the place.

Our Culture

We live by three values: Win, Learn, Have Fun. We play to win - we set ambitious goals and hold ourselves to high standards. We learn constantly - from customers, from each other, and from our mistakes. And we have fun doing it: we believe great work happens when people enjoy working together.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Full Stack to join our team and own features end-to-end - from the UI down to the backend services and data that power our cloud security platform.

What Will You Do

• Design and build features end-to-end, from UI (React, TypeScript) to backend services and APIs
• Build and maintain backend systems that process complex cloud infrastructure data
• Design clean, efficient APIs that connect a fast, intuitive frontend to a scalable backend
• Work closely with Product and Design to turn security insights into real, usable capabilities
• Make pragmatic architecture decisions across the stack, balancing speed and long-term maintainability
• Leverage AI tools as part of your daily workflow - we build with AI, not just for AI
• Improve our codebase, tooling, and engineering practices as we grow
  
  

• At least 5 years of hands-on full stack development experience
• Strong proficiency in React and TypeScript on the frontend, and Node.js (or similar) on the backend
• Experience designing and consuming APIs, and working with relational or cloud-native databases
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is a plus
• Solid understanding of system design, data structures, and performance tradeoffs across the stack
• Strong sense of UI/UX combined with solid backend engineering judgment
• Strong sense of ownership, clear communication, and ability to move fast without cutting corners
  
  

• Real ownership - this is an early-stage company where engineers drive decisions
• AI-native environment - you'll join an AI-native team. We help customers secure their AI workloads, build intelligent automation into our product, and use AI tools every day as part of how we build and ship.
• Top-tier team - founders with deep security and product experience, surrounded by a team of experts and backed by leading investors
• Competitive package - strong salary, meaningful equity, and the upside of joining early
