Full Description

We’re a team of ex‑Google engineers who built some of the largest defensive platforms on the planet — Safe Browsing and reCAPTCHA.

Now, we’re striking out on our own to tackle an even bigger challenge: stopping the new wave of adversarial AI attacks already hitting organizations today.

We’re going after a $5B+ market, ripe for disruption.

Traditional detection methods are too slow to keep up.

Adversaries are using AI to craft customized, high‑evasion attacks — and old‑school rules‑based systems don’t stand a chance.

The Role

We’re looking for an Email Security Analyst (AI Operations) to join our growing team and help protect our customers by analyzing threats and providing actionable insights.

You’ll work directly with our product and engineering teams to improve detection capabilities and ensure our customers stay ahead of attackers.

This is a high‑impact role where you’ll wear multiple hats: conducting investigations, supporting customer security teams, and shaping how AegisAI builds and operates security at scale.

We’re looking for a mid‑level Security Analyst who lives and breathes email security.

You’ll be on the front lines defending customers from modern phishing, BEC, and malware threats, while also contributing to our product’s evolution.
