Job Details

GreyNoise Intelligence is a mission driven security startup focused on helping organizations understand and mitigate risks from Internet scanning and exploitation. GreyNoise provides real-time, verifiable intelligence on all actors scanning the Internet and how some of them are attempting to exploit vulnerabilities on assets connected to corporate networks. The intelligence is highly trusted because its generated from a global fleet of thousands of purpose built sensors observing the Internet. Advanced data science techniques and AI are used to process millions of observed events into real-time intelligence for customers.

The GreyNoise Global Observation Grid observes and analyzes unique threat data at-scale that no one else can. GreyNoise provides the most actionable threat intelligence against perimeter threats, so that no attack works twice.

All positions are fully remote within the US, with optional office attendance at our DC area headquarters, unless otherwise specified. Applicants must have US work authorization.
