Optic — a portfolio company of Xenostition

Senior Engineer, Attack Surface (You)

Location: local-first · Comp: equity, pre-seed

Optic treats a person the way a security team treats a network: something with an attack surface, a set of exposed ports, and a threat model. We're hiring the engineer who builds the scanner.

Responsibilities

Build the identity graph that maps what's actually discoverable about a person from public and semi-public sources. Turn “creepy but vague” into a specific, remediable finding. Ship an audit report a normal person can read without a security background, and act on before someone else does.

Requirements

Comfortable treating a human being as a system with vulnerabilities. Local-first bias — the audit runs on the user's machine, not our servers. No interest in building the version of this that sells the data instead of protecting it.
