Actively Hiring — Penang, Malaysia · Remote-First
// Join the Team

Build Something That Matters

We're a seed-stage cybersecurity startup founded in Penang, Malaysia. Early team members won't just fill roles — they'll shape the company. If you want to do the best work of your career on something real, we want to hear from you.

// How We Work
Operators First
We hire people who've done the work — not people who talk about it. Hands-on experience is non-negotiable.
High Ownership
Early team members own their domain end-to-end. You set direction, you ship, you see the impact directly.
Startup Speed
Flat structure, fast decisions, no bureaucracy. We move, iterate, and fix things in days — not quarters.
