Careers

Employee one through five

Secure Shield Labs is a founding team building its first product with its first design partners. That means unusual ownership and unusual ambiguity, in the same week. It suits some people enormously and not everyone.

What you get

Four things we can actually promise

Meaningful equity

Early-team grants with a four-year vest and a transparent band. We will show you the maths.

Remote, with intent

Work where you are, meet in person quarterly. Core overlap hours rather than fixed ones.

A real problem

Governance for systems that act on their own. Nobody has finished solving this.

Customer contact

Everyone talks to design partners. No layer between the people building and the people using.

  1. Intro call30 min

  3. Paid work sample, scoped to a day1 day

  4. Founder conversation and offer45 min

The work sample is paid at a day rate, scoped to a day, and it is work we would actually ship — not a puzzle.
