About the role

About Cymphony Cymphony is a well-funded cybersecurity startup backed by Sequoia and Fin Capital, building a new category: workforce security. Once companies connect AI to tools like SharePoint, Box and the CRM, years of oversharing become real exposure. Cymphony maps every person and AI agent to the data and access behind them, shows which risks matter, and makes fixing them simple. The result is a clear green light to roll out AI safely. Global enterprises including KKR, Syngenta and Cass rely on Cymphony to adopt AI safely.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
