Security Agent Engineer

Anvilogic is a Palo Alto-based AI cybersecurity startup founded in 2019 by security veterans and data scientists from Fortune 500 companies. 

Our mission is to democratize threat detection and hunting for today’s SOC teams to easily be done across hybrid, multi-clouds and security data lakes without needing to centralize data or rip and replace tools. Further, with our investments in AI-powered automation of detection-as-code to create, test, tune and deploy detections, SOC users can implement high-efficacy detection and hunting techniques without writing a single line of code nor manually wrangling data.

Anvilogic raised $45M Series C funding in April 2024 and is backed by top-tier VC firms and prominent industry executives. Anvilogic’s AI-powered Multi-Data Platform SIEM is used by many of the industry’s most advanced security teams.
