About the job
Location: New York, NY (San Francisco also considered) Work Model: In-office, with travel alongside the founding team Industry: AI security / infrastructure (MCP) Compensation: $150K-$180K base, uncapped commission About the Company Our partner is an early-stage, well-funded startup building security infrastructure for the AI era, helping enterprises adopt MCP and AI tooling without leaking sensitive data. Backed by top-tier investors and growing quickly with a tight, high-caliber team, they have real enterprise pipeline and a product that solves a genuinely hard, technical problem.
