Mind Fort is an AI-powered penetration testing platform that delivers human-level security testing at machine speed. We're building fully autonomous AI agents that can find, exploit, and patch complex vulnerabilities in web applications at massive scale. Our agents think and act like human penetration testers: they analyze targets, collaborate, and exploit weaknesses — but with the speed and scale only AI can achieve.

Security teams are already falling behind with outdated tools and manual processes. AI-generated code is flooding the world faster than humans can secure it. Mind Fort is closing that gap. Our platform will be critical for organizations building with AI and will redefine how offensive security is done.

We're hiring our Growth Lead to build our go-to-market motion from the ground up. You'll own the entire funnel — from generating leads to closing deals to keeping customers engaged. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role: as our first growth hire, you'll shape not just our sales and marketing strategy, but also how we talk about our product. You'll join a high-trust, high-velocity team where decisions are fast, responsibilities are broad, and your work will have an immediate effect on revenue and customer relationships.

• Run outbound prospecting campaigns to book meetings with CISOs, security engineers, and technical buyers at target companies.
