Security Product Manager / Engineer for Wallarm - San Francisco-based API security platform (remote)
Wallarm is an API security platform that focuses on protecting AI-driven innovation, modern applications, and cloud infrastructures. APIs, being the primary attack vector for cybercriminals, often face vulnerabilities that existing tools can't address effectively. Many API security solutions today only offer observability without the ability to prevent attacks, requiring complex deployments and significant human involvement.
Wallarm stands out by offering the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to stop API attacks. The platform provides a comprehensive inventory of APIs, patented AI/ML-based abuse detection, real-time blocking, and an API Security Operations Center (SOC)-as-a-service. Unlike traditional solutions that simply alert on suspicious behavior, Wallarm proactively works to fix API security issues, not just identify them. The platform can be easily deployed inline to block attacks, and its expert API SOC team ensures continuous protection 24/7/365.
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Wallarm is supported by investors like Toba Capital, Y Combinator, Partech, and others.
