StackHawk

Founded in 2019, we’re a computer and network security company. We offer an AppSec Intelligence Platform built for application security in the AI era, helping teams discover their API landscape, automate testing, and get clear guidance to fix issues.

Our platform helps with:

• Attack Surface Discovery: We connect with your source code repositories to map your application landscape, uncovering shadow APIs and sensitive data.
• Runtime Testing & Remediation: We provide CI/CD-native Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) to find exploitable vulnerabilities, LLM security risks, and business logic flaws before they reach production. Scans run in development pipelines, PRs, and local environments, and we provide AI-generated remediation guidance.
• Oversight & Intelligence: We give you a central view of your testing coverage, identified risks, and program effectiveness, including metrics for your board.

We help engineering teams prioritize and fix critical application risks before deployment. Our platform works with tools like GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Jira, and various CI/CD platforms. Our customers include RX Benefits, Simetrik, British Airways, ITV, Git Guardian, Fortis, Change.org, and Treasure Data.

Our mission is to put API and application security directly into the hands of engineering teams. We aim to integrate security into developers’ daily workflows, empowering them to identify and fix security issues in real-time.

Our values, which we call the ‘F’ words, include:

• Fabulously Fearless: We think big, disagree respectfully, commit to decisions, and execute.
• Fanatical Fascination: We’re curious about customer problems and have empathy for software builders.
• F*CK FUD: We build trust, confidence, and value, avoiding fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
• Funny with Fortitude: We solve difficult problems with collaboration, mutual support, and a sense of humor.
• Feathers, Better Together: We believe diversity and unique individual contributions are an advantage.

We have a team of 11 to 50 employees, founded by Joni Klippert (CEO) and Scott Gerlach (CSO). We foster a collaborative, inclusive, and diverse workplace. Our culture values innovation, resilience, and humor, encouraging teams to tackle challenges directly, learn from each other, and laugh. We’re often described as a “flock of different birds” because we believe individual differences are a strength. We support remote work across the United States, with our headquarters in Denver, Colorado.

We offer a range of employee benefits and perks, including competitive compensation and an equity stake in the company. For certain positions, salaries range from $130,000-$190,000 annually. We provide 100% paid health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents. You’ll also get life insurance, AD&D, and a 401K.

We offer unlimited vacation time, plus ten paid holidays. After two years of service, you’ll receive a $3,000 stipend for your vacation. Other perks include WFH setup assistance, occasional at-home perks, monthly snacks, and commuter benefits for parking or public transit.
