Wallarm: API Security Leader

We founded Wallarm in 2016 in San Francisco, California, to create an API security platform. We focus on stopping API attacks, protecting modern applications, AI agents, and microservices across multi-cloud and Kubernetes environments.\n\nOur platform inventories APIs, uses AI/ML-based detection for abuse, and blocks threats in real-time. This includes an API SOC-as-a-service operating 24/7/365. We automate real-time application protection and security testing, from API discovery to prevention.\n\nKey features include:\n* Continuous API discovery\n* Automated security testing\n* Runtime security\n* API abuse prevention\n* Streamlined incident response\n\nOur platform deploys rapidly, often within one day, and supports environments like eBPF, Kubernetes, cloud-native, AWS, GCP, Azure, multi-cloud, and private infrastructure. We protect against OWASP API Security Top 10 threats, account takeover (ATO), API abuse, and bot attacks.\n\nWallarm is backed by investors such as Toba Capital, Y Combinator, and Partech. We block over 15 million application and API attacks and over 100 million malicious API requests monthly, protecting more than 160,000 APIs and billions of API requests daily. Our core high-performance engine is Wallarm Node, and we are developing an AI/API Management Platform in Rust.

Our mission is to secure the internet’s critical infrastructure. We see APIs as a primary target for cybercriminals, so we focus on solutions that actively stop API attacks, rather than just detecting them. We align our technology and teams to resolve these API security challenges, ultimately making the internet safer for everyone, from APIs to AI-driven businesses.

We are a global remote-first team of 51-200 employees across more than 20 countries. We embrace an asynchronous culture with flexible scheduling and hours.\n\nOur work environment values trust, autonomy, and direct access to leadership. This allows employees to shape their roles and take ownership of shipping code that impacts enterprise customers. We provide access to AI tooling like Claude Max and Cursor Pro, and we support professional development and career growth. Our team includes experts in security, infrastructure, and machine learning.

We offer comprehensive benefits and perks:\n* Completely remote work with flexible hours.\n* Competitive salary and bonuses, along with paid days off (including unlimited PTO in some cases) and medical insurance.\n* Working equipment and an equipment budget.\n* Professional development and career growth opportunities.\n* Access to AI tooling like Claude Max and Cursor Pro.\n* Direct access to leadership and real ownership in your role.\n\nWe believe our mission to protect world-leading companies and make the internet safer also enriches the employee experience.
