About GreyNoise
GreyNoise Intelligence is a mission driven security startup focused on helping organizations understand and mitigate risks from Internet scanning and exploitation. GreyNoise provides real-time, verifiable intelligence on all actors scanning the Internet and how some of them are attempting to exploit vulnerabilities on assets connected to corporate networks. The intelligence is highly trusted because it’s generated from a global fleet of thousands of purpose built sensors observing the Internet. Advanced data science techniques and AI are used to process millions of observed events into real-time intelligence for customers.
The GreyNoise Global Observation Grid observes and analyzes unique threat data at-scale that no one else can. GreyNoise provides the most actionable threat intelligence against perimeter threats, so that no attack works twice.
All positions are fully remote within the US, with optional office attendance at our DC area headquarters, unless otherwise specified. Applicants must have US work authorization.

GreyNoise Culture
The hallmark of any great company is a palpable and viscous culture. The most important pillars of our culture are:
- Be transparent, honest, and objective. This is what it means to be “clinical”
- Empathize with customers, partners, and each other
- Learn from mistakes and share the knowledge
- The way feedback is delivered to one another matters as much as the feedback itself
- Good work-life balance is the key to sustained productivity
- The measure of a team member’s effectiveness is how well the rest of the team operates in their unexpected absence
- No such thing as a million dollar idea, only million dollar execution
- Out-innovate our previous selves

We obviously think GreyNoise is doing something unique, but don’t take our word for it - ask any of our 150+ enterprise customers, investors, thousands of happy users, or dozens of journalists who have cited GreyNoise over the past few years.

- You are comfortable taking an idea from concept to customer
- You are open to both explaining your stance and questioning others in a clinical, open-minded, and respectful manner
