About The Company

Zafran is an AI-native exposure management platform that eliminates the manual toil of vulnerability management by cutting through noise, revealing what is truly exploitable, and automating mitigation and remediation using the security controls teams already have. We are a team of practitioners and builders shaped by high-stakes security moments, where clarity and speed mattered, and manual processes came at a real cost. We’re on a mission to proactively stop the exploitation of vulnerabilities, everywhere.

About the Role

Zafran is looking for an experienced Discover Team lead to lead a highly impactful team responsible for building and improving our discovery capabilities. This team plays a critical role in a product that is currently being built and evolving, working very closely with the business and responding quickly to field needs.

In this role, you will lead the development of asset discovery and endpoint intelligence capabilities, building and optimizing collection sensors that execute across hundreds of thousands of devices to gather rich system data through low-level system interactions, helping shape a core part of the platform.

About Zafran

The Zafran Threat Exposure Management Platform is the first and only consolidated platform that integrates with your security tools to reveal, remediate, and mitigate the risk of exposures across your entire infrastructure. Backed by Sequoia Capital and Cyberstarts, Zafran uses an agentless approach to reveal what is truly exploitable, while reducing manual prioritization and remediation through automated response workflows
