About XBOW At XBOW, we’re redefining the future of cybersecurity by building the world's first autonomous pentester, powered by AI. Today, the gold standard for securing software systems is human pentesters, but with the rise of artificial intelligence, we’re stepping up to scale offensive security to meet the ever-growing demand.
AI is transforming the landscape of both cybersecurity and cyberattacks. While millions of people without security expertise are creating software, bad actors are using AI to launch more effective attacks. XBOW fights back with AI-driven superpowers, enabling security teams to stay one step ahead.
Backed by Sequoia Capital and Altimeter, and a team that includes the creators of GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security, XBOW is not just keeping up with the times—we’re shaping the future of cybersecurity. Our mission is simple: to defeat the bad actors before they strike, using AI to revolutionize how we approach offensive security.
We’re building something that must be built, and we’re the team to do it. Join us in shaping the next frontier of autonomous security.
About This Role We're looking for a Product Operations Engineer to design, build, and scale the systems that power how we build product. You'll own the operational infrastructure that connects feedback to shipped features - automating the repetitive parts so our product team can focus on what matters.
This isn't a traditional "run the meetings and update the spreadsheets" ops role. You'll be building automation, integrating AI into workflows, and creating systems that make a small product team operate like a much larger one.
We want someone with a progressive mindset about how product gets built. The old playbook - manual ticket grooming, status update meetings, Jira - doesn't interest us. We're async-first and writing-heavy; if you believe the best operations work is invisible, that automation should handle the tedious stuff, and that small teams can outperform large ones with the right systems, you'll fit right in.

Contract: Full-time.
Hiring Process:
We aren't focused on seniority titles at XBOW—so if you’re worried about “leveling,” don’t be. We care a lot more about mission fit, capability, and impact than what’s on your LinkedIn headline.
We believe in people who are driven by curiosity and a willingness to learn. Even if you don't check every box, we encourage you to apply if you're excited about the role and our mission.
