About Helmguard
Software
We’re building governance and security infrastructure for a world of increasingly capable and widely proliferated agents.
The world is undergoing a fundamental shift: every day more work is being done autonomously by AI. This is true for enterprises but also for the adversarial actors who seek to disrupt their operations through cyber attacks. The only way to keep up is to use AI intelligently to govern internal deployments and defend against offensive threats. HelmGuard will be the platform which businesses use to do both.
We’ve grown to seven-figure revenue within 9 months of product launch, on the back of multi-year contracts with leading enterprises in financial services, regulated technology, and healthcare. Our founders come from Palantir and academic institutions: Oxford, Stanford, and ETH. We’re backed by leading UK and US institutional investors and exceptional angels from Meta, Isomorphic Labs, Palantir, SpaceXAI, and more.
We’re hiring across founding-team roles for people who want outsize impact, the influence over direction and culture that comes only from joining this early, and pre-Series A equity upside.
What you will do
- Lead strategic accounts through the entire lifecycle, from initial configuration and adoption to expansion and long-term renewal.
- Run high-stakes weekly sessions with senior enterprise stakeholders like CSOs and Heads of Compliance to drive platform integration.
- Ship production-ready code using Claude Code to implement features, fix bugs, and customize UI based on direct customer feedback.
Who this is a fit for
- Possesses 2–5 years of high-performance experience in a technical or commercial role, preferably as a solutions architect or customer engineer.
- Demonstrates strong commercial instinct and the ability to own single-point accountability for complex, multi-year enterprise relationships.
- Maintains genuine technical comfort and a desire to code, utilizing AI-assisted development tools to solve customer problems in real-time.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join a founding-team environment with outsize impact and influence over company culture and direction during a pre-Series A phase.
- Work on agent-native risk infrastructure for financial services and healthcare, capturing a share of a multi-billion dollar market transition.
- Benefit from top-decile London compensation and meaningful EMI equity in a company already generating seven-figure revenue with major enterprises.
