Operator support

The tools, time, and cover to do serious work.

How we support the people delivering engagements, publishing research, and improving the practice.

  • Top-spec hardware

    M-series MacBook Pro, 4K external, ergonomic chair. Hardware is never the blocker.

  • Learning budget

    $4,000/yr per engineer for courses, conferences, certs. SANS and Offensive Security as defaults.

  • Health cover

    Top-tier health insurance for you and immediate family in both India and US.

  • Remote-first

    Offices are optional. We hire where the talent is — and we come together three times a year.

  • Research time

    Fridays are for research. Published write-ups, OSS, CVE disclosures get bonus spiffs.

  • Transparent comp

    Banded, published, tied to level — no salary-negotiation theater.
