Founding Developer Relations Lead

We’re looking for a rare profile: an exceptional engineer who loves open source as much as they love people.

Asymptote is building the AI Detection & Response layer for the agentic enterprise. AI agents are becoming enterprise infrastructure, but security teams have no unified system of record for what they’re doing.

Asymptote delivers the telemetry, detection, and response layer that makes AI agent activity observable and secure. Beacon is our open-source foundation powering that future. It was named one of the hottest open source cybersecurity tools in June 2026.
