Careers at VigilGuard

VigilGuard is building an open, transparent, and community-forward platform for external risk, security, and intelligence. We believe modern security should be open-source influenced, developer-friendly, and powered by automation and AI.

The product is ~60% built. We are expanding the founding team with people who value openness, collaboration, and building high-impact tools for the security community.

VigilGuard is currently a single-founder effort built part-time. We’re looking for people who believe in open-source thinking and want to help shape a modern security platform.

Strong belief in open-source ecosystems and community knowledge
Interest in transparent, developer-first security tooling
Experience in cybersecurity, risk management, or related domains
Ability to use AI tools to accelerate development, research, and workflows
Comfort working part-time while building something meaningful
Ownership mindset and willingness to iterate quickly

Why VigilGuard

Modern security tools feel closed, slow, and locked away. VigilGuard is building a transparent, automation-first platform aligned with open-source principles.

Open-source aligned tools and scanners
Clear, transparent risk scoring
Extensible APIs and automation by default
Vendor + attack surface insights that the community can build on
AI-driven analysis designed for scale

Our goal is simple: build a platform the security community can understand, trust, and extend.
