Build a security firm worth joining
We're a small, early-stage team where offensive testing, research, and teaching meet. If you're excellent at the craft and generous with knowledge, let's talk.
Do the work, then teach it
ByteDefender is an early-stage, practitioner-led firm where research, offensive testing, and education sit side by side. We're building a small team of people who are excellent at the craft — and generous with what they know.
What we offer
Real research time
We publish. You'll have genuine scope to investigate, write, and present — not just bill hours.
Learn from a founder-practitioner
Work directly alongside senior offensive security and research expertise, every day.
Flexible & remote-friendly
Canadian-based and remote-friendly, with outcomes valued over hours logged.
Meaningful engagements
Small team, senior work — no getting lost on a junior bench doing rote tasks.
Growth that's funded
A real budget for certifications, conferences, and continued learning.
Shape the company
Join early enough that your ideas shape how ByteDefender is built.
