Tech Jobs: These Cybersecurity Startups Are Hiring Now

We can’t make this stuff up.

The United States government spent the last week scrambling to identify, shoot down, attempt to locate and then investigate (no luck yet) several “unidentified objects” over parts of North America.

What must individuals working within private cybersecurity startups be thinking of this would-be national threat? We can only imagine they just continued to do their jobs, namely protecting client infrastructures from real threats. While spy stuff is fun to talk about, the tangible work of cybersecurity startups is what’s really worth funding, even in a downturn.

In this week’s edition of Who’s Hiring In Tech, we look at open positions at funded startups in cybersecurity and related industries 1 in our Crunchbase database.

Notably, 19 companies in the cybersecurity sector appear on our broader list of 490 Actively Hiring startups, which includes funded companies that are currently hiring for multiple roles and that have not conducted reported layoffs in the past year.

Below, we highlight five of the roles from this list that caught our eye — this week, all from the cybersecurity sector.
