_Then Hadrian has the perfect role for you! Seize the opportunity to take full ownership of our data pipeline stack and scale our engineering foundation as our_ **_Senior Data Engineer_** _!_

## Who are we?

What if cybersecurity could think like a hacker?

At **Hadrian** , that's exactly what we're building

the **future of offensive cybersecurity, powered by autonomous AI agents that think like hackers**. Founded in Amsterdam in 2021, we're on a mission to change the way organisations defend themselves by helping them find and fix security weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.

Our platform brings together two products

**Atlas** , which continuously maps an organisation's external attack surface and validates which exposures are genuinely exploitable, and **Nova** , which uses AI agents to perform in-depth penetration testing on demand. Together, they give security teams the visibility and proof they need to focus on what really matters and stay ahead of emerging threats.

Backed by **$65M in total funding,** including our recent $40M Series B led by Forgepoint Capital International and SmartFin, we're investing in the next generation of autonomous offensive security and expanding our impact across global markets. With a team spanning 25+ countries and offices in **Amsterdam** , **London** , and **New York** , we're helping organisations rethink what's possible in cybersecurity.

Join us and help shape the future of offensive security.
