Building MACAW

Our Mission

Agentic AI needs its Okta + Zscaler.
We're building the invisible trust layer.

Security must be preventative, not reactive — like a vaccine, not a cure. MACAW is the foundational infrastructure for trustworthy AI at scale.

FOUNDERS WANTED

For uncertain journey, startup wages, long hours of intense focus, constant ambiguity, success not guaranteed. Ownership, impact, and category creation in case of success.

MACAW Security — San Francisco

Founding Engineers

Build the cryptographic trust layer — zero-trust infrastructure, multi-tenant platforms, SDK/APIs, intelligent UX. You live in code, think in systems, and obsess over developer experience.

Founding PM

Define a category. Transform complex cryptographic and zero-trust concepts into invisible, intuitive experiences. You bridge technical depth with business insight and speak fluent CISO.

Interns

Learn by doing — build real things alongside the team. Creative problem solvers who love hard work and constant learning.
