🚀 About Symbiotic Security

Symbiotic Security is a cybersecurity startup helping developers write secure code through an AI-powered assistant integrated into their IDE and CI/CD pipelines. Our solution has two unique strengths: it provides developers with interactive training to understand vulnerabilities as they code, and it automatically detects and remediates security flaws introduced by generative AI tools such as GitHub Copilot.

Our main products:

• Symbiotic Code — https://www.symbioticsec.ai/products/symbiotic-code
• Symbiotic Flow — https://www.symbioticsec.ai/products/symbiotic-flow

➡️ Founded in April 2024

➡️ 24 team members split between Paris (Tech team) and New York (Sales team)

➡️ Goal: 10 new hires by the end of 2026

Our offices are located at Morning Laffitte (Paris 9ᵗʰ) — bright open spaces with collaborative areas, a friendly atmosphere, and a focus on productivity.

🎯 Your Mission

• Build and ship product features across our JavaScript/TypeScript stack (Node + React) for Symbiotic Code.
• Contribute to performance, reliability, and overall system design as we scale.
• Collaborate closely with Abir (Engineering Manager), Minh Thang (Tech lead) and Édouard (CTO) on technical and product decisions.
• Work on diverse scopes: APIs, portal features, IDE experience, CLI workflows, and internal tooling.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives: code reviews, automated testing, CI quality gates, and release practices.
• Offer technical guidance to the team and help raise the quality bar.

Mission-first mindset: we look for engineers who are ready to “cross the aisle”. If you’re a JS expert, you should be open to learning and contributing to our Python services when the mission requires it.
