Stop Domain Impersonation Before It Strikes
DefendDomain is building the next generation of domain threat protection. Join a small, ambitious team fighting phishing, typosquatting, and domain-based cyber attacks.
What Drives Us
We're early-stage and intentional about the culture we're building.
Security First
We protect others because we take protection seriously ourselves. Security is in our DNA, not just our product.
Builders
We move fast and ship constantly. We'd rather build, learn, and iterate than sit in meetings debating hypotheticals.
Customer Obsessed
Our customers face real threats. We stay close to their problems and build solutions that genuinely reduce risk.
Think Global
Domain threats don't respect borders. We build for a global customer base and hire across time zones.
Why DefendDomain?
Ground floor opportunity
Join as an early team member with outsized impact on product, culture, and direction. Your work shapes the company.
Meaningful problem space
Domain impersonation affects every industry. You'll work on technology that directly prevents fraud, phishing, and brand abuse.
Modern stack, fast iteration
We build with Next.js, TypeScript, AI, and deploy continuously. No legacy systems, no bureaucracy — just shipping.
Flexible working
Remote-friendly with hubs in the UK. We hire for output and trust, not hours in a seat.
Open Roles
We're looking for people who care about craft, move quickly, and want to make a real dent in cybersecurity.
