We’re Hiring

Join the Team Building AI-Driven Agentic Workspace Security

Himaya is a small team solving a massive problem. Cloud Workspace is still the number one attack vector globally, and the tools defending it haven’t fundamentally changed in a decade. We’re changing that with autonomous AI that reasons about threats, makes decisions, and learns from every email/identity/data it processes. If you want to build something that protects real organizations from real attacks, not another dashboard nobody checks, this is the place.

Associate Member of Technical Staff, Software Engineering

  • Engineering
  • Location: India (Remote)
  • Working Opportunity: Full-time
  • Salary Range: ₹2.68L – ₹2.87L
  • 0.03% – 0.05% equity

About the role

You will build Himaya's product end to end, from the Python services that analyze mail and data to the React interface security teams use every day. You will ship features that customers see within days, with tests and code review as part of how the team works.

What you will do

  • Build product features across email security, DLP and DSPM, from the API to the interface.
  • Develop backend services in Python and FastAPI, with PostgreSQL, Redis and queue-based workers.
  • Build integrations with the Microsoft 365 (Graph) and Google Workspace APIs.
  • Build the React and TypeScript frontend: dashboards, investigation views and admin flows.
  • Write tests with every change, and keep the pytest suite, type checks and production builds green.
  • Respect the permission model: mail content and configuration access stay separate in every endpoint you add.

Requirements

  • 1 to 3 years of software engineering experience, strong new grads welcome.
  • Solid Python, and working knowledge of TypeScript and React.
  • Comfortable with SQL and relational data modelling, ideally PostgreSQL.
  • Experience designing and consuming REST APIs.
  • You write tests as part of the work, not after it.

Nice to have

  • FastAPI or another async Python framework.
  • Experience with the Microsoft Graph or Gmail APIs.
  • Interest in security products, or experience building with LLMs.

Associate Member of Technical Staff, Infrastructure

  • Engineering
  • Location: India (Remote)
  • Working Opportunity: Full-time
  • Salary Range: ₹2.68L – ₹2.87L
  • 0.03% – 0.05% equity

About the role

You will keep Himaya's production footprint reliable and secure across two clouds, and you will build the CI/CD that the team currently lacks. Today deploys are scripted ACR builds pushed to Azure Container Apps by hand. Your first quarter is making that a pipeline with tests, image scanning, and staged rollout.

What you will do

  • Own the Azure production estate: Container Apps revisions and traffic splits, ACR, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Service Bus, Key Vault, Front Door, and the Azure OpenAI deployment.
  • Own the AWS estate: ECS services, RDS, ElastiCache, SQS queues with DLQs, S3, CloudFront, and the isolated EC2 detonation-sandbox VPC.
  • Build CI/CD on GitHub Actions with OIDC workload identity (no long-lived secrets), running the pytest suite, tsc, and production builds as merge gates, then deploying by revision with health checks and rollback.
  • Secure the microservices and codebase: scope service principals and IAM roles to least privilege, rotate and centralise secrets, harden container images, and burn down the dependency-vulnerability backlog with a repeatable process.
  • Improve observability: Sentry releases and environments per service, structured JSON logging, alerting on queue depth, scan-loop failures, and revision health.

Requirements

  • 1 to 3 years in infrastructure, DevOps, or backend work with real production responsibility.
  • Hands-on with at least one major cloud (we run Azure and AWS; you will learn the other here).
  • You have written a CI/CD pipeline from scratch, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, and can explain OIDC federation versus stored credentials.
  • Comfortable with Docker, container registries, and debugging a failed deploy from logs alone.
  • You treat IAM as a security surface: least privilege, scoped roles, no shared admin credentials.

Nice to have

  • Postgres operations (backups, connection limits, lock contention).
  • Terraform or Bicep.
  • Experience running queue-based workers.
  • Exposure to compliance regimes (SOC 2, UAE or KSA data residency).

Security Research Engineer (Member of Security Staff)

  • Security
  • Location: Remote (India), Gulf/USA timezone overlap
  • Working Opportunity: Full-time · Early-career (0–2 years)
  • Salary Range: ₹17.4k / month
  • 0.3% – 0.5% equity

About Himaya

Himaya is an AI-native email and SaaS security platform built for organizations in the Gulf region. We protect enterprises against phishing, BEC, malware, and data loss across email, SaaS applications, and cloud data stores, combining threat intelligence, LLM-based classification, sandbox detonation, and data security posture management (DSPM) in one platform.

The role

Team: Security, Detection & Intelligence.

We're hiring an early-career Security Research Engineer to help build the detection brain of Himaya. You'll work on intelligence and detection logic across three pillars, SaaS security, email threat analysis, and DLP, turning real-world attacker behavior into detections that ship to production. You'll also assist with our SOC 2 certification effort and ongoing audit upkeep. High ownership, direct mentorship, and your research becomes product.

What you'll do

  • Build and tune detection logic for email threats: phishing, BEC, credential harvesting, malware, lookalike domains, and impersonation.
  • Develop SaaS security detections: OAuth app risk, posture and misconfiguration drift, anomalous admin actions, risky-user signals (M365/Google).
  • Improve DLP detections: sensitive-data classification, exfiltration patterns, and policy logic that balances recall with low noise.
  • Curate and operationalize threat intelligence: feeds, IOC packs, domain/IP reputation, and enrichment for the detection pipeline.
  • Analyze real samples and sandbox output to close detection gaps and reduce false positives.
  • Assist with SOC 2 readiness: control-evidence collection, remediation tracking, and security documentation.

What we're looking for

  • 0–2 years in security, detection engineering, threat research, or a related area. Internships, CTFs, and self-taught projects count.
  • Understanding of email security fundamentals (SPF/DKIM/DMARC, header analysis, phishing/BEC tradecraft).
  • Some exposure to SaaS/cloud security and/or DLP concepts.
  • Comfortable writing Python and working with data.
  • Analytical, evidence-driven mindset; clear written communication.

Nice to have

  • Exposure to SOC 2 / ISO 27001, YARA, malware triage, or sandboxing.
  • Familiarity with LLM-based classification.
  • Arabic and Gulf-region threat-landscape awareness.

Compensation & equity

Salary: $200/month (≈ ₹17,400/month). Equity: 0.5%, vesting over 4 years.

Why Himaya

  • Ground-floor security hire: your research ships to production and protects real organizations.
  • Wide surface area across email, SaaS, DLP, and DSPM, with real ownership.

  • Ground-up redesign: propose and drive a cohesive design system (components, patterns, tokens) that scales across the platform.
  • Website redesign: rebuild the marketing site to reflect a modern, trustworthy security brand.
  • Graphics & brand: produce visual assets, illustrations, and brand elements for product and marketing.
  • Collaborate directly with founders and engineering to ship designs to production and iterate fast.

What we're looking for

  • A strong portfolio showing product UI/UX work (web apps, dashboards) and visual/graphic design range.
  • Fluency with Figma and design-system thinking.
  • An eye for clean, information-dense interfaces: making complex data feel simple.
  • Self-directed; comfortable owning ambiguous problems end-to-end.
  • Interest in security, SaaS, or complex B2B products.

Nice to have

  • Front-end familiarity (React / Tailwind) to collaborate closely with engineers.
  • Motion/illustration or brand-identity experience.
  • Experience redesigning a live product or shipping a design system.

Fellowship terms

  • Commitment: ~15–20 hours/week, flexible schedule.
  • Term: 6 months, with potential to convert to full-time.
  • Equity: 0.5%, vesting over 4 years.

Why Himaya

  • Rare chance to redesign a product from the ground up: high ownership, visible impact.
  • Direct access to founders and fast shipping cycles; portfolio-defining work across product, web, and brand.
