It has helped secure some of the world's most targeted organizations and devices. Our combination of novel research with practical solutions reduces the security risks that our clients face from emerging technologies.

Cybersecurity preparedness is a moving target. Companies like ours are the tip of the spear in the fight against attackers. Our research-based and custom-engineering approach ensures that our client's capabilities are at the forefront of what's available. For companies and technologies that live and die by their security, a proactive, tailored approach is required to keep one step ahead of attackers.
Democratizing security information is essential. As part of our business, we provide ongoing informational support through blogs, whitepapers, newsletters, meetups, and open-source tools. The more the community understands security, the more they'll understand why a company like ours is so unique and valuable.
The Chief of Staff drives key strategic initiatives and outcomes across Trail of Bits, serving as the CEO's right-hand person. You will act as a credible proxy for the CEO, manage his day-to-day workflow and communications, lead strategic planning, and take ownership of the follow-through that keeps the organization moving.
This role is built for an engineer who wants to move into business leadership. Trail of Bits was built by engineers for engineers, and our culture is rooted in technical excellence, intellectual rigor, and deep respect for the craft of security research and engineering. You already speak this language. What sets you apart from your peers is that you are drawn to the business: how decisions get made, how an organization scales, how a leader spends their time and attention. You would rather move an organization forward than go deeper on a single technical problem, and you are looking for a seat where you learn to operate a company from the inside.
This is a high-urgency, action-oriented role. You will be the executor in a thoughtful, deliberative organization, the person who turns intent into motion and makes sure things actually happen. You will operate with real authority as an extension of the CEO, reporting directly to him as a member of the leadership team.
