Join Our Team

Our mission:

At Kanary, we’re building security tools to protect people from the next generation of online threats. Cybersecurity has always been adversarial, but the rise of AI-driven attacks has made them more personal and more destructive. That’s why we focus on monitoring and fixing personal security risks for individuals.

The security industry hasn’t kept up. While bad actors and powerful platforms exploit personal data, most solutions offer false peace of mind with 'set it and forget it' tools that don't work. People want transparency, action, and control. Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about agency.

Since 2020, we've been building an industry-leading automation platform for finding threats and automating resolution. Kanary is a differentiated, vertically integrated system with proprietary technology, not reliant on 3rd parties. If you're passionate about working with cutting edge technology and a world-class team, we want to talk to you.

How you’ll help achieve it:

As Kanary's first Account Executive, you'll own the sales motion: sourcing leads, running demos, closing deals, activating networks, and building partnerships. We've established a loyal customer base, growing through word of mouth and founder-led sales. We've hit Series A metrics while achieving profitability.

In the first 30 days, you'll learn from our customers, follow up with prospects, and re-engage lost deals. You'll be focused on enterprise deals (6 figure contracts, hundreds of seats, 3-6 month cycles). We use Attio to manage our CRM right now, but want to use the right tool for the job. You'll implement workflows to connect with new partners and quickly follow up with active opportunities. You’ll work closely with our founder, Rachel, to deepen connections in familiar markets while driving growth in new industries. You should be confident tapping into your IT/Security relationships to hit the ground running.

As you learn about our customers and our strategy, you'll collaborate with the product team to share feedback and bring the best capabilities to customers. You'll also work closely with our marketing lead to improve how we reach our ICP through targeted campaigns and case studies.

You'll move fast, track key metrics daily, and prioritize high-impact work. You'll roll up your sleeves to make a customer call or tweak a 1 pager. While our team is fully remote, you should feel comfortable traveling 3-4 times per quarter to conferences, customer meetings, or team off-sites.

Comp/Benefits

• Competitive OTE

• Generous equity

• Healthcare stipend

• Unlimited vacation, 4 weeks encouraged + scheduled team mental health days

• Quarterly in-person off-sites (fully paid) with nice views

Our mission:

At Kanary, we’re building tools to protect people from the next generation of online threats. Cybersecurity has always been adversarial, but the rise of AI-driven attacks has made them more personal and more automated. That’s why we focus on monitoring and removing personal data, putting privacy and security back in the hands of individuals.

The consumer security industry hasn’t kept up. While bad actors and powerful platforms exploit personal data, most solutions offer false peace of mind with 'set it and forget it' tools that don't work. People want transparency, action, and control. Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about giving people agency.

If you're excited to help close the growing gap in online protection for millions, we want to talk to you.

How you'll help achieve it:

We’ve built a set of systems unique to our development environment. You'll help shape hypotheses, track core metrics, and work to move them. We delete code. If something fails, we learn, and then we clean it up. We aim for tech debt to be actionable. We celebrate this ratio on a pull request.

Building the best product and experience for our members is always the goal. Weekly scoping is hands on and collaborative, not top down. You'll work directly with customers in our Discord server to get feedback, share ideas, and fix bugs.

We run quarterly in-person off sites. Living in an Airbnb together for a few days is a stretch of no-distractions time. You'll be able to voice what's holding us back, workshop solutions, and start implementing change immediately with the entire team. Balanced with a flexible and autonomous remote work culture, off sites give us a taste of the silicon valley hacker house without the burn out.

You’ll be architecting and building a system that is rigid enough to provide economies of scale but flexible enough to support infinite integrations. This is an investment in proprietary technology and proprietary data that creates leverage to build better and better systems.

What is Kanary?

Kanary is a digital privacy and security platform for individuals, nonprofits, and enterprises. We combine proprietary technology with a U.S.-based team of privacy experts to continuously identify where personal information is exposed online, remove it, and prevent future leaks. Kanary helps you prevent and respond to stalking, harassment, doxxing, and deepfakes.

Who is behind Kanary?

Kanary is a female founded and owned technology company, started by Rachel Vrabec. Our origins trace back to data science work supporting the 2016 US presidential campaigns. From there we were pulled into supporting candidate and staff safety. The security breaches and personal privacy violations of that time inspired the beginnings of the company. After receiving a grant from Y Combinator, we launched Kanary in 2020 and participated in Mozilla’s accelerator. In 2022, we raised a seed investment and have been growing the company sustainably since. Our core team manages all aspects of the service, support, and technology and we collaborate directly with members on our Reddit, LinkedIn, Discord, and via email.

Your role:

Data analytics is critical to how Kanary supports thousands of members and millions of privacy requests every year. Our team is highly technical, and you will have a lot of support as you learn our systems and help improve them. Your day to day will include reviewing the data from our automated systems, figuring out why data is not being removed according to US Privacy law, and working with engineers to update our systems to make sure our customers are protected as quickly as possible.

You must be able to work in spreadsheets, workflows, and task management systems. And you must be able to understand and analyze data trends and how they relate to the overall impact of the system. Proficiency in statistics is preferred.

The Kanary team is tight knit and fast moving. Communication skills are critical as you work through your projects and share your learnings with the team. The role is fully remote, so you should feel comfortable tracking your own tasks in a system like Notion, using Slack to troubleshoot or problem solve, and have a consistently stable internet connection for joining team meetings. Our team has an open culture with very little hierarchy, this means you have plenty of opportunities to share ideas, voice issues, and learn from startup and security veterans.

This role is an entry level position on our team, but there is room to grow into team lead or more technical positions for the right person.

Role Details:

• Employment Type: 1099 Contractor

• Commitment: Full time and part time schedules available

• Location: Fully Remote (Flexible)

• Focus: Data integrity, reporting, and operational insights

Comp/Benefits:

• Competitive hourly rate (based on experience)

• Flexible schedule and autonomous work culture

• Opportunity to work with a mission-driven team

• Potential for growth within a fast-growing startup
