Project Manager - Silkrunner

Who We Are!

Back in 2019, spiderSilk was born with a bold idea: build a regional, sovereign cybersecurity IP that could stand tall on the global stage.

Our mission? To shake up the way organizations protect their ever-changing digital worlds with continuous, intelligent, and autonomous security that doesn’t miss a beat.

We’re a global mix of curious minds, problem-solvers, and passionate builders, all united by one goal: making the internet a safer place for everyone. Around here, we thrive on vision, energy, and a strong sense of ownership.

If this feels like your kind of crew, you’ll probably fit right in.
