Job Description

[Fable Security](https://fablesecurity.com) is tackling the most critical
challenge in cybersecurity: human errors. Human error is the #1 cause of
security breaches, yet employees lack effective ways to learn what they need
to stay secure. Fable is here to change that.

Fable’s mission is to prevent cyber attacks ([ex

account-fbi/index.html), [ex 2](https://blog.knowbe4.com/how-a-north-korean-

AI to transform human behavior and improve human defenses. We use the best
practices from GenAI and behavioral systems to automatically identify your
employees at risk, curate hyper-personalized video briefings, and deploy at
the most relevant time, enabling employees to make the best security choices
everywhere they work. This is a multi-billion-dollar market, and every
company—from SMB to Fortune 500 enterprises—is racing to combat this problem.

Since founding, we've seen strong demand and adoption from customers, reaching
thousands of employees worldwide with our personalized video briefings and
security insights.
Our team works from our San Francisco office 3 days a week, and places high
value on mutual trust, execution, and delivering highly differentiating
product experiences and results to our customers.

You will own and develop the backend systems to serve our API, customer
integration layer, data services, video generation infrastructure, and
customer portal. You want to design and build foundational systems and end-to-
end products on top of them. You take pride in building reliable,
maintainable, and scalable services. You can transform product requirements
into designs and systems that anticipate our needs as we evolve. You take
pride in impact, and make judgment calls on how to build with consistent
progress.

Fable is founded by the early team from Abnormal Security ($5B+ valuation) and
backed by Greylock Partners, the investors behind Palo Alto Networks, Okta,
Rubrik, Figma, and others. Our team has built many of the iconic products at
Meta, Twitter, Flexport, and more. Our team has alumni from Waterloo,
Columbia, Berkeley, Purdue, CMU, Stanford, and USC.
