Cygrid is a Berlin-based identity risk platform built on AWS, Kubernetes, and Neo4j — shipping core infrastructure and observability from scratch with a small, senior-heavy engineering team. The stack shape (graph database + event-driven AWS primitives + Prometheus/Grafana) signals a platform designed to map identity relationships at scale and surface attack paths. Hiring is accelerating across engineering and product, all within Germany, suggesting they're moving past MVP toward production maturity.
Cygrid builds an identity risk management platform that discovers, scores, and enforces controls across human, non-human, and AI agent identities in cloud and SaaS environments. The platform targets CISOs, CTOs, and risk officers seeking quantified identity risk reduction and measurable ROI. The product surfaces hidden attack paths, reduces identity attack surface, and converts abstract security concepts into actionable risk scores. Operating as a small, founder-led organization in Berlin with a hybrid culture emphasizing ownership and direct communication, Cygrid is in active infrastructure and security foundation buildout.
Cygrid runs on AWS (EKS, Lambda, SQS, SNS), Kubernetes, Docker, PostgreSQL, Neo4j, Redis, and Elasticsearch. Frontend uses React and TypeScript; observability is built on Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. Infrastructure is managed via Terraform.
Cygrid is headquartered in Berlin, Germany, and currently hires only within Germany. The company operates a hybrid work model.
