Automated offensive security platform for APIs and applications
Escape builds an offensive security automation platform spanning attack surface discovery, dynamic application testing, and AI-driven pentest simulation. The stack—Python, Go, Rust, Kubernetes on AWS—reflects infrastructure-heavy application scanning workloads. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering, sales, and marketing, paired with active product work on detection algorithms and sales playbook development, but internal pain points flagged around false positives and post-POC adoption suggest the product is still optimizing detection quality and sales motion.

Escape automates the full offensive security lifecycle for engineering and AppSec teams. The platform spans three core capabilities: attack surface management (discovering exposed APIs and infrastructure from code to cloud), business-logic-aware DAST that improves detection over time, and AI-driven pentest simulation to replace manual security testing. The company operates at 11–50 employees, based in San Francisco, with hiring momentum across sales, engineering, and marketing roles, and active expansion into France and the Netherlands.
