Secrets discovery and remediation platform for DevSecOps teams
GitGuardian detects and remediates leaked secrets and non-human identities across codebases and infrastructure. The stack (Django, Go, Rust, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes, Vault) reflects a backend-heavy, security-focused architecture built for high-velocity scanning and policy enforcement. Hiring is sales-led (27 open roles vs. 7 engineering), with active focus on enterprise pipeline, channel expansion, and vertical outbound — indicating a shift from developer self-serve adoption toward land-and-expand sales motions.
