SaaS security platform for discovery, access control, and risk remediation
Grip Security builds a SaaS security platform centered on discovery, identity governance, and access remediation across sanctioned and shadow applications. The tech stack—Python, TypeScript, React, Kafka, PostgreSQL, dbt, Spark, Airflow—reflects a data-intensive architecture designed to ingest and normalize SaaS metadata at scale. Hiring is engineering-heavy (4 of 6 active roles) with accelerating velocity and a notable shift-left testing initiative, suggesting the company is scaling both product depth and operational reliability as it moves beyond initial SaaS discovery into automated remediation workflows.
Notable leadership hires: Software Engineer Team Lead
Grip Security is a SaaS security platform founded in 2021 and headquartered in Boston. The product helps organizations identify, inventory, and govern access across all SaaS applications—both approved and unauthorized shadow tools—while automating remediation and cost recovery through license and account optimization. The platform combines discovery capabilities with identity and access management features, addressing pain points around identity sprawl, leftover vendor access, and employee access governance. The company operates with a 51–200-person team and is currently hiring in the United States and Israel, with emphasis on senior and lead engineering roles.
Grip's stack includes Python, TypeScript, React, Kubernetes, Kafka, PostgreSQL, AWS, GCP, and Azure. The data layer uses Apache Spark, Airflow, and dbt on Athena and AWS Glue, plus testing frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium) for shift-left quality practices.
Active projects include the core SaaS security platform, a modern data lakehouse for product analytics, batch and streaming data pipelines, custom reporting, shift-left testing, and feature adoption improvements to address support backlog and ensure leftover SaaS access remediation.
