Browser-extension security platform for AI, SaaS and web data risks
LayerX Security protects enterprise browsing and GenAI usage through an extension-based platform rather than a replacement browser. Its stack pairs multi-cloud backend tooling (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Kafka, Temporal) with low-level reverse-engineering tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra and WinDbg, pointing to in-house threat research. Accelerating, senior-heavy hiring centers on engineering and cross-platform agent work.
