Artemis is building the future of AI-driven cybersecurity, helping companies defend themselves effectively in an era where AI is fighting AI on the cyber battlefield.
Our platform brings a new approach to the $100B security operations market, building a live model of each customer's environment and using AI agents to detect, investigate, hunt, and respond to threats at machine speed. Just one year after our founding, Artemis is one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies of all time, with customers including multiple Fortune 500 companies, Global 2000 enterprises, and AI innovators like Cursor.
We have raised $70M from Felicis, First Round Capital, Theory Ventures, Two Sigma Ventures, Lockstep VC and Brightmind. We are also backed by some of the most prominent operators in cybersecurity, including the CEO of Crowdstrike, the former CEO and CTO of Splunk, and the founders of Abnormal AI and Demisto.
Artemis's founders have built and scaled security products used by tens of thousands of customers. Shachar Hirshberg (CEO) led Amazon GuardDuty, the world's largest cloud detection product, was an early employee at Demisto, the company that invented the SOAR category, was an engineering leader at Palo Alto Networks, and holds an MBA from Harvard. Dan Shiebler (CTO) led all AI and machine learning at Abnormal AI, the pioneer of behavior-based detection, spent five years building analytics using machine learning and vector databases at Twitter, and holds a PhD in machine learning from Oxford.
Our team of software engineers, AI researchers, security engineers, and product designers comes from Google, Meta, AWS, Wiz, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Abnormal AI, Perplexity, Bridgewater, Mercor, CERN, and more.
We're growing fast and looking for builders who want to help us serve our rapidly expanding customer base.
Job Overview
We're looking for a SOC Manager to lead and scale Artemis Apollo, our managed detection and response (MDR) service. Apollo is already live: our AI-native platform investigates and resolves cases for customers today, and a security team works them. This is a player-coach leadership role — you'll set the direction for how the SOC operates as we scale, sharpening the standard operating procedures, escalation paths, and quality bar, while still working real cases alongside your team. You'll own how we deliver security outcomes to customers: the SLAs we commit to, the consistency and quality of every verdict, and the human expertise and communication that set Apollo apart from a traditional SOC.
Responsibilities

Lead and scale the MDR operation - Own and evolve the Artemis Apollo SOC, directing shift coverage, staffing ratios, and day-to-day operations as the team and customer base grow.
