About Assembled Assembled helps companies scale great customer support. As consumers, we’ve all been there. You need help, you’re stuck on hold or going in circles with an AI, and your problem still isn’t solved. Behind great support is a complex operational problem: thousands of people and AI agents working across teams, time zones, and products as new problems emerge. Assembled gives support leaders the tools to manage that complexity, from AI agents that resolve customer issues to software that forecasts demand, builds schedules, and makes intraday adjustments. More than 400 companies, including DoorDash, Salesforce, Stripe, and Sephora, trust Assembled . We've raised $71M from NEA, Emergence Capital, Stripe, and Basis Set Ventures and have offices in San Francisco, New York, and London.

Assembled operates at the intersection of tens of millions of untrusted customer conversations annually, hundreds of thousands of support professionals, and the sensitive data and privileged access they need to get issues fixed.

Our tech stack: Frontend: TypeScript, React Backend: Go, Python Data: PostgreSQL, Redis, Snowflake Cloud and infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Karpenter LLMs: Claude, GPT, Gemini Flash, and open-source models About you Security engineering expertise. You have 5+ years of hands-on application security experience, including threat modeling, security code reviews, and vulnerability remediation. Strong software engineering fundamentals. You have experience writing and reviewing production code in a complex codebase. Good risk judgment. You understand the tradeoff between security and shipping velocity. You’ve operated in programs that preserved speed (or can speak to why past programs destroyed it). Engineers trust you as a partner. AI-pilled. You actively use AI tools for security investigation, testing, or remediation and can evaluate their limitations. You have a point of view on how this changes the product threat model and how the security role
