We’re not building another security tool. We’re defining a category.

We’re Not Building Another Security Tool. We’re Defining a Category. Every enterprise runs on machine identities—millions of service accounts, API keys, certificates, and AI agents that need secure authentication. Legacy IAM wasn’t built for this scale.

We’re creating the platform that gives every workload its own managed identity. This is foundational infrastructure that every enterprise will need. Join us if you want to build the security layer that autonomous infrastructure depends on.

We’re solving non-human identity at enterprise scale.

Enterprise infrastructure is autonomous, but identity management is stuck in the past. Machines outnumber humans 45:1, yet they authenticate with shared passwords and static secrets.

We’re reinventing how identity works in machine-driven systems. If you want to solve one of security’s hardest problems and build something every enterprise will need, this is your opportunity.

Join a team that’s defining the future of enterprise security. At Defakto, we tackle the hardest problems in identity, and giving every machine, API, and AI agent secure authentication at scale.

We’re engineers, designers, and builders who move with urgency, take ownership, and care deeply about our customers. No corporate bureaucracy, just smart people building something essential. If you want meaningful work with people who make it happen, this is your opportunity.
