About ProjectDiscovery

ProjectDiscovery is an open-source powered security company with a mission to democratize security. We specialize in detecting new, exploitable vulnerabilities and misconfigurations so they can be remediated before hackers exploit them. Leveraging one of the largest open-source security communities in the world, we host contributions from some of the sharpest ethical hackers and bug bounty hunters to our 20+ open-source projects. Our projects have earned us over 80k GitHub stars, with tools like Nuclei and httpx standing out as some of the fastest-growing in the world.

We recently expanded our offerings with the launch of ProjectDiscovery Cloud Platform, combining our most popular tools into a single, hosted service designed for enterprise use cases. This platform seamlessly integrates asset management, vulnerability detection, cloud security tooling, and unique remediation capabilities to continuously safeguard your external perimeter.

Our tightly-knit, passionate team of ~35 is globally distributed, encouraging members to work from anywhere in the world. With total funding of over $25M, we're poised to revolutionize the application security market and are on the lookout for driven and talented individuals to join our mission.
