Our mission is to defend critical institutions—such as government, defense, and key commercial sectors—against these sophisticated threats by building cutting-edge, autonomous defense solutions. We bring together expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and software to create products that seek to finally shift the advantage in security from offense to defense.

At Method, you’ll have the autonomy to drive projects forward, the support to navigate challenges, and the opportunity to shape the future of cybersecurity.

    • Collaborate closely with frontend engineers, product managers, and other team members to translate requirements into technical solutions.

    • Work directly with end users to ensure that Method is meeting operational needs and solving real world problems.

    • Experience building and scaling distributed systems, with a proven track record of meeting high performance and low-latency requirements.

    • Proficiency in triaging and debugging complex microservice architectures.

    • Strong experience designing backend APIs and crafting efficient database schemas.

    • Experience with strongly typed programming languages; Java is preferred.
