Palo Alto, California, United States Endor Labs Full time
About Us

Endor Labs is redefining application security for the era of AI-driven software development. Today's software is dependency-heavy and increasingly complex, making it harder than ever to identify the risks that matter most. With AI accelerating code creation, the volume of software is exploding, intensifying this challenge. Endor Labs addresses it by generating a complete call graph of your software ecosystem, giving teams the clarity to identify, prioritize, and remediate critical risks with speed and confidence.

Trusted by companies that are one or one hundred years old, Endor Labs secures code whether it was written by humans or AI, and whether it's 40-year old C++ code or cutting edge Bazel Monorepos. Endor Labs was founded by serial entrepreneurs Varun Badhwar and Dimitri Stiliadis, and is backed by leading VC firms such as Dell Technology Capital, Lightspeed, and Sierra Ventures.
