Northstar Security | Software Engineer | SF Bay Area | Onsite | Full-time
Northstar is a seed-stage cybersecurity startup building an agentic platform to help security teams understand and defend the complex environments they're responsible for. Our semantic layer integrates data from the fragmented security and IT tools that teams have to deal with and allows for an AI-native approach to reasoning over a company's security posture.
We're looking for someone with hands on experience building modern AI systems who wants to join an early startup (<5 engineers) and everything that comes with it: working closely with design partners, solving hard technical problems, working in a fast-paced environment and figuring out how to apply agentic AI in practical, novel ways.

Worked with this team at FBN, and can't recommend them enough. Some of the best engineers I've ever known. More importantly, they're incredibly sincere and kind.
I worked at Adobe on a project called Alchemy (just like WASM, but for compiling c/c++ to actionscript to run inside the flash player). One of my internal demos was the flash player compiled into a SWF running Flash inside Flash. So if someone currently at Adobe wanted to dredge up my old branches they'd have a good starting place :)
Wow. The fact that you did this work, and Adobe didn’t do anything useful with it, indicates that you had some extremely lousy managers and executives above you in the org chart. I’m glad you left, for your sake!
Not at all, I worked with some amazing people there, but the writing was on the wall for Flash - Alchemy was moderately successful (we showed the unreal engine running in a browser via it ages ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywh9KJ7a_Bk)
I guess you’re right… but there really isn’t anything that has replaced the ease of use and functionality of Flash. It is a definite loss for society, as large numbers of non-programmers are unable to use a tool to create rich interactive environments that can be used by large numbers of people. I suppose this was always going to happen given that we were entering a mobile-first world, but it’s sad!
