Meet your home operating system.

Home security should reinforce your peace of mind. You deserve a sanctuary, one that gives you the freedom to live your life with the people that matter most. That’s why we created something entirely new.

Sauron is an autonomous platform for the perimeter of your home. It works discreetly in the background to reliably identify potential threats in all environmental conditions and it instantly recognizes who’s part of your inner circle.

We provide a bespoke white-glove service, ensuring that each client’s security platform is installed with precision and care, swiftly and without disrupting the comfort or aesthetics of their home.

To complement the technology, Sauron leverages its Intelligent Response and Intrusion Suppression (IRIS) Command Center, staffed 24/7 by exceptionally trained agents with diverse backgrounds in law enforcement, military service, executive protection, and other critical security fields. The team builds relationships with local police departments to ensure a rapid police response to verified security incidents.

Job Description

Sauron is reinventing how homeowners interact with their properties.

We’re Building

  • A real-time digital twin of the home.
  • A drop-dead gorgeous app to control it.
  • Active deterrence that lets houses fight back.

It’s goated. Come be a goat. 🐐

We’re overflowing with software problems — and we need young killers ready to learn, build, and ship.

What You’ll Actually Do

  • Build production systems across computer vision, ML, backend, infrastructure, and frontend.
  • Design tools to benchmark, validate, and stress-test what you ship.
  • Field test your work in live environments — not a college project, not a simulation.
  • Move fast, break stuff, fix faster.

What We Care About

  • Collaborating, debating, building — no politics, no passengers.
  • Shipping fast, testing early, learning even faster.
  • Taking ownership across the stack.
  • Curiosity > credentials. Hunger > polish.

You Might Be Right For This If

  • You’re studying CS — or you’ve skipped the paper chase and just build things.
  • You can explain complex things simply — across engineering, design, and ops.
  • You get energy from hard problems and fast environments.

Bonus XP

  • Computer vision, autonomy, robotics projects.
  • Game dev experience (you know how to ship beautiful, interactive UX).
  • Built a side project you were obsessed with.

Why Sauron?

  • No meetings to "align." Just building.
  • Senior engineers and founders mentor you directly.
  • Your code hits production. Your impact is real.
  • Real ownership. Ridiculous learning curve.
