Ella Sophia de Barros Blake

We're looking to more than double our founding team at @beacon.sh, hiring aggressively across research and engineering.
We're building the visibility and control layer for AI agents, and we've got some serious momentum:
$5.5M raised in seed funding
3,200+ GitHub stars and a growing OSS community
#1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt
Our founding team brings experience from Doppel, Brex, and Trail of Bits, and we're looking for exceptional builders to join us.
We're hiring:
Founding Engineer: Build high-performance infrastructure to secure and govern AI agents at scale.
Founding Security Researcher: Break AI agents, uncover novel attack surfaces, and publish cutting-edge research.
Who we're looking for:
Deep technical curiosity and obsession with craft
High agency, relentless ownership, and bias toward shipping
Exceptional problem solvers with incredibly high standards
We want world-class engineers and researchers. We don't care about pedigree. We care about what you've built, the problems you've solved, and the quality of your work.
NYC in-person preferred, open to exceptional remote talent.
DMs open. Come build with us! Contact me at founders[at]asymptotelabs.ai

Our AI employees have names. Peter is an SDR, Kavya sells insurance, Arjun is a loan officer, Priya handles renewals.

We did it because customers found it easier to talk about "Peter's pipeline" than "the lead qualification workflow." Teams started treating the agents like colleagues with a job, which made it easier to define what each one owns.

Containment rate (the share of conversations the bot handles without a human) is the default AI support metric. We think it rewards the wrong thing. A bot can contain a conversation by never letting the customer reach a person.

With customers, we track the outcome instead: was the payment made, the policy renewed, the meeting booked, the issue resolved? One real estate customer cut outreach costs by about 70% and finished a month of calls in under a tenth of the time. That's a number a CFO cares about. Containment isn't.
