Description of the offer

Who we are: Enigma Labs is building the world’s first collective eyes on the sky — a distributed, fast-moving sensing network that can activate anywhere on Earth. The threat landscape is changing faster than traditional systems can respond. From foreign surveillance balloons to unidentified drones to anomalous UAP, incursions like those over Langley AFB and New Jersey are becoming more frequent and more sophisticated. Legacy infrastructure simply isn’t keeping up. The future demands lower-cost, agile, and massively distributed intelligence. The war in Ukraine has made this clear: modern conflict is dominated by UAS, rapid iteration, and mobile-driven real-time situational awareness.

This is where Enigma sits — at the frontier of a new intelligence paradigm. Today, more than 500,000 people use Enigma to report and analyze unusual activity in the skies. We’ve already collected 48,000 aerial event reports and alerted over 2,000 potential incursions. We harness the latest in AI to power our analysis and alerting system. Enigma Labs is a small agile team combining world-class engineers with top strategists. We’re building a company defined by a unique mission. We’re looking for low ego people who want to invent the next generation of global sensing and collective intelligence.
