A senior security engineer for the next stack, embedded with your team, reviewing code as it's written, watching the threat surface as it shifts.
Approach
The auditing industry has raised the bar on code quality enormously over the last five years. The bugs traditional audits are designed to catch are harder to find than ever. But the breaches making headlines now sit outside that scope: supply chain attacks, compromised cloud environments, leaked secrets, exploited build pipelines, and abuse of AI and agentic tooling. These are systemic risks that only an embedded engineer with full context can prevent.
Penetration tests and audits surface issues at a single point in time, but code keeps evolving and teams need an engineer with full context who is embedded in the product lifecycle. Scanners and dashboards generate findings that pile up faster than anyone can triage them. Both have their place. Neither is a security engineer.
Auditing firms charge upwards of $35,000 per week. Full-time hires are out of reach. Daybreak fills that gap.
