a16z Crypto

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2009 by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, Andreessen Horowitz (aka a16z) is a venture capital firm that backs bold entrepreneurs building the future through technology. We are stage agnostic. We invest in seed to venture to growth-stage technology companies, across AI, bio + healthcare, consumer, crypto, enterprise, fintech, games, and companies building toward American dynamism. a16z has $100B+ under management across multiple funds. We’ve established a team that is defined by respect for the entrepreneur and the company-building process; we know what it’s like to be in the founder’s shoes. We’ve invested in companies like Anduril, Airbnb, Coinbase, Cursor, Databricks, Deel, Figma, GitHub, Roblox, SpaceX, and Stripe. Our team is at the forefront of new technology, helping founders and their companies impact and change the world. The Role We're hiring a Staff Engineer, Security Automation to anchor automation across a16z's security org. Your mandate is leverage — connect the tools the security team relies on, centralize the data they generate, and build the dashboards and AI-native automations that let a small team (Security Engineering and Incident Response) operate at the scale of a much larger one. This is an AI-native role. You'll build with and on AI: LLM-augmented workflows, agentic automations, AI-assisted analysis as a first-class building block — and you'll help the rest of the security team get more leverage out of AI in their own work. a16z's security stack spans cloud telemetry, SIEM, identity, endpoint, vulnerability scanning, ticketing, and more. The team needs them stitched into one picture and one workflow rather than ten siloed ones. You'll be the person who makes that real. You'll work day to day with the Security Engineering Lead, Incident Response, SecOps, IT, and ASG(A16Z’s Applied Software Group). Venture capital firms face targeted, sophisticated threats — capital call wire fraud, vishing, social engineering, and threat actors who specifically pursue firms in this space. Your work protects the firm, our LPs, and our portfolio companies. This role requires an in-office presence 2 days a week in our San Francisco, CA office. To join our team, you should be excited to: Build the connective tissue across the security tools the org relies on — SIEM, vulnerability scanners, EDR, identity, asset management, ticketing — and centralize the data they generate into a single picture the team can act on Use AI as a first-class building block - LLM-augmented analysis, agentic automations, AI-assisted summarization - and design for compounding leverage, not one-off scripts Build the frameworks and dashboards that unify asset inventory, vulnerability posture, exposure reviews, and compliance evidence across systems Take the bigger automation problems off the team's plate — vulnerability management at scale, asset hygiene, access reviews, and the workflows that span multiple tools Raise the rest of ...

A request comes in, a designer makes the thing, and it goes out the door. That model works (until the volume of requests outpaces the size of the team), and suddenly design becomes a bottleneck instead of a multiplier. We're building something different. The future of design at a16z isn't a bigger team cranking out more assets: it's a design function that scales through systems. Templates, tools, AI-powered workflows, and self-serve infrastructure that let anyone at the firm create high-quality, on-brand work without routing every request through a designer. AI makes this possible in ways it wasn't before. But only if someone builds the design systems right, which means deeply understanding our brand, not just the tools. We have an existing foundation: brand guidelines, component libraries, AI skills and apps, and other templates across our core use cases—and we're looking for someone to take that foundation and continue to build it into something the whole firm can run on. The Role We're hiring a Design Systems Lead to own and evolve that infrastructure. This is a clear ownership role: you're the person accountable for the quality, consistency, and reach of our design systems, and for what gets built next. The work itself is equal parts brand design and systems building: half deep, intuitive command of the a16z visual language, half thinking in components, workflows, and repeatable outputs. You'll translate our brand into component libraries, AI skills, AI-powered tools, and self-serve templates the whole firm can use. That means writing clean markdown files, building high-functioning AI skills from scratch, and vibe-coding lightweight apps purpose-built for design use cases. What you're building is the invisible design framework for the firm. The work it produces shouldn't be. We are open to candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA or New York City, NY. To join our team, you should be excited to: Take clear ownership of the a16z design systems function: setting the direction, maintaining the standards, and being ac...
