Job Description
About Manifest
Manifest is on a mission to secure the global software and AI supply chain. Our platform automates the discovery and analysis of risks across internally built and third-party software and AI systems, giving security, product, and engineering teams complete visibility into the components and dependencies that make up their technology stack.

How to apply
The Apply button opens Manifest's own application page in a new browser tab — applying is free, and this board never sits between you and the employer: no middleman, no form of ours to fill first.
This posting runs on Greenhouse, the applicant tracking system behind many employers' careers pages — you'll apply on Manifest's job board at job-boards.greenhouse.io. Greenhouse follows a standard sequence: contact details, a résumé/CV upload, and the custom questions this employer added for the role. Work-authorization questions appear on most remote postings — where you are legally allowed to work — so have that answer ready before you start. Some postings add a cover-letter field; when it is optional, the listing's own requirements above tell you whether writing one would genuinely help. The final Submit button sits at the bottom of the employer's own page, and Greenhouse sends a confirmation email once your application is in — if it does not arrive within a few minutes, check the spam folder.
