About UnCognito

UnCognito is the world’s first real-time, language-agnostic synthetic media detection platform — built on physics, not guesswork. We verify the authenticity of what we hear, stopping AI-generated deepfakes before they can do damage. Voice cloning has made it possible to fabricate confessions, spoof financial transactions, issue fake commands, and spread viral disinformation at the speed of sound. UnCognito delivers real-time intelligence to help enterprises, financial institutions, governments, and individuals protect truth in an era of synthetic deception.

Our Founder & CEO is a four-time entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience spanning Cloud Computing, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The leadership team brings deep expertise and connections across enterprise and defense sectors. Among the active advisors guiding UnCognito’s strategy and business development are the former Director of Intelligence at U.S. Southern Command (Major General, Ret.), a Brigadier General and U.S. Army “Mad Scientist” who commanded intelligence operations at every echelon, and the former NATO Commander who oversaw 50,000 troops across Europe (Lieutenant General, Ret.). If you’re looking to work on cutting-edge cybersecurity with global impact and to learn from a world-class leadership team, read on.

The Role

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.

• Collaborate with the product team to translate requirements into technical implementation.

• Participate in code reviews, system architecture discussions, and sprint planning.

• Help improve development workflows, automation, and DevOps practices.
