Five founding seats to build AVERY

NorthQuinn is a cybersecurity product company building AVERY, behavioral threat intelligence designed to national security standards: built first for enterprise security teams, on the path to federal, intelligence-community, and defense organizations. We are recruiting five founding teammates, each owning one part of the company from the beginning.

Where Things Stand

An honest picture of the company today

AVERY is in active development and not yet generally available. Its approach, behavioral baselining scored across several independent signals, is being built and tested against public, labeled network datasets.

NorthQuinn has published threat research and a detection method with their limits stated, released open-source tools that implement parts of the approach, and built an interactive demonstration of how AVERY reaches a finding.

The Founder’s Seat

Angel Gonzalez Gines, Founder & CEO

Architect of AVERY. Owns product direction, the overall architecture, and building the company. More than thirteen years in security and infrastructure across regulated industries, government, and enterprise environments.

About NorthQuinn

The Five Seats

What each founding teammate would own

Each seat owns one part of what it takes to build AVERY and bring it to government, defense, and enterprise security teams. Titles matter less than ownership, and the seats will be shaped by the people who take them.

Seat 01

Founding CTO (Chief Technology Officer)

Owns AVERY’s technical direction, starting with what it finds and whether an analyst can trust and act on it.

What you would own
  • AVERY’s architecture and technical roadmap, and building the engineering team as it grows.
  • Detection logic and signal scorers for command-and-control, lateral movement, and credential misuse.
  • MITRE ATT&CK mapping and the evidence attached to every finding.
  • Validation through adversary emulation and red-team exercises, with results reported honestly.

Good fit: Detection engineers and threat hunters who have worked with network or host telemetry at scale and are ready to lead AVERY’s engineering.

Seat 02

Founding Head of Data Science & Research

Owns whether AVERY’s detections hold up: baselines, scoring, and evaluation.

What you would own
  • Per-entity baselining and how independent signals are fused into a finding.
  • Keeping false positives bounded as the number of signals grows.
  • Evaluation on public labeled datasets with held-out validation, and the research NorthQuinn publishes.

Good fit: Data scientists and research engineers comfortable with time series, anomaly detection, and evaluation design.

Seat 03

Founding Platform & Infrastructure Engineer

Owns the platform AVERY runs on, built to be secure by design.

What you would own
  • The telemetry pipeline, authenticated intake, and data storage.
  • Cloud and on-premises architecture that keeps government and defense deployment options open.
  • Secure development practices, reliability, and operating cost.

Good fit: Software and platform engineers who have built production data systems that had to be secure.

Seat 04

Founding Head of Go-to-Market, Federal & Enterprise

Owns how AVERY reaches its first users, from design partners to the path to federal contracts.

What you would own
  • First design partners and pilots with SOC teams, government agencies, and the defense industrial base.
  • Federal business development and the contracting pathways that fit an early-stage company.
  • Positioning, pricing, and bringing what customers say back into the product.

Good fit: People who have brought technical security products into federal, intelligence-community, defense, or enterprise organizations.

Seat 05

Founding Head of Security, Compliance & Federal Readiness

Owns what it takes for government and defense organizations to trust and adopt AVERY.

What you would own
  • Readiness for the frameworks government and defense buyers require, such as NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and FedRAMP.
  • NorthQuinn’s own security program and secure development lifecycle.
  • Customer security reviews and authorization documentation.

Good fit: Security and compliance practitioners who have taken systems through federal authorization or defense-industry assessments.

If you could own a hard part of AVERY that isn’t described here, tell us what it is and what you have built.

The problems worth your time

  • Detecting patient command-and-control and credential misuse from behavior alone, without writing rules for each environment.
  • Keeping false positives bounded as the number of signals grows, and proving it on data we didn’t generate.
  • Knowing which side of a conversation is the monitored network, and scoring accordingly.
  • Covert channels that hide inside protocols every network must allow, starting with DNS.
  • Bringing a new detection product to government and defense organizations the right way.

What matters in every seat

  • You have shipped something that worked under real conditions.
  • You would rather measure than assert, and you are comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Experience with federal, intelligence-community, or defense environments is valued.

The work is real and so are the unknowns. Responsibilities are broad, structure is light, and much of what exists will be shaped by the first people who join.
