Our Culture

At TrustLogix, we're building a culture around a few core principles:

Humble Intelligence: We hire smart people who are also humble. We believe the best ideas come from collaboration, not ego. We challenge each other respectfully and learn from every experience.
Grit and Ambition: We are a "dream team" of doers. We thrive on challenges and have the resilience to tackle the tough problems that others won't. We're building something big, and we have the determination to see it through.
Client and Partner Obsession: Our success is tied directly to the success of our clients and partners. We listen to their needs, anticipate their challenges, and work tirelessly to earn their trust every day.
Empowerment: We expect and trust our team to take ownership and lead with autonomy. We provide the support you need to do your best work, empowering you to innovate and make a real impact.
Execution with Integrity: We move with urgency, discipline, and accountability. We do the right thing even when it’s the harder path, because trust is built on consistency between words and actions.
Trust: The foundation of everything we do. We trust our colleagues, our leaders, and our teams — and we earn the trust of clients and partners by listening first, delivering consistently, and acting with integrity.

Together, these principles define how we work, how we treat each other, and how we show up for our clients and partners. We’re not just building a product — we’re building a company we’re proud to call our own.

About TrustLogix

Every CEO must make the right calls to keep their company competitive. Competitors are moving fast, AI is raising the stakes, and survival depends on making smarter decisions sooner.

But here’s the problem: the CEO’s own leadership team is in conflict over data:

Consumers — CDOs and business leaders who demand access so they can generate insights and keep the company ahead
Enforcers — CISOs and security teams who lock things down with roadblocks and controls, held accountable for breaches, fines, and compliance failures
Providers — CIOs and CTOs who are stuck in the middle, writing endless scripts and custom integrations that can’t keep pace with demand

The result? The business slows down. Decisions stall. Competitors pull ahead.

“Data is everywhere” has become the most unhelpful truism in technology. The real question for CEOs, CFOs, and CISOs is: which data is worth securing and enabling, and which can be ignored?

TrustLogix provides that clarity. Our patented Trust Logix Engine unifies and enforces policies across every data system, then delivers a heatmap of what matters most: showing which data is critical, who is using it, and where the risks lie.

CISOs, CIOs, and CFOs can focus resources on protecting and enabling what drives the business, instead of wasting time and money locking down everything indiscriminately.

With deep partnerships with Snowflake, Databricks, and GSIs, TrustLogix helps the world’s most demanding enterprises stay competitive in an era where speed, trust, and data-driven leadership decide who wins.

We are not just building another tool. We are building the next great company — one that turns conflict into clarity and enables leaders to lead.

Location: Silicon Valley / Remote, U.S.
