Alex Rice is a seasoned security-focused technology leader and founder with 13+ years building high-impact teams and products in the Bay Area. As CTO and co-founder of HackerOne, he has driven the company’s technical direction since 2012, translating vulnerability research into scalable platforms for coordinated security testing. His background includes leading product security at Facebook and building high-throughput web crawling and classification systems at Websense, experience that blends deep systems engineering with real-world threat intelligence. Early career roles in government and enterprise security show a track record of operationalizing large-scale PKI, endpoint, and perimeter programs that materially reduced risk and cost. Comfortable both in the lab and the C-suite, he pairs hands-on engineering instincts with product and go-to-market sensibilities. A detail that often surprises colleagues: his roots as a Visual Basic developer gave him early exposure to security incidents that steered him into a career defending complex systems.
