About Immersive
What is Immersive?
Immersive is a British cybersecurity company, founded in 2017 by James Hadley in Bristol, UK. Its Our Story page says the company delivers a "cyber proving ground where enterprises can validate the readiness of people, AI-enabled workflows, security teams, leaders, and autonomous agents through hands-on exercises, crisis simulations, and cyber drills", and its adverts call the platform Immersive One. The company says it is trusted by "more than 400 organizations worldwide, including financial institutions, healthcare providers, and government agencies", and its adverts name Citi, Pfizer, Humana and HSBC as customers. Immersive has raised $189 million in funding; its board includes directors from Goldman Sachs, Summit Partners, Insight Partners and Ten Eleven Ventures. Mark Schmitz is Chief Executive Officer, and the founder, James Hadley, is Founder and Chief Innovation Officer. Its legal entities and web domain still carry the Immersive Labs name.
Where will I work?
The global HQ is in central Bristol, with a North American HQ in Boston, Massachusetts, and, on its contact page, a DACH regional HQ entity (c/o RSM GmbH) in Düsseldorf and a METNA regional HQ entity in Dubai Marina. The careers page describes "two central offices in Bristol, UK, and Boston, MA, plus remote team members across 14 countries". Most of the nine roles open on 12 November 2026 are remote: UK-remote engineering, data and product design roles, solutions roles in Portugal and Saudi Arabia, and a US federal sales role. The Bristol Finance Assistant role is hybrid, with at least one office day a week, on a Thursday, and remote EMEA staff "meet in our EMEA HQ on a bi annual basis".
What is the Immersive team like?
Immersive has more than 300 employees across the US, UK and EMEA. Staff call themselves Immersers, and the careers page lists four values: driven, inclusive, customer-centric and one team. Hiring starts with a review by the talent team, then a 30-minute screening interview and two to three team interviews with the manager, colleagues and stakeholders; candidates who reach interviews get personal feedback by phone. Staff quoted on the careers page are candid about the pace: "Be ready for a fast-paced environment where adaptability is key."
Work-Life Balance
Eight of the nine live adverts, across engineering, product, operations and the cyber resilience team in the UK, Portugal and Saudi Arabia, promise "Time off, flexible and remote working so you can work when is best for you" and list "Informal or formal flexible working options, e.g. flexible start and finish times, reduced hours". No core-hours window is stated, and the adverts do not state weekly hours. The UK adverts give 25 days of annual leave plus two volunteering days and a birthday day off, and three of them add that holiday rises with service to a maximum of 30 days after five years. The careers page adds up to four weeks a year working from anywhere in the world, plus caregiver leave.
