About Hercules

Hercules helps finance and operations leaders solve problems that are too complex, large-scale, or time-consuming for human teams to manage alone. Its platform automates the validation and verification of data across millions of high-volume, rules-based transactions, improving billing accuracy, reducing costs, and accelerating cash flow. Built on a modular, multi-AI agent architecture, Hercules delivers industry-specific solutions for staffing, insurance, government, and financial services. Its accuracy and consistency enable enterprises to achieve levels of precision and speed that were previously out of reach.

Headquartered in the United States, Hercules also has offices in the United Kingdom, Armenia, Canada, and Portugal.

• Design and maintain IaC foundations (Terraform, Pulumi, Helm) for agentic AI systems, including agent orchestration platforms, RAG stacks, vector databases, and model serving endpoints
• Implement policy-as-code guardrails (OPA, Sentinel, Kyverno) for autonomous agent workloads
• Design and enforce zero-trust architectures with network segmentation, IAM/RBAC least-privilege, and secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)
• Configure and manage Cloudflare (or equivalent) for DDoS protection, WAF, bot management, SSL/TLS termination, and Zero Trust access
• Manage DNS security (DNSSEC, DMARC, SPF, DKIM), certificate lifecycle, and API security controls (mTLS, token management)
