Bastille Networks Freezes U.S. Hiring as Paris Tech Jobs Surge

If you are looking for a job in the Bastille world of tech, the answer depends entirely on which Bastille you mean.

Bastille Networks, the San Francisco-based wireless-airspace cybersecurity company, is essentially in a holding pattern. The company’s official careers page lists no open tech opportunities as of mid-July 2026, according to its own website. The privately held firm, founded in 2014 with 11-50 employees, is asking prospective candidates to submit résumés for future consideration [1][2]. A single Technical Director role in Professional Services & Solutions Architecture was posted for a hybrid position in Seattle about a month ago, offering unlimited PTO and company equity, but that appears to be the only active position across the company [3]. Headquartered in San Francisco, with a secondary office reported in Atlanta, Bastille Networks has not signaled a broader hiring push [3][9].

Paris’ Bastille District Offers 86,000 Local Jobs-But Few in Tech

Cross the Atlantic to the Bastille (75) district of Paris, and the story inverts. Job seekers there can find over 86,000 local openings, according to French employment portal Indeed [8]. The catch? Most of those roles are entry-level and non-technical, including receptionist and administrative positions-paying roughly €11.88 to €13.66 per hour [8]. Actual tech roles-such as Machine Learning Engineer or DevOps Engineer-tend to cluster in broader Paris listings rather than within the Bastille arrondissement itself [8]. For engineers and developers who want to stay in the neighborhood, platforms like WeLoveDevs.com (which targets developers through project owners) and Randstad Digital FR (which currently lists 185 open vacancies) are the go-to resources [11][12].

French Tech Ecosystem vs. U.S. Caution: 1.1 Million Jobs at Stake

The contrast in hiring appetite is not just local-it is structural. France’s broader French Tech ecosystem now comprises roughly 25,000 startups, generating 1.1 million direct and indirect jobs, according to industry data [16]. Digital startups alone are projected to post €659 million in turnover in 2025, with strong hiring capacity expected to continue [16]. Back in the U.S., Bastille Networks-a specialist in detecting cellular, RF and wireless threats that typical Zero Trust programs miss-is keeping its headcount tight. No new roles have opened beyond that lone Seattle posting [3].

For professionals and job seekers, the takeaway is clear: the Bastille job market, on both sides of the Atlantic, demands specificity of targeting. If your skills align with RF cybersecurity, wait for Bastille Networks to reopen applications or watch for Seattle-based postings. If you are chasing machine learning or DevOps positions, look to the broader Paris market-and bookmark WeLoveDevs and Randstad Digital for the next wave of CDI, freelance and internship contracts. The numbers are there; the trick is knowing which Bastille to search.
