Company

Built in Sweden and Finland. Hosted in the EU. Operated in Europe.

Roder is a European AI security company. We design, build and run the platform from the European Union. Our customers' data never leaves the EU, by architecture and not by region setting.

Our mission

AI adoption should never outrun control.

Roder exists because the security, compliance and cost stacks built for SaaS, identity and DLP were not designed for AI traffic, autonomous agents or MCP servers. We believe European organisations deserve the option to adopt AI on their own terms: with provable data residency, runtime-enforced policy, and pricing that doesn't punish governance.

We build one product that consolidates AI gateway, policy, MCP supply-chain protection and cost, with EU regulations as first-class features. We deploy it as EU SaaS, inside customer environments, or as a sovereign air-gapped instance. We tell customers honestly where Roder fits and where it doesn't.

How we work

Five values we hire for.

01

EU sovereignty by architecture

Not a region setting. Not a checkbox. The whole stack (control plane, data plane, identity, vault, observability) runs in the EU.

02

Compliance as code

EU regulations show up as SKUs and evidence templates, not promises. If a regulator asks, the answer is a log query.

03

Security never turns off

Budget caps degrade speed, not safety. WAF, CEL, Trifecta and GDPR controls stay on when overage hits. Always.

04

Honest about scope

We tell customers where Roder fits and where it doesn't. Five things we are not are listed on every relevant page.

05

Vendor-neutral by design

No SDK lock-in. Every major LLM. IdP-agnostic. AI provider choice is procurement, not engineering.

Team

Small. Focused. Built in Europe.

A focused team across Helsinki and Stockholm building Roder. We're growing intentionally: small enough to ship fast, large enough to give every customer hands-on attention during the v1 rollout.

Hands-on

In every customer conversation.

Founders are in every onboarding, every architecture review and every regulator question. No layers, no handoffs. The people building the product talk to the people using it.

European by default

Working hours, support and data, all EU.

EU business hours, EU-resident infrastructure, EU regulatory frameworks. Not because it's a checkbox, but because it's where the team lives, ships and operates.

Engineering-first

Built by people who've shipped at scale.

Backgrounds in runtime security, AI infrastructure, identity and compliance engineering. We build for the long tail of edge cases, because that's where AI breaks first.

Careers

Hiring engineers, security researchers and operators.

If you've shipped runtime security, AI infrastructure or compliance evidence systems, we'd like to talk. EU/EEA-based candidates only, with offices in Helsinki and Stockholm.
