- Stay current on the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and technologies to enhance our security posture

YOUR BACKGROUND LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE:

- Extensive experience building production software, with hands-on exposure to security-sensitive work (auth, data handling, API design, encryption or similar) and a genuine interest in going deeper into application security

- Comfortable with secure coding practices and at least one of: threat modelling, risk assessments, or incident response, with appetite to grow across the rest

- Proficiency in programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, or similar

- Experience with cloud and cloud security (we use AWS)

- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex security issues to both technical and non-technical audiences

AS A PERSON, YOU…

- Are first and foremost a builder who thinks like an attacker

- Value working with people who are kind, ambitious, and pragmatic

- Have a passion for protecting users and building secure systems

- Thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can make a direct impact on product security

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We are living in the most exciting time for tool builders since Engelbart's demo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos in 1968. We want to assemble the best crew to build this future together, here in London. Our compensation philosophy is to pay slightly above market on salary and above market on equity.

We do our best work in person, and so our team spends time together five days per week in our new, bright, and spacious office at Old Street. We are happy to offer relocation assistance to candidates who'll be moving to London to join us.
