Our product collects and interfaces with proprietary data from large, enterprise customers, and keeping this data secure is a core pillar of our product strategy. So far we’ve designed secure, reliable products by being careful and maintaining a simple system. While we want to push this as far as we can, as we add customers, new team members, and new product capabilities, complexity will grow, requiring continuously improving process, implementation, and policies around security.
We’re looking for a security-minded software engineer. You will implement new features, build infrastructure, and scale our product alongside the rest of the team, but with a particular emphasis on security. Examples of things you may work on include:
•
Building scalable web services and intuitive APIs with modern Python
•
Guiding the company through security certifications and audits (e.g. SOC 2) as we grow our enterprise customer base
•
Refining our threat model and improve access control across the product
•
Managing cloud infrastructure using IaC tools, including Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform
•
Expanding our security monitoring using standard tools (e.g. Datadog)
•
Improving CI/CD pipelines to help us ship quickly and with high quality
•
Developing dashboards for internal and external users
•
Distributed systems for compute-heavy ML workloads
Most importantly, it means defining the principles and building the process so that everyone on the team builds secure systems by default.
Our team is still small, and there’s no dedicated PM assigning out tickets. Engineers are expected to closely collaborate with all aspects of the business to figure out what needs to get done, pull in the right people for prioritization and sign-off, and move projects forward autonomously.
The team works in-person 5 days a week by default, right in Kendall Square next to MIT and the Charles River.
