Get to know our Team:
We are a company growing fast, and we are looking to deliver features at an astonishing rate. This needs to have a fundamentally different approach to security. To scale our security practice to the speed of our engineering, we try to incorporate “compile-time security” or “Secure by default” frameworks. The Platform security engineering team will focus on building code constructs and tools that would help us to adopt the “Secure by Default” philosophy. This role would have a far reaching impact on how our products embrace security.
