Role
Who you are
- Product minded - we're looking for individuals who get excited about building a product that solves problems for users, not necessarily just about the technical side of things
- You understand tradeoffs and how to balance building something right and getting it in the hands of customers
- You're comfortable speaking to and helping resolve issues customers are facing - we're a small team so this is a shared responsibility
- Most importantly, the idea of joining Ploy at this stage makes you super excited…maybe with a touch of hesitation, we think that’s probably about right
Desirable
- You've had experience with our tech stack (desired not essential) (React/Typscript frontend, Elixir/Phoenix backend, AWS infra)
- Cyber security background - whether thats securing applications, working in a more IT role previously or red team activities
- You've built or worked technically challenging systems at scale before. We aren't putting a man on mars, but there are some interesting challenges we face
What the job involves
- Collaborate closely with the founding team to develop and refine the product vision
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable, high-quality software solutions that meet our customers' needs
- Take ownership of features end to end, from concept through deployment and support
- Build out scalable patterns and architecture that allow us to not only move fast now, but in the future
- Engage with customers and users to gather feedback and insights, using this information to guide product improvements
- Mentor future team members as our company grows, helping to build a culture of excellence in engineering
Application process
- Intro call
- Technical interview
- Meet the team/CEO
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Ploy is a cutting-edge platform designed to help businesses manage access and identity security. In today's landscape, where employees interact with countless applications and systems, ensuring secure access has become increasingly complex. Ploy unifies identity silos by integrating with existing identity and access management (IAM) tools, providing a complete overview of user identities and permissions.
Ploy automates the entire identity lifecycle - from onboarding to offboarding - empowering teams with self-service access requests and just-in-time (JIT) permissions, while significantly reducing security risks like Shadow IT. With features like automated access reviews, suspicious app detection, and SaaS license optimisation, Ploy ensures compliance with standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 while cutting costs by eliminating unnecessary licenses.
Founded in 2023, Ploy has already earned the trust of innovative companies like PayFit, Times Higher Education, and Sidekick. As it continues to grow, Ploy is poised to transform the way businesses secure access and manage SaaS sprawl, delivering unparalleled control, security, and efficiency to its customers.
