Company mission
Their goal is resilience, and they build security that works (and works simply).
Role
Who you are
- Technical Ability: Solid software engineering fundamentals, raw coding ability, and problem-solving ability are key. Ideal candidates are prolific but careful coders in at least one mainstream language and have the ability to easily pick up new ones (i.e. Typescript). They can quickly identify the best ways to tackle challenging problems while explaining their decisions to teammates
- Technical Maturity: Our engineering team punches above its weight because everyone can write very high-quality code without too much oversight. The foresight to understand what risks we should/should-not take is crucial to reliably ship production code
- Ownership: We love engineers who deeply care about the impact of their work and find satisfaction in a job well done. Strong ownership starts before the first line of code (is this the right approach?) and continues after the last commit is merged (now that we've shipped, how is this behaving in prod?)
- Attitude & Ambition: The best candidates are smart, hard-working, competitive, and not afraid to fail. They are team first but willing to take the lead with minimal guidance and supervision
What the job involves
- Build scalable distributed systems capable of efficiently handling high throughput
- Design, implement, and maintain scalable and robust software systems
- Collaborate and partner with our product teams to build and maintain reliable and sustainable software
- Ship high-impact features or projects (in collaboration with product and security) while leveraging modern frameworks and tooling
- Contribute to great engineering culture through active participation and mentorship
Our take
Email hacks are a real and immediate threat for businesses. Material Security is setting out to solve this problem by protecting companies and their employees.
Material Security was founded following the 2016 election hacking scandal, tapping into widespread demand for more resilient email protection. The company is led by a team of experienced ex-Google and Dropbox managers, which has shaped its tech considerably. The company is now valued at over $1 billion, an impressive testament to the quality of its solutions.
Material Security's main challenge will be competing with rival security providers. However, given its unicorn status, the company is likely to scale even further in the coming years and is well poised to open up a significant market lead.
