Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of professional experience building web applications, APIs, and frontends
- Highly skilled with React or a React-based Framework (Next.js, Remix, etc.), based primarily in TypeScript
- Experience with both Server Side Rendering (SSR) and Client Side Rendering (CSR) techniques, and others such as Progressive Hydration and Island Architectures, including understanding the tradeoffs between different techniques, and when to apply them to provide the best user experience
- Experience and passion for design, leveraging CSS and styling techniques to work with UX to build both functional and beautiful UI components
- Experience building and working on-top of web APIs such as RESTful JSON, GraphQL, and others. Experience with backend languages such as Golang or Python is not required but will make you stand out
- Familiarity with the HTTP protocol, with a good understanding of how to leverage newer HTTP features such as Websockets, HTTP/2, Early Hints, and others to provide a pristine user experience
- Familiarity with front-end build processes, and ability to interact, debug, and improve build systems based on Webpack, Vite, Esbuild, or similar
- Familiarity interacting with the web-backend, including interfacing with microservices over IDLs such as gRPC
- Familiarity with SQL and/or other database engines such as document stores, to retrieve and manipulate stored data
Desirable
- Experience building and deploying web applications to Kubernetes, and familiarity with a Cloud-based environment, such as AWS or GCP
- Comfortable working in a continuous delivery-based environment, with CI/CD
- Has an eye toward code organization for testability and maintainability
- Thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where changes happen quickly and loose requirements are defined, and where priorities may change rapidly to suit business needs and success
- Can contribute to our culture of learning and personal ownership. Can take ownership of systems, projects, and issues, admit mistakes, and work to improve over time
- Make informed decisions by combining empirical evidence with domain expertise and good judgment, including having strong opinions held loosely
- Operate and contribute effectively as part of a team where we work together to solve problems
- Must be a strong communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to other engineers, designers, solutions engineers, PMs, and content marketers is no problem for you
What the job involves
- Censys is seeking a Senior Frontend Software Engineer to develop and maintain the next generation of the Censys platform
- You will be adding new features to support mission-critical workflows, fine-tune the current functionality of our existing platform, and enhance the user experience for an evolving set of user profiles who find Censys’ world-class data critical to their job
- Plan user-facing features with engineering, product, and design teams
- Build well-tested frontend components (Typescript and React)
- Work with designers and the Censys design system to create robust user experiences
- Integrate with existing backend APIs
- Build, test, deploy, and monitor code automatically
- Work in iterative development cycles
- Investigate how we can provide actionable insights for users based on our world-class data
Our take
Censys is the leading provider of continuous attack surface management, as its platform provides the world’s most comprehensive real-time view of global networks and devices. Its market-leading internet datasets and comprehensive certificate database, as well as its integrations with common cloud providers, uncover the hidden links between assets, unknown assets and associated risks, and provides a comprehensive internet inventory.
Some of its customers include Google, NATO, FireEye, Swiss Armed Forces, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and over 10% of the Fortune 500. While the company has been growing rapidly (seeing triple-digit year on year revenue growth) Censys remains focused on accelerating R&D, engineering, and product/sales operations, particularly in Western Europe.
$75 million in funding awarded in 2023 is being used to fund its expansion and consolidate its status as a leading player in global internet infrastructure. Between 2022 and 23, the company enjoyed a 130% annual growth, an upward trajectory that is only set to continue.
