What the job involves

This individual will work within a development scrum team toward building quality products
This role will involve setting up test environments and infrastructure. Additionally, this individual will brainstorm new ways to improve quality and testing, building off of personal and team members’ ideas. They will identify, classify, and debug defects in code
Design, develop, and contribute to the MixMode test automation frameworks

Research emerging automation technologies, and work with the team to integrate them into the existing automation infrastructure where appropriate

Our take

Cybersecurity solutions providers have long been playing catch-up against attackers, but MixMode is attempting to disrupt the cybersecurity market with an AI-enabled, self-learning platform.

With both a significant talent shortage in the cybersecurity industry and a rapidly shifting attack landscape, MixMode’s platform is designed to anticipate and prevent novel attacks, which make up as much as 80% of successful attacks, while also massively reducing false positives (when an alert wrongly detects a suspicious activity).

MixMode platform is the first of its kind to meet DARPA’s “third wave AI” criteria, meaning that it needs no training data, no manual data input or configuration. It’s little surprise, then, that the company has been quick to raise venture capital backing as it looks to double down on its momentum.
