What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Front-End Engineer to join our Security Foundations team
- The Security Foundations team is part of the Security organization and is broadly responsible for upholding user trust
- This team focuses on building software services and product experiences around improving trust in areas such as Identity, Privacy, Access Control, Secret Management, and Fraud and Abuse protection. This role involves building and operating user experiences in these areas
- You will work closely with cross-functional stakeholders, including product, marketing, and data science, to ensure our user-facing features uphold our trust goals
- Grammarly’s engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap
- As a Front-End Engineer on Security Foundations, your work will be highly impactful and visible

Our take
From professional writing to everyday correspondence, effective communication is critical. Grammarly is an AI-powered writing assistant that helps people write clearly and without mistakes, checking spelling, grammar, and other potential pitfalls.
Grammarly was originally launched as a subscription service for students, although the platform has moved into the mainstream in the last decade. It went freemium in 2015 and now works across more than 500,000 applications and websites, including email clients, enterprise software, and word processors. Paid tiers give users more tools beyond grammar and spelling checks, including things like word choice, sentence rewrites, tone adjustments, fluency, and formality level.
The company has been profitable since the beginning and now has a valuation of more than $13 billion, placing it among the 10 most valuable startups in the US. The AI writing assistant space is heating up, and Grammarly is hoping to defend its position against offerings including Scalenut, Ginger and Microsoft's Editor by the release of its SDK, making it far easier to integrate Grammarly into other applications. So far, this has been used in over 4,000 products and earned excellent ratings and increased user numbers of Grammarly's service.
