Cybersecurity for growing businesses is broken — even enterprises spend heavily across hundreds of disconnected tools for marginal real-world benefit. For startups and mid-sized firms, this gap often means forgoing security entirely, or cobbling together a solution that leaves them vulnerable in other ways. At Zip Security, we build solutions that make enterprise cybersecurity effective and doable for growing businesses of all kinds, whether or not they have a security team in house.
Our product is a complete security program that automates device management, endpoint security, identity and access management, compliance, and managed IT and security operations to keep teams of all kinds protected. We help our customers pick their right security frameworks, correctly deploy the tools, policies, and controls they need, and keep everything enforced over time, so their business is protected and compliant, 24/7.
Zip is at the cutting edge of what’s possible in cybersecurity, and dedicated to delivering value for our customers. It’s a big part of why we’re backed by Ballistic Ventures. Major platforms are opening APIs that enable automated management at scale, new government initiatives are surfacing global threat data, and we're positioned to be the first to properly integrate all of it. We're looking for driven, talented people to help us get there. If this resonates with you, we invite you to consider building alongside our team.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll help build from the ground up, designing and implementing secure APIs that harmonize functionality across multiple different enterprise software providers. You'll build a first-class, multi-tenant, cloud-native product and gain experience with everything from optimizing database queries to constructing secure login. You'll gain experience with:
