Material Security

Employee count: 51-200

As a Senior Software Engineer at Material Security, you’ll be part of an early, remote first, fast-growing team of experienced engineers. We're expanding the detection and analysis capabilities of our world-class Phishing product, while simultaneously overhauling the performance and scale of our existing email platform. We run the “secret sauce” that powers Material’s active protections and the platform that the rest of the product is built on.

Responsibilities

  • Build scalable distributed systems capable of efficiently handling high throughput.

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable and robust software systems.

  • 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.

What We’re Looking For

  • 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.

View company profile

At Material Security, the core mission revolves around safeguarding the fundamental digital materials that constitute a modern organization – the emails, documents, and accounts residing within cloud office suites like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Recognizing that traditional security measures often fall short in protecting these critical assets, Material has pioneered a platform designed to secure this infrastructure comprehensively: before, during, and after a security incident. The company's philosophy is rooted in building security solutions that are not only effective but also seamlessly integrate into existing workflows, thereby enabling productivity while ensuring peace of mind. This approach is driven by the understanding that fragmented point solutions are inadequate against the evolving threats and vulnerabilities targeting cloud workspaces.

Material Security's culture emphasizes resilience and simplicity. They strive to deliver security that works intuitively, without unnecessary complexity or 'technobabble'. This commitment is reflected in their innovative use of APIs to integrate with cloud platforms, allowing for rapid deployment and robust protection. The company fosters an environment where employees are empowered to contribute to this mission, whether from their San Francisco headquarters, co-working spaces, or remote locations, reflecting a trust in their team to deliver their best work from their ideal environment. Backed by prominent investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Founders Fund, Material Security protects some of the world's most dynamic and rapidly growing companies, including Figma, Mars, DoorDash, and Lyft. Their focus extends beyond merely blocking threats to providing deep visibility, automating responses, and empowering users, ultimately aiming to build an enduring, independent cybersecurity company that has a real impact on securing the critical digital infrastructure powering the modern world.
