About us

Truffle Security is a cybersecurity company on a mission to make secrets easier to detect, verify, and remediate across modern software environments. Built on the popular open-source TruffleHog™ secrets scanning platform, the company's enterprise solution gives security and engineering teams everything they need to find exposed credentials, understand which ones are active, and act on them with confidence.

With support for 800+ credential types, Truffle Security continuously monitors non-human identities (NHIs) and their associated secrets across code repositories, SaaS applications, wikis, and cloud systems. It goes beyond detection by verifying which secrets are live, analyzing their scope of access, and streamlining remediation through automated workflows and lifecycle management so teams can prioritize what to revoke and confirm it's done without manual follow-up.

Trusted by organizations including NVIDIA, Chick-fil-A, and OpenAI, Truffle Security helps security and engineering teams stay ahead of secrets risk.

About the role

We’re seeking a talented Senior Frontend Engineer to join our Engineering team. This team owns the TruffleHog Enterprise web experience, including our frontend application built with React, TypeScript, and Chakra UI, along with the APIs and supporting infrastructure that power it.

In this role, you’ll lead the development of intuitive, performant, and scalable user interfaces that help customers understand and secure their environments. You’ll work closely with product, design, and backend engineers to shape user-facing features from concept to production, with a strong focus on frontend architecture, usability, accessibility, and developer experience.

While this is primarily a frontend-focused role, familiarity with backend systems and APIs—particularly Django REST Framework—is valuable for collaborating across the stack and contributing to end-to-end product development.

We’re looking for engineers with deep expertise in modern frontend development, strong product instincts, and a passion for building polished user experiences.

What you'll be working on

  • Design, build, and maintain high-quality frontend applications using React, TypeScript, and Chakra UI.
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and backend engineering teams to deliver intuitive and performant user experiences.
  • Own frontend architecture decisions, including state management, component design systems, performance optimization, and accessibility.
  • Build interfaces that help customers analyze complex security data, including audit logs, secrets exposure, and remediation workflows.
  • Lead frontend initiatives that improve usability, onboarding, and feature adoption across the product experience.
  • Improve frontend developer experience through reusable components, testing strategies, tooling, and engineering best practices.
  • Mentor engineers through code reviews, technical guidance, and collaborative problem-solving.
  • Contribute to technical planning and roadmap discussions, helping shape the future direction of our frontend platform.
  • Advocate for quality, maintainability, and thoughtful user experience across the engineering organization.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Strong expertise in frontend web development with React and TypeScript.
  • Experience building and maintaining complex, production-grade web applications.
  • Strong understanding of modern frontend architecture, component-driven development, and responsive UI design.
  • Experience collaborating with backend APIs and full-stack systems.
  • Familiarity with Django REST Framework or similar API technologies.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and design teams.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to a collaborative engineering culture.
  • Passion for creating polished, accessible, and user-centric experiences.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality software in fast-paced environments.

Salary Range: The target base salary range for this position is between $160,000-$200,000 for candidates in the United States. Starting salary will vary based on job-related skills, knowledge, and experience. This role may span multiple levels, and leveling will be determined during the interview process. You may also be offered a bonus, stock options, and benefits. These salary ranges are subject to change, and we encourage candidates outside of this salary range to apply.
