About Teramind

Teramind is the leading platform for user behavior analytics, serving multiple use cases from insider risk mitigation to business process optimization. With our comprehensive suite of solutions, organizations gain unprecedented visibility into user activities while enhancing security, optimizing productivity, and ensuring compliance. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and businesses of all sizes across industries, our innovative platform helps organizations protect sensitive data, maximize workforce performance, and create safer, more efficient digital workplaces. Through real‑time monitoring and advanced analytics, we enable businesses to safeguard their most sensitive information while optimizing employee productivity in both in‑office and remote work environments.

Our Core Values

At Teramind, our values drive everything we do. We embrace innovation as a fundamental principle, constantly pushing boundaries to improve our products, streamline processes, and enhance customer experiences. We foster resourcefulness by empowering our team members with the autonomy and confidence to solve problems independently while providing collaborative support when needed. As a globally inclusive organization, we celebrate diversity and create an adaptable work culture where respect and collaboration thrive across our international teams. Above all, we are committed to excellence, delivering the highest quality in every aspect of our work and consistently exceeding expectations in service to our clients and each other.

The Challenge

Teramind protects 10,000+ organizations from insider threats by analyzing billions of behavioral events daily. We’re scaling to 100,000 customers, and our data platform needs to scale with us—without falling over at 3AM or burning through our cloud budget. This isn’t a Python job. It’s a "make massive amounts of data queryable in under 2 seconds" job. Python happens to be what we use today.

What You’ll Own

• Architecture that handles 10x growth without 10x complexity
• Making 5 engineers as effective as 15 through better tools and patterns
• Building systems that self‑heal so you can actually sleep
• Turning "we need better analytics" into actual solutions
• Choosing our next database, framework, or approach—and teaching us why

Could you solve these example issues?

• Customer dashboard queries hit 45‑second timeouts on Monday mornings
• A "quick fix" data migration has been running for 3 weeks
• Third‑party API changes broke 40% of integrations
• Compliance wants 7‑year retention. How do companies comply without storage fees going through the roof?

What We Care About

• ✓ You ship. Perfection is the enemy of progress.
• ✓ You simplify. Your solutions make complex problems feel obvious.
• ✓ You teach. Your code reviews educate instead of criticize.
• ✓ You learn. New database? You figure it out.
• ✓ You own. If it’s broken, you fix it.
