Job description

About Us

In today’s connected world, sharing private information is the lifeblood of any organization. However, the challenge of keeping sensitive data secure has only grown, leading to regular leaks—even within top-tier organizations. This breakdown of trust disrupts communication and causes significant harm to people and businesses.

About Us

In today’s connected world, sharing private information is the lifeblood of any organization. However, the challenge of keeping sensitive data secure has only grown, leading to regular leaks—even within top-tier organizations. This breakdown of trust disrupts communication and causes significant harm to people and businesses.

EchoMark offers a game-changing solution: we embed invisible, forensic markings in documents, personalized for each recipient. These markings don't disrupt information flow but allow leaks to be traced back to their source. The presence of EchoMark fosters trust, accountability, and better stewardship of private information.

We believe the future of information sharing lies in individualizing private data for each recipient, ensuring it stays secure while enabling teams to work effectively.

What You’ll Do

The ideal candidate is willing to work across disciplines and departments and is willing to design and scale architectures from the ground up. You should be prepared to wear many hats while learning new frameworks and technologies quickly to build high-quality products at scale.

Beyond engineering work, as one of our early employees you’ll be part of defining our company culture, values and style. Our current team is small but highly energetic, and excited to dig into big scary problems.

Your Responsibilities will include:

• Design, build, and scale out services. This includes the cloud infrastructure, database design, service architecture, and performance.
• Take ownership of products and features beyond just the engineering side of things, focusing on the end customer experience and value.
• Work with a talented group of engineers to change the way private information is shared.

What we’re looking for:

• 2+ years backend development
• BS in computer science or equivalent experience
• Languages: Python, C#, Java, or other equivalent OO programming language
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, such as Cloudformation, ARM, Terraform, or equivalent technologies
• Experience with AWS, Azure, GCP, or other equivalent cloud providers.
• Experience building services and deploying them at scale.
• Experience designing scalable storage schemas, including Relational DBs, NoSQL, Blobs, and Search.
• Experience in designing RBAC and security into services and technical architecture.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Plans for employees and their dependents
• Generous PTO to support work-life balance
• 401(k) Plan to help you plan for the future
