Xeol
Software security from code to deploy
Founding Engineer
About the role
We are 2 technical founders. Benji was SRE @ Datadog and EM @ Ada. ShiHan was Director of Engineering @ Electric and founding engineer @ Ada.
We are hiring a founding engineer. This means you will be touching every piece of the pie and wearing many hats in the years to come. We are looking for self-starters with strong opinions about security. If you know these acronyms; SBOM, SLSA, OSSF, you will be right at home.
We will be in-person in NYC because the first 10 hires are the pillars of this company. Sharing the same space is the best way to build strong working relationships.
The ideal candidate has lots of experience with golang and loves the security space.
Stack: golang, graphql, react, typescript, postgres
