TalonX Careers
Senior Frontend Engineer
About the job
We are an early stage company in the Security Automation space. We are founded and led by experts in security software products and services, with extensive experience at venture-backed startups and decades of security domain experience. We have identified an important gap in the market and are gearing up to fill this gap.
Our solution requires constructing a challenging system from the ground up. This will be a cloud-based SaaS system that will eventually need to run at scale.
You will be building the user experience for a rich, nuanced and mission-critical application that keeps our customers safe. You’ll work closely with Design and Product to build a dramatically easier-to-use approach to security and security automation.
You’ll be a good match if you relish the opportunity to build a greenfield product that incorporates all that you’ve learned from your past experiences. We have settled on AWS, LInux, GraphQL and React.js but almost everything else will be determined by our early engineers. You’ll be deep into hands-on coding day to day.
We want you to be informed, opinionated and curious about the right frontend tool set and approach for us to employ.
Come shape the first versions of our products and technologies!
Requirements
You’ll need this background in order to be successful in the role:

Multiple projects demonstrating a clear understanding of an end-to-end application implementation.
Some experience in an early-phase startup. This doesn’t have to be all or even a large part of your career, but we need someone who has startup DNA
Excitement at the prospect of building something from the ground up. Comfortable with helping set the direction for the company, product and technology

The more of these the better, but none are required:

Experience with security software and systems
Experience building from the ground up in a startup environment
