• Diagnose customer issues and assist our customer support team as needed.
• Demonstrate perseverance while discovering a bug or issue’s root cause.
• Report and clearly document issues that you find in our bug tracking system.
• Collaborate with a nice, fun and motivated group of fellow engineers on a daily basis.

• Experience developing containerized services deployed to cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
• Demonstrable knowledge of programming fundamentals and development methodologies.
• A passion for creating quality software that will help protect private data.
• Excellent interpersonal skills including ability to create clear and concise written communications.
• Knowledge of multiple front-end languages and libraries (e.g. HTML/ CSS, JavaScript, VueJS, ReactJS, AngularJS, jQuery)
