About the company
SecureFlow is the AI vendor security questionnaire platform that helps B2B SaaS companies answer SIG, CAIQ, and custom questionnaires in hours instead of weeks. We are an early-stage team building a multi-million dollar ARR business - and we are looking for an early-career engineer to grow with us.
This is the job for someone who has built things on their own (school projects, personal projects, internships, bootcamp capstones, open-source contributions) and is ready to write production code that real customers depend on.
* Build product features end-to-end with mentorship from the senior engineer
* Fix bugs and improve test coverage across the codebase
* Pair with senior engineers on harder problems - you'll learn fast
* Write tests that catch regressions before customers do
* Review code as your skills grow (we expect every engineer to participate in PR review)
* Help with product polish - copy fixes, small UI improvements, error handling
