  • Partner closely with backend, product, and design to deliver end-to-end features
  • Build intuitive workflows that make secure software consumption frictionless for developers
  • Contribute to 0→1 product development, rapidly iterating and shipping new features
  • Leverage AI-driven workflows to accelerate development and improve product capabilities
  • Help shape how developers interact with and trust software supply chains
What we’re looking for:
  • 8+ years of experience building modern web applications at scale
  • Deep expertise in:
    • React
    • Material UI (or similar component systems)
    • GraphQL
  • Experience building high-performance UIs that manage large, complex datasets
  • Strong product ownership mindset. You can take a problem space and run with it
  • Experience working with modern frontend infrastructure (e.g., Vercel or similar)
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., Claude, Copilot, or similar)
  • Experience building or integrating AI-driven product features or workflows
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
Nice to Have

  • Exposure to software supply chain security or infrastructure products
  • Experience building data-heavy or analytics-driven interfaces
  • Background in monorepos or large-scale dependency systems

About Us

We live and breathe our company values:

A few of the benefits we offer:

  • Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
  • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
  • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
  • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
  • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
