Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Frontend Engineer at Material Security, you’ll be part of a small, high‑impact team building the next generation of security for Google Workspace and O365 using modern React and Typescript. You’ll own key parts of our platform, creating fast, elegant, and reliable interfaces that simply solve complex security needs and protect our users’ most sensitive data.

Responsibilities

• Build polished, fast, and reliable user interfaces with React that customers love to use.

• Work hand‑in‑hand with product, design, and backend engineering to deliver complete, meaningful features.

• Keep our frontend codebase healthy, maintainable, and a joy to work in. Set a high bar for code quality, maintainability, and user experience.

• Embody our values, especially “Start with Yes”.

What We’re Looking For

• Technical Ability: Solid software engineering fundamentals, raw coding ability, and problem-solving ability are key. Ideal candidates are prolific but careful frontend coders in at least one mainstream language and have the ability to easily pick up new ones (i.e. Typescript). They can quickly identify the best ways to tackle challenging problems while explaining their decisions to teammates.

• Technical Maturity: Our engineering team punches above its weight because everyone can write very high-quality code without too much oversight. The foresight to understand what risks we should/should-not take is crucial to reliably ship production code.

• Ownership: We love engineers who deeply care about the impact of their work and find satisfaction in a job well done. Strong ownership starts before the first line of code (is this the right approach?) and continues after the last commit is merged (now that we've shipped, how is this behaving in prod?).

• Attitude & Ambition: The best candidates are smart, hard-working, competitive, and not afraid to fail. They are team first but willing to take the lead with minimal guidance and supervision.

• Communication & Collaboration: We love teammates who can articulate challenges and solutions while actively supporting their peers.
