Backend Engineer (Ruby on Rails)

About us

Most engagements start with a vulnerability scan and a tabletop exercise with the client's leadership. The product is a vulnerability management platform that scans networks and ranks fixes by real-world risk. Nobody gets in trouble for clicking a test phish. You report it and move on.
