We are headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan but are open to hiring the right candidate to work 100% remote. 

Censys ingests millions of certificates and billions of network handshakes daily and exposes this data to customers to help them secure their organization by understanding their network attack surface. We’re a true startup with midwestern roots and a brilliant academia-backed founding team. We’re looking for a high-energy, action-oriented person who is interested in helping build a product and culture that we’re proud of for years to come.

We’re looking for a Front End Engineer to build APIs, UI components and user experiences in web-based applications that empower security teams to defend their organizations. As a member of the Risks team, you'll surface meaningful insights and actions to take on customer assets, help organizations define their inventory and attack perimeters, and build workflows for identifying and remediating risks. 

What You’ll Do

  • Plan user-facing features with engineering, product, and design teams
  • Present an inventory of assets and risks (Typescript and React)
  • Deliver frontend components (React)
  • Build, test, deploy, and monitor code automatically
  • Work in iterative development cycles

This job is a good fit if you..

  • Thrive in a fast paced startup environment where changes happen quickly
  • Contribute to our culture of learning. Take ownership of issues, admit mistakes, and work to improve over time.
  • Make informed decisions by combining empirical evidence with domain expertise and good judgment. Ability to contribute to the security domain expertise both within the team and Censys at large is a huge plus.
  • Operate and contribute effectively as part of a team where we work together to solve problems
  • You are a strong communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to other engineers, designers, sales people, and content marketers is no problem for you.

This job is not a good fit if you..

  • Think engineering’s job is done after the code is delivered.
  • You are more motivated by technology than understanding customer problems
  • Don’t enjoy helping your colleagues around you

Recommended Experience

  • 2+ years of professional experience building web applications, APIs, and frontends
  • A common web programming language (e.g. TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Golang, or Java)
  • At least one backend web framework (e.g. Express, Fastify, Django, Rails, or Spring)
  • SQL, to retrieve and manipulate stored data
  • Code organization for testability and maintainability

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Censys is an equal opportunity employer.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past.
