Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Anysphere is on a mission to automate coding by building the best tools for professional programmers through research, design, and engineering. The Security Software Engineer will build secure products end-to-end across enterprise security, cloud infrastructure, and product-embedded protections, safeguarding the platform, editor, and customers.

Responsibilities

  • Implement a paved road for preventing inappropriate data from being logged

Skills

  • You care about developer experience, building solutions that are secure and frictionless
  • You're comfortable moving quickly, owning problems end to end, and iterating with limited guidance
  • You have experience building or scaling secure systems in fast-moving environments
  • You have strong opinions on secure defaults, but can balance pragmatism with rigor
  • You enjoy working on small, high-talent teams where impact is magnified
  • You're motivated by protecting developers and users, and you see security as an enabler
