Job description

Company

Enterprise cybersecurity is broken. Current annual cybersecurity spending is roughly $150B, with most enterprises spending heavily to deploy, manage, and configure 100s of different tools for marginal security benefit. At Zip, our goal is to build software that makes enterprise cybersecurity reasonable – to reduce bloat by bundling and configuring opinionated security tooling, synchronizing everything from device management to application security under one central pane of glass.

Multiple companies with security offerings from Google to Jamf are now releasing APIs that allow automated management, and with new government efforts to publish data on the global security risk landscape, there’s a unique opportunity to be the first in the market to properly integrate and build a full‑stack, opinionated, enterprise security company. At Zip, you’ll be at the cutting edge of security, working with some of the world’s most important companies to effortlessly secure their people, software, and data.

Our Values

We want our employees to learn, grow, and have career satisfaction.

We are a high‑autonomy, high‑trust organization that prioritizes thoughtful communication. No one likes being micromanaged. At Zip, we value autonomy and trust our employees to get the job done.

We add communication here to emphasize that high autonomy and high trust doesn’t mean no support.

Thoughtful communication in tandem with high ownership is key to building a successful culture and external collaboration.

We value transparency, equity, and empathy.

We want to move fast, be flexible, but not break things. We’re a start‑up: we need to move fast, but we don’t want to break things and want to balance speed with thoughtful intentionality.

We value balance.

We assume best intentions. We’re a team working together to make enterprise cybersecurity easy. We assume best intentions of coworkers to build a great culture.

The Role

As a Founding Backend Engineer, you’ll help build from the ground up, designing and implementing secure APIs that harmonize functionality across multiple enterprise software providers. You’ll build a first‑class, multi‑tenant, cloud‑native product and gain experience with everything from optimizing database queries to constructing secure login. You’ll gain experience with:

AWS services (RDS, ECS, Fargate, etc.)

Infrastructure as code (Pulumi, TypeScript)

Docker

Rust

Auth0, HashiCorp Vault

Common enterprise security tooling (Jamf/Okta/GSuite/Microsoft Intune/Crowdstrike, etc.)

Requirements

Overall, we’re looking for software engineers with high‑ownership, autonomy, and willingness to learn.

Familiarity with AWS services.

2+ years of experience as a software engineer.

Willingness to learn new things.

Interest in security.

Startup experience.
