Senior Platform Engineer

Cybercrime is big business - and not just for the criminals. Business costs related to cybercrime are estimated to go up about 15% per each year reaching about $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. At CyberGRX, we are in the trenches helping businesses and clients combat those threats. 

We have transformed third-party cyber risk management for enterprises all over the world through our disruptive cloud-based exchange solution. We help companies achieve a detailed view of their third-party vendor ecosystem to help them quickly showcase, identify and mitigate security risks. We also work with our clients to provide cutting edge predictive analytics to provide insights into how they can better stop attacks from happening.

As a Platform Engineer, you will be a key owner in the design, build-out, and operations of our CI/CD system.

You’ll get to work with a small, highly motivated, and skilled team solving some of the biggest issues facing the world’s most influential companies.
