You'll have the exciting opportunity to build this platform from the ground up, using a modern tech stack that supports a wide range of customer use cases.

As part of the IIP Front-End team, you'll work on developing UI components, crafting user experiences, and integrating with APIs for our web-based SaaS application, designed to empower security teams. The platform will drive innovation, offer unlimited scalability, and provide enhanced data access. Your work will help users uncover meaningful insights into Internet infrastructure, making the Internet a safer place for everyone.

• Humble Brilliance: We celebrate intelligence and foster a culture where tackling cybersecurity challenges is exciting and rewarding.
• A Mosaic of Minds: Our diverse team brings together various talents and backgrounds, fostering true innovation through diverse perspectives.
• Thinkers and Tinkerers: At Censys, we encourage questioning the status quo, experimenting, and pushing boundaries to drive breakthroughs.
• Coffee-Fueled Collaboration: Collaboration is at the heart of our success, fueled by a shared passion for disrupting the cybersecurity scene.
• Trailblazing Impact: Your innovations at Censys make waves in real-world cybersecurity, shaping the future and leaving a lasting legacy.
• Life Beyond the Firewall: We prioritize work-life balance and support your well-being inside and outside the office.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineers to design and develop the IIP platform
• Build high-quality, thoroughly tested front-end components and customer-facing features
• Work closely with the Design team to deliver robust, consistent, and seamless user experiences with a strong focus on attention to detail
• Integrate with backend APIs to create dynamic, data-driven user interfaces that address customer challenges
• Engage in iterative development cycles to continuously refine and improve the platform
• Troubleshoot and resolve bugs to enhance the overall user experience of the platform.

What you’ll bring:

• 1-2  years of professional experience building web applications, APIs, and frontends
• Experience with common web programming languages such as TypeScript and  JavaScript
• Experience with at least one frontend web framework (e.g. Remix, React, Angular, Vue, or Next)
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD deployment processes
• A positive attitude and willingness to take on new challenges

This Role Might Be A Good Fit If You...

• You thrive in a fast-paced environment where change is constant, and you are able to navigate with ease and adaptability
• You have a curious mind and strong eagerness to learn
• You proactively seek ways to move forward and aren’t afraid to ask for help when needed
• You embrace feedback and are always looking for opportunities to improve and grow your skills
• You believe that to be your best, you need to work alongside the best, and you welcome constructive feedback as part of a growth mindset
• You understand that soft skills are as important as technical skills, and you excel at collaboration and communication

This Role Might Not Be A Good Fit If You...

• Believe that engineering’s role ends once the code is delivered, rather than throughout the product life cycle
• Don’t value the code review process or resist constructive feedback
• Settle for the status quo and don’t seek improvement
• Prefer to wait for direction instead of taking the initiative

Our target salary range for this role is between $100,000 - $140,000 USD + bonus eligibility and equity.
