Front End Software Engineer

At Censys, our mission is to bring internet visibility and intelligence to the world’s security teams. Our platform not only identifies potential threats, but provides actionable insights and enables proactive defense strategies. Founded by researchers and practitioners, we are deeply committed to the quality, trustworthiness, and transparency of our data and results. As our own strongest critics, we continuously innovate to better understand the Internet and empower our customers with the visibility they need to succeed.

Role Summary:

Censys is seeking a high-caliber Front-End Engineer to help develop our Internet Intelligence Platform™ (IIP™). This platform will unify our Attack Surface Management and Search products into a single, powerful solution, leveraging our industry-leading Global Internet Map. 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 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.

Why Censys Sticks Out:

• 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.
• Empowered Voices: Your voice matters at Censys; we champion an inclusive culture where diverse perspectives drive change.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Back-End Engineers to design and develop the new IIP™
• Develop high-quality, thoroughly tested front-end components
• Partner with the Design team to craft robust user experiences while maintaining the Censys Design System
• Integrate with backend APIs to create dynamic, data-driven user interfaces that address customer challenges
• Automate the building, testing, deployment, and monitoring of your code
• Engage in iterative development cycles to continuously refine and improve the platform

What you’ll bring:

• 3+ years of professional experience building web applications, APIs, and frontends
• Expertise with common web programming languages such as TypeScript and JavaScript
• Expertise with at least one frontend web framework (e.g. Remix, React, Angular, Vue, or Next)
• Familiarity with Docker and interest in improving our CI/CD deployment process
• Desire to improve test coverage and increase code maintainability

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 take ownership of projects and don’t wait for direction—you proactively find ways to move forward
• 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 hold yourself to high standards, striving for excellence in everything you do
• You proactively seek opportunities to go above and beyond, driving innovation, improving efficiency, and enhancing the team's overall output
• Your soft skills are just as strong as your technical expertise—you excel at collaboration and communication, and people looking forward to working with you

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
• Don’t enjoy supporting and mentoring your colleagues to foster team growth

Our target salary range for this role is between $120,000 - $145,000 USD + bonus eligibility and equity.

In addition to our great compensation package, our benefits are effective on day one and include but are not limited to 401k match, health, vision, dental, and more! Please see our careers page for more details.

Our roots are in Ann Arbor, Michigan with location hubs in Seattle, the Bay Area, and Tysons, VA. Our innovation is fueled by the team’s global perspectives and diverse backgrounds. For this role, we are looking for candidates based in one of our four hub locations: Seattle, WA, Los Altos, CA, Tysons, VA, or Ann Arbor, MI and go into the office three days per week.

Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they feel they meet every qualification. At Censys we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace - so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every listed requirement in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
