We bring together expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and software to create products that seek to finally shift the advantage in security from offense to defense.

Our Team and Values

Joining Method means becoming part of an elite, mission-driven team that values innovation, transparency, and high standards. We work with purpose, embracing diverse perspectives and experiences while maintaining a high bar for quality. Our team is built around trust, efficiency, and respect.

Role Overview

As a Product focused Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for taking user-facing feature ideas from concept all the way to delivery. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to create features, to include frontend interfaces and backend logic, that are not only functional but are also user-centered, supporting our mission to provide superior defenses. This role calls for someone who can independently manage projects, troubleshoot effectively, and work across the stack.

Key Responsibilities

• Ownership of projects from conception to delivery, effectively managing any blockers or challenges along the way.

• Collaborate with engineers and designers to create user-friendly workflows and ensure that the user experience aligns with our core values.

• Participate in code reviews, contribute to best practices, and continuously improve our development processes.

• Work directly with end users to ensure that Method is meeting operational needs and solving real world problems.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in web development, with a strong preference for proficiency in React and Typescript.

• Strong experience designing backend APIs and crafting efficient database schemas.

• Ability to independently manage project scopes, set realistic timelines, and resolve issues autonomously.

• Effective written and verbal communication skills to facilitate collaboration in a distributed team.

Nice to Have

• Experience with strongly typed programming languages; Java is preferred.

• Experience with frontend testing frameworks or other tools to maintain code quality.

• Familiarity with cloud-based infrastructure and tools for monitoring and optimizing distributed systems.

• Experience with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
