Remote Senior Frontend Engineer

About Elba

Elba joined eFounders to build a cutting-edge product in the cybersecurity space. Together, we want to empower employees so they can better protect themselves and their companies in the face of cyber threats. We are fully reinventing the way SMBs manage cybersecurity.

At Elba our mission is to empower employees against cyber threats.

Cyber threats have exploded in the post-pandemic context. SMBs have become a target of choice for hackers. They are not well-prepared to face cyber risks, they are increasingly remote, and as a result more vulnerable and are an entry point to enterprises. Attacks against SMBs have exploded by 600% in the last 8 months

The human factor is by far the weakest point in the security chain. 80% of successful cyber-attacks involve social engineering and human error. This is an ever-growing problem globally

What if there were a tool that could provide employees with continuous education around cybersecurity as soon as their first day at work? What if this tool could be enriched with security apps, effectively assisting them in spotting malicious practices?

Cybersecurity is hard, we want to make it easy and let companies and their employees focus on what they do best. Let’s tackle this tough problem together and reinvent how we think about cybersecurity at work.

About the role

As one of the first Software Engineers at Elba you’ll lead the design, development, and operations of our products. We’re a small and autonomous team, so, you’ll end up wearing many hats and having a meaningful impact.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll comfortably go up and down the stack; from writing backend and frontend code, to running AWS infrastructure, to implementing whatever necessary tool or process we don’t yet have.

It doesn’t matter what languages and tools you know when you join us, but it does matter that you can write clean, effective code and be excited by learning new languages and tools. Our software is constantly evolving, so we need engineers who can do the same.

Current Tech Stack
