About your team and your mission
GitGuardian is a tech company, so engineering sits at the heart of everything we do. The department is working on solving challenging problems:
- Scanning various data streams at scale to find secrets in them (scanning >10M code patches, messages or images daily)
- Presenting the incidents in an actionable way in the app: saved views, bulk actions, AI filtering, similar incidents grouping.
- Help our end user to remediate their incidents with: automated playbooks, severity scoring, assignation workflows.
You’ll join the Incidents squad—a team of four engineers within our 50+ strong engineering department—working together to build and ship features that help to manage and close incidents in the app.
Some incidents, if abused, can cause millions of dollars in damage. We deeply believe that providing a smooth and efficient experience to our users is key. Detecting incidents without helping to solve them is just noise! We need a powerful UX and a clean UI to achieve this.
Your daily responsibilities will be to:
- Work on features with your team: you own your delivery, you ship clean code, you review your peers’ code and interact with your team mates.
- You also meet weekly with other frontend and with designers, and you keep some time to work on general frontend tasks.
Technical environment
React + Typescript
Redux + React query
ChakraUI
React testing library
Infrastructure & Deployment: AWS, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Gitlab
Collaboration: Slack, Linear, Notion
We encourage developers to explore the AI stack (devs can choose between using Claude Code and Cursor)
