Senior Full Stack Engineer

About the role

About Virtru:

While the rest of the security industry obsesses over locking data down to prevent it from being lost or stolen, we're doing something fundamentally different at Virtru. We're setting data free so that you can intentionally share it with others, but without sacrificing security, privacy, or control.

We've created both a suite of powerful data protection applications and an open platform that's sparking an ecosystem of innovation. Through the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, we're not just protecting data; we're creating a new paradigm where security enables sharing rather than preventing it.

Think of us as the Android of data protection: a robust platform with an open core that developers and partners can build upon, coupled with our own best-in-class applications that showcase what's possible when you reimagine security from the ground up.

Backed by Iconiq Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Capital, and Tiger Global, we're helping Fortune 500 companies and government agencies discover that true data security means having the freedom to share, collaborate, and innovate — without compromise.

Compensation: $150,000 - $170,000/year

Team & Position Details:

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will be an integral part of our engineering team that builds and maintains Virtru's suite of digital privacy products — tools that more than 6,000 organizations rely on to protect and control sensitive data wherever it lives, moves, or is shared. This role is critical to the team because we need a seasoned, full-stack engineer who can own complex problems end-to-end, from writing elegant production-quality code to keeping our platform running reliably at scale. The impact this team makes is real and meaningful: every line of code contributes directly to protecting people's data and advancing a future where privacy is the default, not the exception.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, your responsibilities will include:

Core Responsibilities:

- Write and ship elegant, production-quality JavaScript across both the front and backend of Virtru's digital privacy products using frameworks and toolchains such as React

- Develop and contribute to backend services and APIs using Go (Golang), building performant and scalable components that power Virtru's core data protection platform

- Deploy and operate a highly available, scalable Enterprise SaaS application on AWS in a DevOps environment, ensuring the platform is up and running smoothly 24/7

- Take full ownership of the entire application lifecycle — from code and automated testing (unit, integration, Selenium, canaries) to deployment and production operations including on-call rotations via PagerDuty

Additional Responsibilities:

- Demonstrate strong, working knowledge of software design patterns and apply them thoughtfully to solve complex engineering problems

- Collaborate across a fast-paced environment, touching multiple projects and products simultaneously
