The Role

The Cloud Email Security platform helps enterprises defend against email attacks, protect against data loss, and respond to security incidents more efficiently. Using machine learning technology, the platform automatically predicts and eliminates advanced threats on email caused by human error, such as data exfiltration, accidental data loss, business email compromise, and phishing attacks . We do this with minimal disruption to employees’ workflow. As a result, employees are empowered to do their best work, without security getting in their way.

We are on a mission to improve the quality of our software to improve the overall user experience and satisfaction by providing top notch quality software that ideally never presents significant disrupting BAU bugs.

Therefore, we are seeking a skilled and experienced Quality Assurance Software Engineer to join our growing team. The Quality Assurance Software Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, and executing software tests to ensure that our products meet customer and business requirements.
