## About SecureFlow

SecureFlow is the AI vendor security questionnaire platform that helps B2B SaaS companies answer SIG, CAIQ, and custom questionnaires in hours instead of weeks. We are an early-stage team building a multi-million dollar ARR business — and we are looking for an early-career engineer to grow with us.

This is the job for someone who has built things on their own (school projects, personal projects, internships, bootcamp capstones, open-source contributions) and is ready to write production code that real customers depend on.

## What you'll do

- **Build product features** end-to-end with mentorship from the senior engineer

- **Fix bugs** and improve test coverage across the codebase

- **Pair with senior engineers** on harder problems — you'll learn fast

- **Write tests** that catch regressions before customers do

- **Review code** as your skills grow (we expect every engineer to participate in PR review)

- **Help with product polish** — copy fixes, small UI improvements, error handling

## What you'll bring

**Required:**

- 0–2 years of professional software engineering experience (internships count; bootcamp graduates encouraged)

- Working knowledge of JavaScript / TypeScript and at least one modern web framework (React, Vue, Svelte, or similar)

- Comfortable using git, GitHub, and command-line tools

- Evidence you can ship something — a portfolio project, open-source contribution, or substantial bootcamp project we can review

- Strong written communication — you can explain what you built and why

- Genuine curiosity and willingness to learn what you don't know

**Nice to have:**

- Computer science degree, bootcamp, or self-taught with verifiable output

- Any experience with AI / LLM APIs (even side projects)

- Familiarity with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, or Prisma

- Open-source contributions

- Prior internship at a startup or product company

We do not require a CS degree. We do require evidence that you can build software that works, and a clear track record of learning quickly.

## Our stack

- **Frontend:** Next.js 15 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

- **Backend:** Next.js API routes, Prisma ORM, SQLite (Postgres soon)

- **AI:** OpenAI (GPT-4o, embeddings), custom RAG pipeline

- **Infrastructure:** Hostinger VPS, PM2, Nginx

- **Tooling:** GitHub, Cursor, ESLint, Prettier

## Interview process

1. **Screen call** with the founder (30 min)

2. **Live pairing exercise** (60 min, free) — we'll work on a small problem together, you'll talk through your thinking

3. **Technical conversation** (45 min) — discuss what you've built, what you'd improve about it, and how you learn

4. **Values + ways of working** interview (45 min)

5. **Founder interview** (45 min)

6. **Reference checks** (2 references — manager, professor, mentor, or peer all work)

7. **Offer**

Total target: 14 business days from first contact to offer.

## Compensation

- **Base salary:** $80k–$110k depending on experience and location

- **Equity:** 0.1%–0.3% of fully diluted shares, 4-year vest with 1-year cliff

- **Benefits:** Health/dental/vision, $1,500 home office stipend, $1,500 annual learning budget, Macbook Pro, unlimited PTO
