Kodex
Easiest way for companies to process data requests from governments
Full Stack Software Engineer
About the role
The company
Kodex builds software to help private companies respond to lawful data requests from governments. Our founders have seen firsthand how difficult it is for the public and private sectors to work together to prevent real-world harm while respecting user privacy. Ad-hoc processes and impromptu tooling lead to slow response times and overproductions, and risk exploitation by bad actors. Kodex was founded to solve these problems.
The platform
Kodex provides a case management solution for Law Enforcement Response and Trust and Safety teams that enables them to manage workflows, communication, and secure file transfers with law enforcement and government agencies. Our platform offers end-to-end encryption, full audit trails, submission portal with requestor verification, transparency reporting, and API integrations for a complete legal response solution. We enable companies to manage and respond to millions of data requests securely and on time.
The role
This is a full-time remote role for a software engineer. We all have the job title Software Engineer, but we're hiring for the levels E4, E5 (senior), and E6 (staff).
If you already have experience with legal compliance, trust and safety, or law enforcement response teams, that's great! If not, you should be ready to drink from the firehose.
Skills
- Our preference is full-stack generalists, but you should be at least familiar with most of these technologies:
- Front end: TypeScript, React, GraphQL, Next
- Back end: TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, AWS (RDS, EC2, Lambda, Nitro Enclaves)
- Tooling: Github, Graphite, Datadog, Sentry, LogRocket, Swagger, Slack, OAuth
Specialties
- We're also interested in specialists if any of the following apply to you:
- SecDevOps experience
- Threat intelligence experience
- Deep knowledge of React modernization
- Active security clearance, or previous security clearance and still eligible
Our engineering values
- We maintain a product/mission focus while not neglecting engineering excellence. It's not always easy — but if it were easy, everyone could do it.
- We know that better results come from having the humility to disagree and commit, and to keep learning and growing, from our customers, the industry, and one another.
- We hold ourselves and one another accountable for meeting our high standards. We solicit, give, and receive high-quality feedback.
Benefits
- We're fully remote; no RTO here, and no location adjustments. We meet offsite about twice a year, keeping it fresh with different destinations (recently Miami, Seattle, and Nashville).
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Unlimited PTO (and not the passive-aggressive kind)
- Medical, dental, vision, 401(k)
About Kodex
Kodex makes it easy for companies to process, and respond to, subpoenas from governments around the world. Agencies, like the FBI, subpoena user data from customers like crypto exchanges, tech companies, banks, and thousands of other companies - without Kodex companies largely rely on email, and spreadsheets to manage them. Built by former FBI, and technology sector fraud experts, we have seen first hand how multi-billion dollar companies struggle to comply with these legal orders.
Since our public launch in May, we have already helped numerous multi-billion dollar companies with hundreds of cases ranging from terrorist financing to child exploitation. Come join our mission to make the internet a safer place by building software that helps companies investigate and combat abuse on their platforms.
