About SecureFlow
SecureFlow (secureflow.tech) 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
- Screen call with the founder (30 min)
- Live pairing exercise (60 min, free) — we'll work on a small problem together, you'll talk through your thinking
- Technical conversation (45 min) — discuss what you've built, what you'd improve about it, and how you learn
- Values + ways of working interview (45 min)
- Founder interview (45 min)
- Reference checks (2 references — manager, professor, mentor, or peer all work)
- 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
