Senior Fullstack Engineer

Cobalt was founded on the belief that pentesting can be better. Our pentests start in as little as 24 hours and integrate with modern development cycles thanks to the powerful combination of a SaaS platform coupled with an exclusive community of testers known as the Cobalt Core. Accepting just 5% of applicants, the Core boasts over 400 closely vetted and highly skilled testers who jointly conduct thousands of tests each year. 

Our award-winning, fully remote team is committed to helping agile businesses remediate risk quickly and innovate securely. Today, over 1,000 customers use Cobalt to run pentests on demand via Pentest as a Service, AKA PtaaS, a space which Cobalt pioneered (you could even say we wrote the book on it) and continues to lead. 

All organizations need security testing for their software and we are building the world’s largest and smartest pentest management platform to help solve this challenge at scale. 

Our mission in the Growth Experience Team is to attract, acquire and activate new customers to the Cobalt service. Our team is composed of a core of Engineers, Product Manager and Product Designer while we have Data-, Marketing- and Sales-members just a Slack message away. We believe that the best outcomes originate from a team where everyone has a deep understanding of the problem, thus our engineers not only develop code but also collaborate in ideation, data analysis and hypothesis definition. This enables us to implement experiments at a high pace.
