Developer

We are so excited you are here! We are RedWolf Security; a provider of the most comprehensive, safe and feature rich threat simulation platform available for enterprise.

Our mission is to help organizations test and improve their cyber security resiliency in a thorough and reliable way.

While we love the security tech world, our passion is to provide the best solutions possible for our clients and keep them safe and happy.

We are a hybrid team, with in office 3 days a week and work from home available 2 days a week. We stay connected through our weekly connection points and use our project management software (Jira). We get into the office throughout the week because we find that sometimes it stimulates some great problem solving and group cohesion.  Always available to each other, we work together through issues as they arise ensuring that the end result is a clear, well-informed recommendation/presentation of data for our clients. We love to follow a good procedure structure and tick all the boxes along the way in a project. We try to avoid ‘MacGyvering’ solutions and work towards structural and procedural progress to help the whole team and our clients find success.  We don’t just work for our clients, we are invested in their needs and results.

Now the exciting part – we have some exciting growth and changes coming.

We’re looking for a Developer with a love for getting it done the right way. This individual starts the process with planning and doesn’t move on to the code until the plan is fleshed out and that plan specifically solves the problem for our clients. This role will report directly to the Chief Architect but will support the overall organization’s goals along with the whole team. This role will need someone who can voice what they need so that we can support their success.

With the exciting change of transforming into a more scalable “SAAS” model, we would love to talk to anyone who has been through, or has an interest in being a fundamental part of this change.
