Everyone has a right to keep their digital content private and secure. Virtru was founded with the belief that exercising that right should be easy and convenient. Virtru allows you to send end-to-end encrypted email using your existing email address and existing email provider with the flip of a switch.
We have browser extensions for Chrome/Firefox, apps for iPhone and Android, and a plugin for Outlook desktop.
Our full time team of ~30 is currently 50% engineers and with ~50% of the team working remotely across the US. We value automated testing, readable/maintainable code, documentation, and code reviews. We run in 2 week sprints and dedicate about 20% of total capacity to things the dev team thinks are important (technical debt, refactoring, exploring a new technology, etc), while the rest goes to feature development and addressing bugs.
== Current positions ==
1) Full stack NodeJS/Javascript developer (full details http://stackoverflow.com/jobs/99104/full-stack-javascript-developer-virtru http://stackoverflow.com/jobs/99104/full-stack-javascript-de...)
2) DevOps (I don't believe we have the a job post up yet for this, but they currently use (in no order): - AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, CloudFront, SQS, SNS, Lambda, CloudWatch, etc) - PagerDuty - Terraform - Ansible - Python - NodeJS - New Relic - DataDog - ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana)

If you care about privacy and are interested in creating security products at a company which thinks that user experience is a first class citizen, please get in touch! Send an email to jobs@virtru.com with subject “HN who is hiring response” and tell us what interests you about Virtru. It would be great if you can provide some sample code that we can check out (github, bitbucket, etc).
- Akkuma 10y ago== Real Talk == I'm posting this on behalf of my company and wanted to personalize why you might want to check us out as I think copy/paste non-personalized job ads on HN are boring and don't deserve a place here. I started back with Virtru as a Senior Software Engineer in July of 2015 and work remotely. I have never once felt left out because I am remote. This is my first remote job and I cannot see how anyone would ever want to work any other way now. We currently use Slack, Google Hangouts, and Screenhero, so you won't be cut off to fend for yourself in the wild. Most of the developers are on the east coast, but we have a few people on the west coast & central. One of the more interesting things about Virtru is that a lot of work is around browser extensions, which is fairly atypical for software products, so you'll get to learn something new. So what's working there like for a remote person? We have a stand up for the feature team at 10AM EST, and one for our DevOps. After that your day is usually in your court outside of the regular sprint end/begin activities (retro, review, planning). If you like going heads down with no/minimal distractions you can often achieve that. You won't be micromanaged to get your work done and getting your work done is the most important measure. You'll get the freedom to experience what it is to worry about only your work and not if you're showing your face for enough hours. If that means you bust ass 3 days a week and keep yourself available for the other two for stand up, possible reviews and questions, and maybe a meeting no one should care. Rather than write a novel, if you have any questions please contact me via running this JS snippet to get my info: [103, 114, 101, 103, 43, 104, 110, 64, 118, 105, 114, 116, 114, 117, 46, 99, 111, 109].map(x => String.fromCharCode(x)).join('')
- xophishox 10y agoI applied via the contact email and specified the DevOps position. Is there anything else you guys would like me to do as a Ops person to better evaluate my abilities as a person and expedite the process. This company sounds like a great fit for me.
