**About PhishFort**

PhishFort is a fast-growing international startup deeply involved in global anti-phishing efforts. We are on a mission to build the most sophisticated and customer-friendly anti-phishing and brand-protection systems in the world, with a focus on industry-specific attacks and unique countermeasures. Since its inception, PhishFort has been continually growing partnerships with leading threat-intelligence, cybersecurity, and technology companies. Once such partnership is a collaboration with Coinbase, in the scope of which a browser extension called NightHawk is being developed.

**About the role**

PhishFort is looking to find a talented full-stack developer to take on the continued development of the NightHawk project. The main NightHawk product is a browser plugin that helps its users stay safe against phishing attacks. 

While working on the NightHawk project at PhishFort, some of the things you may possibly do include:

- Expanding existing APIs to add additional functionality.
- Implementing user-facing front-ends as both plain web pages and browser plugin views.
- Building and updating user interfaces according to a design specification.
- Set up additional authentication methods full-stack, from front-end to DB.
- Review existing code for privacy policy compliance and potential security risks.
- Optimising the performance footprint of the plugin for a specific browser.
- Integrating NightHawk functionality with internal PhishFort infrastructure (or with miscellaneous third-party APIs).

**Requirements**

- Degree in computer science or engineering (good academic performance will be advantageous). Demonstrably-equivalent work experience may be considered.
- Prior experience with the development of browser plugins.
- Excellent verbal and written English proficiency.
- Excellent problem-solving skills.
- Ability and willingness to learn (technology is constantly evolving, and so should we).
- An attitude of ownership and pride in your work.
- Attention to detail (quality of code over quantity of tickets).
- The ability to find solutions in collaborative consultation with business, engineering, and relevant stakeholders.
- Solid understanding of basic web principles and technologies, including HTML & CSS, HTTP requests, caching, DNS, CORS, etc.
- Experience with Javascript. Proficiency in Typescript will be advantageous, as well as having worked with Node.js. Experience with other high-level languages will be a further advantage, even if not directly relevant.
- Some experience with front-end Javascript frameworks. Experience with React or Angular will be advantageous.
- An understanding of popular cloud services. Experience with Firebase (or other GCP services) or AWS will be advantageous.
- Experience in the fields of cybersecurity, threat intelligence, and cryptocurrency will be a small advantage.
