You will work with a professional team with multidisciplinary expertise from companies like Uber, Amazon, and the like. The founder/CEO is a serial tech-entrepreneur. Prior to the current product two companies he founded were acquired by IBM and HP for $200M and $700M, respectively. Our strategic advisors are industry leaders who brings deep expertise in areas including business, personal security, technology, government, law enforcement and social impact.

Product details:
On a daily global basis, we and people we love routinely face situations that are uncomfortable, scary and even risky but that do not initially warrant a 911 emergency call. However, in all those situations the individual still wants attention from a professional and trusted entity. Currently, there is no such entity that offers a programmatic solution that is effective, affordable and accessible by all, and that maintains privacy. In the rare occasions when situations do escalate to a state of emergency, it is typically too late to complete a 911 emergency call, since the assailant is too close, or the individual is incapacitated due to a car crash, or a medical situation. Again, what is lacking is an effective, affordable, highly scalable and privacy-preserving platform that can address the “too early or too late to call 911” personal security gap. 
The platform preventatively, on-demand monitors individuals using a variety of technologies: detects risk, verifies safety, defuses threats, discourages aggressors; orchestrates 911 and even arranges bodyguards as easily and affordably as ordering dinner online. It is professional-grade, and proven - having handled more than 40k cases, including lifesaving situations. 

As a Senior Full-stack Software Engineer you will work in a friendly and fast paced environment, while respecting your work-life balance.

We have an extensive test coverage and a robust CI/CD pipeline.
We encourage (but do not require) developers to implement end to end workflows including client side development on our web based applications. We gather analytics for all features, sending data through our data pipeline to a Snowflake data lake.
