Tessian protects every business’s mission by securing the human layer 💫

We're building intelligent security that works for human beings as they are , not how security policies would like them to be. Using machine learning technology, Tessian automatically predicts and eliminates advanced threats on email caused by human error - like data exfiltration, accidental data loss, business email compromise and phishing attacks - with minimal disruption to employees' workflow. As a result, employees are empowered to do their best work, without security getting in their way. You can read more about Human Layer Security here .

Tessian has raised a $74m Series C led by renowned security investors, March Capital (Crowdstrike, Knowbe4), with follow-on from Sequoia, Accel, Balderton, Latitude, Okta, Sozo, Citi & Schroder Adveq, to further our mission to secure the human layer.

Founded in 2013, Tessian is backed by world-class venture capital investors, has hubs in London, San Francisco, Boston, and Austin, and London, and is one of the Top-3 2021 Best Places to Work for Women .

At Tessian, our mission is to keep the world’s most sensitive data and systems private and secure. Our platform uses machine intelligence to understand human communication at scale, allowing us to protect some of the world’s largest organisations from threats executable by humans. From a Frontend perspective, we have two main challenges at Tessian: concisely communicating security insights from millions of data points back to our clients through analytics and dashboards, and ensuring all our users find our portal easy to use, despite its industry-leading level of sophistication and flexibility.

We are building a Design System and component library using a modern stack consisting of  TypeScript, React, Emotion and Styled System. As a Frontend Engineer, you will play an integral part helping us to finish the migration and achieve consistency, great user experience and great developer experience.

We use mainly TypeScript and React, so, preferably, you should be comfortable with those, but that is not an absolute requirement if you have experience with JavaScript and another Frontend framework. If you're also able to use a little Python to plug our frontend into our backend that's a plus! You'll have 3+ years of experience working in frontend development and be able to work to a high technical standard. More junior than this?
