Software Engineering, Other Engineering
United States · Canada · Mexico
Posted on Aug 9, 2024
The company
Kodex builds software to help private companies respond to lawful data requests from governments. Our founders have seen firsthand how difficult it is for the public and private sectors to work together to prevent real-world harm while respecting user privacy. Ad-hoc processes and impromptu tooling lead to slow response times and overproductions, and risk exploitation by bad actors. Kodex was founded to solve these problems.
The platform
Kodex provides a case management solution for Law Enforcement Response and Trust and Safety teams that enables them to manage workflows, communication, and secure file transfers with law enforcement and government agencies. Our platform offers end-to-end encryption, full audit trails, submission portal with requestor verification, transparency reporting, and API integrations for a complete legal response solution. We enable companies to manage and respond to millions of data requests securely and on time.
The role
This is a full-time remote role for a software engineer. We all have the job title Senior Infrastructure Engineer, but we're hiring for the levels E5 (senior), and E6 (staff).
If you already have experience with legal compliance, trust and safety, or law enforcement response teams, that's great! If not, you should be ready to drink from the firehose.
