About the Position
At Contrast, our goal is the make the Internet safer day by day. We work on the exciting and challenging problem of Security Instrumentation within Ruby applications. If you are familiar with applications like New Relic, ScoutApp, AppSignal, Elastic or Skylight, then you likely understand Instrumentation from a performance standpoint. If you understand tools like Brakeman or Hakiri, then you understand static code analysis for Ruby Security. Contrast is similar to both, but we solve the most complicated problem of runtime data flow analysis within your application to make it secure in the most accurate fashion possible.
We are always interested in meeting talented and creative technologists who share this goal. We’ve built some amazing technology thus far and are shaking up the way the world looks at application security. We know that our products can get better with new voices and ideas. Contrast is looking for a talented Ruby application developer to join our team, engineering a world-class instrumentation agent for analyzing the security of Ruby web applications.
