Junior Software Engineer

Who Are We?

We are Savvy, and we’re on a mission to address one of the biggest unsolved problems that remain in cybersecurity: the human element. The human workforce is involved in an estimated 82% of cybersecurity incidents, yet there is a lack of effective real-time visibility and control to prevent these incidents from occurring. At Savvy, we firmly believe that this must change to make meaningful improvements in security and drive down cyber risk. We are founded by an experienced team of top security veterans. Our platform represents a new security paradigm, coupling human cognitive science, advanced machine learning, and powerful automation.

This combination allows security experts to interact with users during critical moments of decision, massively scaling their expertise to produce better security outcomes while also empowering the workforce with the flexibility to innovate.

We're looking for the best to join our team for this exciting journey.
