About Blumira and Our Culture
By making detection and response rapid, simple, and affordable, we can help organizations of all sizes - especially small and medium-sized businesses - which have been neglected, priced-out, or, simply—failed—by existing solutions. In helping them, we help their customers, and, overall, make the Internet a safer place. We have a platform, a vision, and a team that can turn the tide. To realize our vision, we're looking for inquisitive and driven teammates, like you! Be part of a friendly and supportive team that embraces who you are and offers you the opportunity to help build and scale the Ann Arbor tech security scene and to learn and grow with experienced SaaS security leaders. You will have the ability to make a big impact in the initial build of Blumira’s Engineering organization and take Blumira to the next level!
About the Opportunity
As a Sr. Engineer at Blumira, you will apply your experience to author and improve new and existing software for our SaaS security product.

At Blumira, we solve problems quickly to support our customers; you’ll balance a desire for correct, clean, and performant systems with the need to adapt quickly.
