Founding Engineer - Greenfield Product Development

About Us

We founded New Harbor to bring foundational cybersecurity to organizations of all sizes. Today, we serve customers operating globally through our software platform and expert support. We're advancing this mission by launching a self-service platform that automates the deployment and management of security measures - making it easy for any organization to benefit from the protections proven to stop most attacks without being overwhelmed.

Organizations today face an impossible problem: employees use hundreds of SaaS apps, but enforcing consistent security across them means manually configuring each one. Enterprise SSO only works if you pay premium tiers everywhere.

We're building a platform that lets you approve a rule once - like "enforce multi-factor authentication" - and have it enforced everywhere possible without having to configure every application. We combine API integrations with an AI-assisted browser extension to automate security controls in any application.

We're building towards our public launch. The technical challenges are real: reliably automating security controls across hundreds of different applications, building a rule engine that works across varied APIs and browser interfaces, and doing it all in a way that scales. If you're excited about building something from the ground up that solves a problem security teams actually have, we'd love to talk.

What We Offer

• Impact from day one: Your work directly shapes the product organizations depend on for security
• Ownership: Significant influence on both technical and product direction
• Equity and upside: As one of our earliest hires, you’ll share meaningfully in the value you help create
• Breadth of experience: From technical challenges to product strategy, you’ll wear many hats
• Mission-driven work: Protect nonprofits and small businesses alongside large multinational organizations
  
  

Role: Engineer II

This is an opportunity to join New Harbor at an early stage. As a founding engineer, you’ll not only shape the product but also have a hand in shaping our company. We're a remotely distributed team that loves working with each other every day. If you're looking for occasional in-person collaboration, we have team members in NYC, DC, SF, Bay Area, and Las Vegas.

This role centers around rapidly building and shipping products to users.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship products to users and then iterate based on their feedback
• Lead development of major product areas and drive them from concept to completion
• Solve complex technical challenges with team members that enable the product to scale across inconsistent interfaces of third-party apps
• Contribute to architectural decisions that will define how the product works
• Take on outsized ownership and grow with the company as it scales
• Contribute to engineering practices appropriate for our stage and scale
• Work with product design to ensure powerful yet intuitive user experiences
• Collaborate closely with founders on roadmap, culture, and long-term engineering practices
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of software engineering experience, ideally on small teams where you owned meaningful features
• Experience building greenfield features or projects from scratch - you've made the tradeoffs between perfect and shipped
• Strong fundamentals in code quality, testing, and development practices
• Comfort working across the stack and learning new tools as needed
• Experience with modern web technologies (our stack: Nuxt, Cloudflare, OpenAI, Supabase, browser extensions)
• Excited to step into the 0-to-1 phase of a startup, with resilience to navigate uncertainty and ambiguity
