About cside:
cside is the web security company focused on browser intelligence. We leverage deep browser internals knowledge and AI to detect what otherwise goes unnoticed — or is simply too cumbersome to catch. From identifying malicious JavaScript executions to preventing account takeovers and fraudulent account creations, we are building the next generation of defense against sophisticated web threats.
Our team is a highly specialized group of seasoned browser internals experts and real-time distributed systems engineers. We are building the infrastructure required to process complex signals at scale, turning raw browser data into actionable security intelligence.
Backed by $7.7M in pre-seed and seed funding, cside is already trusted by a diverse range of the world's largest brands. Our technology protects massive universities, global fast-food chains, e-commerce giants, online entertainment platforms, payment providers, SaaS companies, crypto exchanges, and travel networks.
This role is fully remote within the United States. While much of our team works remotely across the globe, we bring everyone together twice a year for offsites in tropical locations.
About the role:
We're looking for a full-stack developer to help build the product surface of cside — the dashboard, APIs, and customer-facing tooling that turn billions of raw browser signals into something a security engineer can act on in seconds. You'll work close to the data and close to the customer, shipping quickly against a genuinely hard technical problem.
What you will do:
Build and ship features across the stack, from API endpoints to the dashboard our customers live in every day
Design and implement APIs that serve high-volume, low-latency security telemetry
Work with our real-time data pipeline to surface detections clearly, without drowning users in noise
Turn complex security signals into interfaces that make the right action obvious
Own features end to end: design, implement, test, ship, measure, iterate
Improve performance and reliability of systems processing signals at scale
Contribute to code review, technical design, and the engineering standards we hold each other to
Partner with product and security research to take detections from prototype to production
About you:
5+ years building production web applications, with real ownership of what you shipped
Strong TypeScript, and comfort on both sides of the stack (React on the front, Node or similar on the back)
Experience with real-time or high-volume data systems, and an instinct for where they break
You care about performance and can explain why something is slow, not just that it is
Comfortable with ambiguity; you scope your own work and ship without waiting to be told
You write clearly — code, review comments, and design docs alike
Genuine interest in web security; you don't need to be an expert, but you should want to become one
Based in the United States and authorized to work here, with at least 4 hours of daily overlap with US Pacific hours
Excited to travel for 2-3 company offsites per year
At cside:
