• Collaborate closely with the Data Science and Research teams to integrate predictive models into the detection systems.
• Improve the scalability and performance of our existing detection systems deployed on AWS and GCP.

We are building an international team of people with diverse backgrounds, and equally diverse skill sets. We believe that this has an impact on improving the quality of the important work that we do. The PhishFort team now numbers over 30 people split between anti-phishing operations, engineering, marketing, and legal. We’re big believers in autonomy, which goes hand-in-hand with the fully-remote nature of our business. We believe in providing a stimulating work environment that is both challenging and broad. Growth is possible in just about every direction; we aim to help our team become the best version of ourselves by providing them the freedom to explore and take on challenges that they feel drawn to.
