Senior Software Engineer, Go (Remote)

Why runZero?

Fully remote

runZero is a 100% remote company! We don't actually have an office, so we won't ever ask you to "come in 3 days a week". Remote is great but we love team building and get together in person for kick-offs yearly. 

Product-market fit

We're already selling a lot, with hundreds of paying customers from mid-market to very large enterprises and thousands of freemium users. Want to learn about how runZero works and how it helps our customers with their business? Watch this podcast with our co-founder HD Moore (creator of Metasploit)!
