The talented candidate will join our growing DevOps team, interacting closely with the product engineering, customer success and sales teams. Key focuses are the build and release management of our software, delivering successful implementations of our solutions for our customers (who are predominantly US defense and intelligence organisations), ensuring they can integrate and host our products within their own high-security environments. This will require the individual to be eligible to obtain Secret and Top-Secret US security clearances. The candidate will also be supporting the high availability of our cloud-hosted platforms.
Given the nature of this role, candidates with strong software development and automation skills are required. Along with talents for cloud infrastructure, communication, collaboration and stakeholder management.
About Us:
We didn’t start out as a traditional security product. In the beginning, Glasswall was one of only two file sanitization filters in the US Intelligence Community’s highly classified networks. We are rated #1 by the National Security Agency. We designed Glasswall CDR to protect businesses against the most advanced file-based threats. Today, we’re trusted by commercial and government organisations around the world.
Inclusion:
At Glasswall we believe that diversity of people and thought are central to our purpose. We are committed to making Glasswall a company that is attractive to people of many different backgrounds. This includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are under-represented in our workforce.
One of our corporate objectives is to ensure that the organisational health of the firm is highly rated by our employees. We believe that this is only possible if we promote a culture of inclusion and respect across out business. Each quarter we survey employees on a range of questions relating to our organisational health. This holds a mirror-up to a business and ensures that we can focus on where we need to do better.
We have an Organisational Health Committee, which is chaired by a non-executive position. The panel has been formed to guide the leadership in taking positive action that supports a good work-life balance, family friendly relations and to be inviting to a diverse range of potential employees.
We also have a Women in Technology Group which has been formed to promote balance in the way that we communicate with, promote, encourage, and support people across our business.
