What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineering Lead position at EchoMark?
About Us
In today’s connected world, sharing private information is the lifeblood of any organization. However, the challenge of keeping sensitive data secure has only grown, leading to regular leaks—even within top-tier organizations. This breakdown of trust disrupts communication and causes significant harm to people and businesses.
EchoMark offers a game-changing solution: we embed invisible, forensic markings in documents, personalized for each recipient. These markings don't disrupt information flow but allow leaks to be traced back to their source. The presence of EchoMark fosters trust, accountability, and better stewardship of private information.
We believe the future of information sharing lies in individualizing private data for each recipient, ensuring it stays secure while enabling teams to work effectively.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a dynamic, energetic, and entrepreneurial Engineering Lead to take ownership of EchoMark’s multitenant SaaS application. As our first engineering manager, you’ll work closely with the Head of Engineering and founding engineering team to continue scaling the engineering organization, drive the product forward, maintain operational excellence, and execute at the highest level. This role requires close collaboration across the company, especially with our product lead and engineering team, to build and launch great products.
