Why You Will Love Working At Veridify
We’re a remote-first company with team members located across the United States spanning multiple time zones. We build cutting edge cybersecurity products for building automation and industrial IoT. We believe personal connection is the foundation for the great work we do together. In order to build our relationships, we meet with coworkers in person at least once a year at a full company meeting. These are great opportunities to meet the people you work with every day and to do some of the work that is much more difficult to do virtually. Though most of our roles are fully remote, the majority of our leadership positions require limited amounts of travel for in-person meetings throughout the year, primarily to our headquarters in Shelton, CT.
We care about our work but know that we all care about things outside of work, too. Sometimes this looks like being flexible with our time to log on to a critical meeting and other times, it’s our team being flexible for us to attend to life outside of Veridify. We work at a sustainable pace, and trust you to estimate and deliver on your goals.
We offer competitive pay and meaningful opportunities for career advancement. Our benefits to full-time employees include paid time off and holidays, health insurance, and a 401k retirement plan.
If your experience is close to what we’re looking for, please consider applying. Experience comes in many forms – skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. We know that diversity makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking, which is why we’re dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team and encourage everyone to apply.
Veridify is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
