Full Job Description
About Virtru: While the rest of the security industry obsesses over locking data down to prevent it from being lost or stolen, we're doing something fundamentally different at Virtru. We're setting data free so that you can intentionally share it with others, but without sacrificing security, privacy, or control. We've created both a suite of powerful data protection applications and an open platform that's sparking an ecosystem of innovation. Through the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, we're not just protecting data; we're creating a new paradigm where security enables sharing rather than preventing it. Think of us as the Android of data protection: a robust platform with an open core that developers and partners can build upon, coupled with our own best-in-class applications that showcase what's possible when you reimagine security from the ground up. Backed by Iconiq Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Capital, and Tiger Global, we're helping Fortune 500 companies and government agencies discover that true data security means having the freedom to share, collaborate, and innovate — without compromise. Compensation Range: $190,000 - 240,000 Base As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Virtru, you will play a pivotal role in driving continuous improvements in observability, performance, and reliability across our platform infrastructure. Your mission will be to enhance the operational excellence of our systems, making a significant impact on data privacy and security initiatives within the federal government sector. Key Responsibilities: Monitor platform and containerized applications to ensure optimal performance and availability. Identify and mitigate performance and availability risks and issues in real-time. Contribute to the development and optimization of core platform functions to establish a robust infrastructure. Collaborate closely with internal teams and government clients on a daily basis. Requirements: Active U. S. TS/SCI Clearance req
