Kolide's Mission

We help organizations practice Honest Security

Building software that secures and manages digital assets

While demonstrating empathy, respect, and care for what is most important – people

Empowering them to do the best work of their lives.

Background

Kolide is a VC-backed remote-first startup building device management and security software for fast-growing companies that value Honest Security. With over 500 customers and a novel approach to solving security and compliance concerns, Kolide is poised to grow quickly over the next few years.

In fact, our product and engineering team has cracked one of the toughest problems in the security world: getting end-users to fix the highest risk and most nuanced security problems on their devices. We have a new device trust product that seamlessly integrates with Okta, enabling security teams to easily protect their assets. Kolide is already making an impact on Windows, macOS and Linux devices, and we are in the beginning stages of building our first mobile app to complement Kolide Launcher.

That’s where you come in.

Given this is a new role, you will have the opportunity to have a big impact on the creation and design of the app. While you’ll be working independently, you’ll never be alone and without help.
