Full Stack Engineer (React & Ruby on Rails) - Remote

At Right-Hand, our mission is to make humans more defensible against cyber threats. In today’s dynamic and ever-evolving threat landscape, cyber attackers possess advanced capabilities to evade traditional technological security layers (like an email security platform or a firewall). This forces a company’s employees to serve as the last line of defense. However, with roughly 90% of cyber attacks occurring due to human error, it is evident that most employees are not prepared for these scenarios. Right-Hand is uniquely positioned to help organizations address this massive issue and reduce human-influenced cyber risk.

The daily fulfillment of this mission would not be possible without the cornerstone of Right-Hand’s business - its people. We firmly believe if we take care of our employees, they will take care of our customers, and the rest will work itself out. The founding team at Right-Hand has created a culture that is truly transparent, motivating, and fast-paced to attract and retain the top talent in the industry.
