About the role

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join Coalition’s Scanning Engine and Data Collection team. Our team provides critical data to help guide the underwriting of Cyber Insurance policies. Therefore, you will be working on and creating distributed (cloud) systems to achieve this goal.
