About The Position

We are seeking a Software Engineer I, Full Stack to join our product development team working on Incydr, our Insider Risk Management product. In this role, you will work as a full stack engineer with an emphasis on the front end of the Incydr web application, building features that help security teams protect corporate data and reduce insider risk. You will implement user interfaces in React and TypeScript, while also contributing to the backend services and APIs — built primarily in Kotlin and Java and hosted on AWS — that power those experiences. You will consume and help design APIs, maintain a consistent, high-quality user experience, and collaborate with User Experience, Product Management, Information Experience, and other development teams to provide features that bring value to our customers and help them secure their collaboration culture. Mimecast is an AI-first engineering organization. Our teams actively leverage AI-powered development tools across all facets of engineering, from code development to testing, documentation, and operations. We're looking for engineers who don't just use AI tools but champion their adoption and establish new ways of working.

• Experience translating designs/mockups into functional, responsive user interfaces.
• Experience with frontend testing frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, or similar).
• Familiarity with REST APIs and integrating client-side applications with backend services; experience building or maintaining those APIs is a plus.
