Labs Software Engineer

Join to apply for the Virtru Labs Software Engineer role at 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 ’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.

Backed by prominent investors, 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.
