Develop the auditor-facing tools used to conduct remote and on-site assessments, score compliance criteria, and generate certification reports.
Build the public certification registry — a searchable, verifiable database of all Clause5afe certifications.
Implement security infrastructure appropriate for a company handling sensitive enterprise governance data: encryption, access controls, audit logging, and compliance with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 standards.
Establish CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, and development workflows that scale as the team grows.
Collaborate with the CCO and Director of Certification Operations to translate certification methodology into technical requirements.

Proven experience building SaaS or enterprise platforms, preferably in compliance, audit, GRC, or security domains.
Strong proficiency in Python or Node.js (backend), React or Vue (frontend), and PostgreSQL or equivalent.
Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code.
Deep understanding of application security, data encryption, and secure development practices.
Experience as a technical lead, including code review, architecture decisions, and mentoring junior engineers.
