As a Senior Full Stack Engineer on the Data Insights and Reporting (DIRT) team at Bitwarden, your work will directly impact how enterprise administrators understand the security posture of their organizations.

This role combines deep front-end craft, backend API and data work, and the challenge of building meaningful insights on top of a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted product.
Working within Bitwarden's open-source ecosystem, you'll collaborate with a passionate community dedicated to transparency and trust in security software while contributing to our mission of making security accessible to everyone.
