Our Detection and Response R&D group builds technologies for endpoint detection and continuous response against the most advanced cyber-attacks out there.

The Portals team works with our technical product managers, and alongside Backends, Sensors, and Response teams to deliver front-end for our detection and response platform.

Our team is distributed across two different locations - United Kingdom and Poland. Being a distributed team means a lot of flexibility, autonomy, and trust.

We put additional effort in ensuring we communicate well and truly operate like a team.
