About the Company - At Filescience , we’re solving one of the most deceptively simple yet technically complex problems in cloud systems: cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery.

On the surface, it sounds straightforward. In reality, building a massively distributed system that moves data across platforms quickly, securely, and efficiently is an engineering challenge that never stops evolving.

• Solve complex problems in performance, security, and scalability.
• Work directly with leadership and have a real voice in technical and product decisions.
• Learn new technologies—if you have web dev experience, great; if not, we’ll support you in picking it up.
