Technical Support Engineer

We’re expanding our Mend.io Technical Support team and are seeking a passionate Technical Support Engineer eager to dive into the dynamic world of security and compliance. This role focuses on both open-source and closed-source software, with an emphasis on Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST).

The ideal candidate is naturally curious, possesses excellent communication and time management skills, and has a solid ability to quickly grasp and apply the latest technologies used in modern Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) practices. If you’re excited by the challenge of understanding how software security vulnerabilities are identified, reported, and remediated, and you’re keen to gain hands-on experience with a wide array of cutting-edge tools—including software package managers, source code management (SCM) systems, CI/CD pipelines, containers, orchestration tools, and more—this is the perfect opportunity for you!
