Careers

We need the Internet. But the Internet and telecommunications networks are insecure and NOT PRIVATE. Because of this:

  • No device, data or digital asset of value is safe from criminals and hackers

  • Authoritarian governments and hostile state actors around the world can spy upon and sabotage companies and organizations, infrastructure and individuals with unprecedented ease and efficiency

  • Defending against this threat matrix has become too complex and costly for average users and SMBs, so they just give up

    • Faction is dedicated to changing this by enabling any individual or organization to secure their networking, data and devices easily in a totally decentralized, encrypted private Faction Network visible, accessible and controlled only by you.

    This is a ground floor opportunity to be a part of addressing one of the biggest problems out there, which impacts EVERY user of the Internet. Faction’s platform and product model is super scalable, with the opportunity for viral adoption and growth.   This is an early stage company:   compensation will be a mix of cash and incentive stock options.  All hires will initially be a contractor engagements, but we are looking for individuals that want to stay to build a lasting and significant company.

    Hiring Now:  Engineering Team

    We are looking for a few key engineers with right skills and experience and a passion for taking on big challenges to join our team, who will report to and collaborate directly with Dave Rand, our Co-Founder, CEO & CTO.

  • Technical Architect & Lead Engineer

    We are seeking a Technical Architect & Lead Engineer with a deep background and skill set in cryptography, cybersecurity, encryption and networking technologies (VPN and ZTNA).  The ideal candidate will have a comprehensive understanding of these areas with full stack and front end experience, and a passion for ensuring the security and privacy of digital systems.  Experience and interest in decentralized technologies and Web 3.0 excluding blockchain would be considered a significant advantage.  While Faction Networks have some characteristics in common with Blockchain architectures and we envision complementary uses of such technology in the future, this is not a blockchain nor cryptocurrency company.

    The right candidate would also be eligible for VP or Director of Engineering role - but the desire and ability to dive deep into the code and execution of development is a requirement.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Work closely with our CEO & CTO on the optimization and extension of Faction's architecture and platform, including all HLD designs & specifications. 
    • Own all LLD design and specifications of application and platform software, as well as leading and driving the implementation of this with the team.  
    • Develop and maintain secure back-end systems using advanced cryptographic techniques to safeguard networking, device and data privacy, secure and integrity.   
    • Extend and optimize our solutions to ensure secure, private networking that is visible and accessible only to the Faction Network owner and its participants. 
    • Collaborate with the product team to deliver specified features with outstanding UI and UX. We welcome inputs and ideas from all team members - but most especially our engineers.
    • Adhere to and lead the team in Agile best practices to ensure the efficient and timely delivery of releases according the the product roadmap.
    • Stay updated on emerging trends in technologies and innovations relevant to our products, platform and solutions.

    More About Dave Rand

    After spending years observing, studying, testing and thinking, Dave focused on three core problems that drive the lack of privacy and security we all experience today.

    Centralized Control

  • When the Internet was first designed and formed over three decades ago, it was intended to provide a way to connect computers to other computers - to be decentralized. Between then and now, it became massively centralized, yet very little has changed in the basic security architecture of how devices connect and who controls that.

    • Networks and Connections are Visible and Vulnerable

  • With Internet Protocol, network addresses and traffic are visible, and connections are insecure by default.

    • Data is Vulnerable

  • Data has become the lifeblood of every digital application - and our entire lives both on and offline.    And yet it mostly lies around unencrypted on both endpoint devices and cloud servers, vulnerable to loss, theft and exploitation at all times.

    • Faction brings multiple innovations and advances in these areas. It will not solve every problem, but thanks to Dave's insights, experience and inventive mind, Faction brings together a set of tools that enable every day end users and small organizations to leverage fundamentally sound and secure networking and data encryption at all times to protect their most important communications and data.   Most importantly of all, Faction eliminates the centralized vulnerabilities that are at the heart of our networked world today and literally gives each person the keys to control their own privacy and security.
