Backend web developer with an interest in writing secure code.

What we do at Detectify
Detectify was born from the simple idea that the internet is broken. Our founders are some of the best ethical hackers in the world. They have hacked tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Dropbox and are continuing to share their knowledge as part of our tech teams.

Today we offer a web application security scanner that automates hacker attacks. We collaborate with 150+ handpicked white-hat hackers to gather security tests for 1000+ known vulnerabilities that we implement into our scanner. We are trusted by some of the most widely known companies such as Spotify, Trello, and King. Based in central Stockholm, Sweden, we are currently a team of 50 employees and growing quickly.

What our web team does
Our web team (or Zombie Hands as they like to call themselves) are responsible for Detectify’s public facing platforms. What that means is that they build and improve four major platforms; Detectify’s public facing (https://detectify.com/), our crowdsourcing platform (https://cs.detectify.com/), the customer's logged-in interface, and our platform for internal data/analytics.

No matter the platform Zombie Hands guarantee the best user journey possible. Collectively they work on a single page application using a tech stack that includes PHP, MySQL, React.js, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Docker and Microservices.

The team today consists of 6 people with the majority being developers as well as a designer and a UX-strategist. They work according to Scrum in two-week sprints with releases at least once a week.
