Cloudmark, Senior Web Developer

At Cloudmark I design and develop user interfaces for both customer-facing web applications and internal technical tools —  taking them from business requirements, to mockups, to production ready code. I am the lead user experience designer and a senior web engineer working on Cloudmark Trident (cloud-based anti-spearphishing) and Cloudmark Security Platform (carrier-grade messaging infrastructure protection). I contribute to the design of and review internal and customer-facing REST APIs, and have completed lead capture integration and major corporate website redesign projects on behalf of the marketing team. I work closely with product managers, back-end, test, and ops engineers on all of these projects during all phases of our planning/development/testing/deployment sprints.
