Product Security Engineer

US (Remote)

SGNL’s modern Privileged Identity Management system eliminates standing access to critical systems by granting and revoking contextual access in real time, drastically reducing the potential impact of a breach. By incorporating context-based intelligence, SGNL prevents attackers—leveraging compromised credentials or other means—from freely navigating cloud applications like Azure, AWS, GitHub, and Salesforce, as well as on-prem systems.

That’s why global enterprises and fast-growing mid-market companies alike are turning to SGNL to reduce their identity attack surfaces and secure critical systems. Founded in 2021, SGNL is backed by top security technology investors, including Cisco Ventures, Costanoa Ventures, Fika Ventures, M12/Microsoft's Venture Fund, Moonshots Capital, and Resolute Ventures.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
