Senior Front-End Engineer

Who We Are

At Maro, we are pioneering the next generation of web browser-based cybersecurity solutions, designed to empower users as they navigate the complexities of the modern digital landscape. In a world where the internet has become increasingly treacherous—fraught with sophisticated threats like malicious extensions, malvertising on trusted sites, and social engineering tactics elevated by Phishing as a Service (PhaaS) kits—we are committed to providing more than just protection. We envision a safer online experience where every user, regardless of their technical expertise, is accompanied by a constant guardian that educates and shields them from emerging cyber threats.

The rapid shift to online operations and remote work during the pandemic has only amplified these challenges. While traditional browser exploits are less common, new, subtle attack vectors are on the rise. Maro’s mission is to stay ahead of these threats, offering a solution that is as dynamic and adaptable as the digital environment it protects.

We are proudly backed by Downing Capital Group, a venture capital firm that partners with its portfolio companies from inception. Downing supports us with comprehensive resources, including funding, market insights, strategic guidance, recruitment, brand development, and operational expertise, ensuring we have everything needed to succeed at every stage of our journey.
