Job Description
StrongDM lives by a very simple principle: Put People First.
That means we do the right things by our colleagues, employees and customers. It also means developing products and solutions that improve the lives of our customers.

When you work at StrongDM, you work with people who care, technology that works, and customers who are obsessed with both the product and the support they receive.

1. We embrace the mission
2. We pursue mastery
3. We are people first
4. We are smarter together
These are the values we seek to cultivate as an organization.

Speaking of candidates, we're so glad you're here! If this sounds like an environment you'd thrive in, read on.
