Global Sign was formed in 1996 as one of the Internet’s original trust service providers (you probably know us as a Certificate Authority). Over the years we have issued millions of digital certificates that have been used to secure commerce and communication on the Internet. Our solutions take the pain out of using cryptography and help organizations solve complex problems with increased productivity and peace of mind.

The web has changed a lot since 1996 but how we bootstrap trust on it has not changed much - we are going to fix that.

We are building a small engineering team here in the Seattle area and another in Manilaand need developers who feel comfortable on both the front- and back-end. People who love learning new stuff, self-starters – true creative problem solvers.
