Virtru allows you to send end-to-end encrypted email using your existing email address and existing email provider with the flip of a switch. We have browser extensions for Chrome/Firefox, apps for iPhone and Android, and a plugin for Outlook desktop.
Our full time team of ~40 is currently ~50% engineers spread among all 4 US-based time zones. We value automated testing, readable/maintainable code, documentation, and code reviews. We run in 2 week sprints and dedicate about 20% of total capacity to things the dev team thinks are important (technical debt, refactoring, exploring a new technology, etc), while the rest goes to feature development and addressing bugs.
We are well capitalized and just closed a $29 million dollar round with top investors [0].
