We're hiring Golang developers, DevOps engineers, and solution architects to build next-generation API and microservices infrastructure. The company aims to provide secure and compliant services to a range of customers, from startups to enterprises, and emphasizes the importance of security in customer relationships. To achieve this, the team developed a comprehensive security framework using SOC 2 compliance as their primary goal, which involves creating detailed documentation, processes, and procedures for security controls.

The audit process itself took only three months to complete, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 per type of audit. The team is now gearing up for their next SOC 2 Type II audit and encourages others to prioritize security in their own businesses.
