Salary : About MirrorWeb

MirrorWeb is a fast-growing, Manchester-born scale-up with headquarters in Austin, Texas. We've earned a global reputation for enabling financial firms to manage risk through cutting-edge data archiving and supervision solutions. We help organisations meet their compliance needs more efficiently than ever before. Our platform captures, monitors and stores all digital communications - whether it's emails, MS Teams conversations, iMessages, or anything else. This helps businesses comply with strict regulations and avoid costly fines like the $5 billion issued by the SEC in 2023.

Our mission is simple : to allow firms to communicate freely and confidently with the knowledge that all messages will be monitored and flagged in real-time if noncompliant.
