Our APS team builds a product that will analyze the results of Email Authentication technologies like DKIM, SPF and DMARC to assist clients in controling their email infrastructure. As well as, analyzing email data in search for instances of email fraud that affect client’s brands.  It's a two part goal that works together to strengthen the client's brand against future email infrastructure problems and attempts at fraud.

What it's like to work here
It's great! From the CEO and senior management team to the newest entry-level employee, we are a company that cares a lot about fostering a great work environment and a fun, energetic, success-oriented culture. We have a strong philosophical belief that our people are our most important assets. And we don't just pay lip service to that phrase -- we incorporate it into our policies, and we live it every day. Yes, that philosophy means we have generous 'traditional' benefits, and it also means we take a lot of time to focus on high quality management and leadership, and time to make sure everyone in the company is in the right job, knows how his or her job contributes to the overall company mission, and has a clear sense of learning and career growth. We have great employee retention over the years because people love coming to work here and really feel like they're part of something special. For more information visit www.returnpath.com
