About The Position

We’re looking for a deeply experienced backend engineer to help build secure, scalable distributed systems from the ground up. This is an early-stage, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast with rigor, and cares deeply about building secure, enterprise-grade software.

Requirements

  • 6–20 years of backend software engineering experience
  • Strong hands-on development experience in Go (preferred) or Java
  • Excellent computer science fundamentals
  • Strong backend breadth (APIs, databases, distributed systems, infra awareness)
  • Experience owning end-to-end systems in a startup or demonstrated ownership of major production systems at a larger tech company
  • Experience building secure, scalable distributed architectures
  • Experience with identity and access management protocols: OAuth 2.0 SAML OIDC WebAuthn
  • Familiarity with certificate authorities and PKI
  • Understanding of corporate IT/security ecosystems (MDM, endpoint security, etc.)
  • Experience implementing audit logging in production systems
  • Strong conceptual understanding of CI/CD pipelines
  • Production experience with Kubernetes
  • Experience designing database schemas and writing raw SQL
  • Experience working with compliance frameworks such as: SOC 2 ISO 27001 GDPR CCPA
  • Computer Science degree from a top CS program

Nice To Haves

  • Experience in identity-focused companies (e.g., Okta, OneLogin, or similar identity providers)
  • Experience building customer-facing identity or security infrastructure (not solely internal tooling)

Responsibilities

  • Architect and build secure, scalable distributed microservices
  • Design backend systems for high availability and enterprise workloads
  • Implement robust audit logging and observability practices
  • Design database schemas and write performant raw SQL
  • Build and maintain production CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes-based deployments
  • Design and implement identity and access management integrations
  • Contribute to compliance-aligned engineering practices (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA)
  • Partner cross-functionally across product, design, and engineering
