About The Position

At CyberArk, we are reinventing Identity Security and Identity Governance. Join us to build a world-class solution with a simple and intuitive user experience that stands apart from the complex products in the IT & Security space. As a Staff Software Engineer at CyberArk, you will own and drive larger technical initiatives end-to-end, from shaping problem spaces to delivering scalable solutions that span teams and services. We are looking for engineers who work cross-functionally with engineering, product, design, customer success, and as required, directly with customers.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience leading complex technical initiatives that span multiple services, teams, or domains, with clear ownership from design through delivery.
Strong full-stack design and development background, grounded in solid software engineering fundamentals. While our stack is MEAN, we value architectural judgment and adaptability over specific technologies.
Deep understanding of modern SaaS architectures, including API design, cloud-native deployment, scalability, reliability, and service observability.
Proven ability to make high-quality technical tradeoffs, balancing speed of delivery with long-term platform health and maintainability.
Track record of operating effectively in ambiguous problem spaces, asking the right questions and shaping solutions before requirements are fully formed.
Natural technical leadership and influence, demonstrated through mentoring, design reviews, and raising the bar for engineering quality across teams.
Excellent written, verbal, and cross-functional communication skills, especially when working with product, design, and non-engineering stakeholders.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Ability to work a hybrid schedule in the Newton, MA area.

Responsibilities

Lead technical initiatives across Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), from problem discovery and design through implementation, rollout, and long-term ownership.
Operate with a high degree of autonomy, translating ambiguous business and product problems into well-designed technical solutions.
Drive delivery across multiple teams, coordinating dependencies, setting technical direction, and unblocking execution.
Design, develop, and ship production systems that are scalable, reliable, and aligned with long-term architectural goals.
Partner closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to influence roadmap decisions and ensure technical feasibility.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers across teams, multiplying impact through design reviews, code reviews, and informal coaching.
Continuously improve engineering practices, including system architecture, tooling, and delivery processes.
Represent engineering in cross-functional efforts, working with customer success, sales engineering, and other stakeholders to ensure solutions meet real customer needs.
Act as a technical point of accountability for complex initiatives, even without formal people-management responsibility.
