Immuta • Columbus, MD

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Immuta’s Core Policy Team builds technologies that let customers author, manage, and enforce complex data-access policies across modern data ecosystems. The team automates governance and privacy enforcement across cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, and Starburst, working with engineering, product, design, and other partners to address technical challenges and deliver maintainable customer-focused software.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Core Policy Team, you will design, build, and evolve scalable, high-performance features for Immuta’s policy abstraction and enforcement capabilities. You will work across front-end and back-end systems, take ownership of complex projects from technical design through delivery and follow-up improvements, contribute to architectural direction, and use operational data to improve reliability and performance. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role that calls for technical judgment and supporting the growth of other engineers.

Requirements

• At least 5 years in software engineering or a related discipline; demonstrated scope and impact are considered alongside tenure, and production software delivery experience is preferred.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript, with front-end application experience using Angular, React, Vue.js, or comparable frameworks, and backend experience with Node.js or related technologies.
• Experience designing and delivering services, APIs, and distributed systems with attention to scalability, maintainability, extensibility, reliability, and secure operation.
• Strong SQL and relational database fundamentals, including PostgreSQL or comparable systems, and experience designing data models and API contracts.
• Experience with automated testing, code review, continuous integration and delivery, observability, debugging, and safe production rollouts.
• Ability to frame ambiguous problems, consult stakeholders, evaluate tradeoffs, make timely decisions, and explain technical choices.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects or cross-component initiatives from technical design through delivery, rollout, monitoring, and follow-up improvements.
• Ability to build alignment and influence technical direction across Engineering and partner functions without formal authority.
• Experience mentoring engineers and improving team practices through design reviews, documentation, code reviews, or other knowledge-sharing activities.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
