About the role

What You'll Do

  • Extend and improve our role-based access control systems, building fine-grained permission models that meet the needs of enterprise customers
  • Design and build new platform features including group management and expanded functionality to our existing enterprise authentication mechanisms (SAML / SCIM)
  • Implement clean, well-tested microservices with clear APIs and proper error handling
  • Partner with product and engineering stakeholders to clarify requirements, drive technical decisions on features you own, and ship on a regular cadence
  • Share on-call responsibilities for the services the team owns and handle straightforward incidents with the team supporting
  • Contribute to the developer experience for both internal teams and external API consumers as platform capabilities grow

What You'll Bring

  • 2-4 years of software engineering experience
  • Solid Go (Golang) implementation skills — clean code, idiomatic error handling, effective use of the standard library
  • Experience building and shipping backend services in a cloud environment (GCP or AWS)
  • A track record of delivering feature work at high quality and seeing it through to production
  • Strong ownership instinct and drive, to identify what needs to be done, ask the right questions early, and follow through
  • Clear communication and the ability to collaborate effectively with product and engineering stakeholders

What Sets You Apart

  • Familiarity with identity concepts: SSO, SAML, OIDC, or SCIM
  • Experience with Kubernetes and Docker
  • Comfort in a distributed systems context
  • Experience working on systems where correctness and security properties matter
