Software Engineer

What you'll do

• Experiment, design, and build UIs, flows, features, and layers of abstraction that decrease the amount of work our users have to do. Lots of devex
• Expand use case coverage of our core authorization service
• Build and operate infrastructure for our highly available and low latency cloud service
• Plus, help build a company and community from the ground up by wearing other hats, including:
  • Writing documentation and blog posts to excite and support new users
  • Engaging with users through support channels (e.g., Slack) to help them with their problems

Here are examples of things we've worked on:

• Built a visual policy builder for our declarative policy language, Polar
• Built an interactive debugger, called Explain, to help users understand why authorization requests succeed or fail
• Implemented incremental forward chaining to cache authorization responses for deeply nested recursive queries

Who you are

You're ambitious. You want to win big. You can't stand to be around anything but execution at the highest level. You have an inner motor to move fast.

You're an owner. You are accountable to results over the process. You see yourself not just as an engineer, but also as an owner of the company.

You're resilient. Building a startup is not for the faint of heart. You see the challenges as not just normal, but actually desirable.

You want to grow, and help others grow. You self-reflect often. You give feedback, and you seek it out. You prioritize the customer above all else. You want to understand our users' world and prioritize solving their authorization problems above everything else.
