Senior Software Engineer - Government Cloud

What you will be doing

• Design, build, and harden product features within a compliance-regulated cloud environment — writing code with a strong focus on security controls, data privacy, and auditability.
• Build features specific to AWS GovCloud users: authentication methods required by federal agencies, audit and compliance capabilities, and tooling that makes it easier for customers to operate and audit their own Tines tenants.
• Build abstractions that reduce friction for engineers across Tines to author and test features in a government cloud environment without needing direct access to it — environment-aware configuration, feature flags, and automated compliance boundary testing.
• Enable software engineers to build new product features that work seamlessly across commercial and government cloud environments: observability, logging, and simplifying deployments.
• Analyze our application for security gaps, identifying where existing functionality needs to be adapted, constrained, or hardened to meet government standards — and implement those changes yourself.
• Work cross-functionally across product teams to align timelines and develop hands-on solutions that meet security controls, translating between compliance requirements and engineering reality.
• Use your knowledge and experience to mentor other engineers on secure design patterns and building confidently for regulated environments.
• Support our self-hosted federal customers operating in our CMMC environment, including handling escalations and complex, long-running support cases as part of the team's on-call responsibilities.

Projects you might work on

• Building smart card authentication support so federal users can log in with their government-issued credentials alongside existing SSO integrations.
• Making it easier for customers to operate and audit their own Tines tenants — richer audit logging, records retention controls, and exportable compliance evidence.
• Building developer tooling and abstractions so engineers across Tines can author features that work in GovCloud without needing to understand every compliance constraint — automated testing that catches compliance boundary violations before they reach production.
• Implementing security impact analysis and change control workflows directly into our development process, so compliance validation is part of shipping code rather than a separate step.
• Ensuring our GovCloud SaaS and self-hosted customers can easily monitor, manage, and scale their dependencies like OpenSearch — building the in-product features and tooling that give customers visibility and control over their own infrastructure.
• Collaborating closely with our Product and Design teams to determine which product capabilities need to be adapted or constrained for government environments — and finding the simplest path to get there.
• Using our own product to automate compliance workflows — vulnerability tracking, change control documentation, and incident response runbooks powered by Tines.
• Writing a blog post to share something interesting we learned about building for the government with the community.

Is this the right role for you?

• Roughly 7+ years as a professional software engineer. Proven track record of success as a senior software engineer.
• Direct experience of building and delivering software using a high-level programming language.
• Experience building software that operates in compliance-regulated or security-sensitive environments is a strong plus (FedRAMP, FISMA, SOC 2, HIPAA, or similar).
• Comfortable reasoning about security at the application layer: encryption, access control, audit logging, or data retention.
• Main languages are Ruby and TypeScript, but prior experience not required.
• Broad role across the stack; willingness to pitch in anywhere needed.
• Customer obsessed and willing to go deep into unfamiliar stacks to find root causes for errors, performance issues, and bugs.
