Software Engineer, Internal Applications - Enterprise

Build internal applications that reduce manual IT and security operations through frontend/backend software, automation, and agentic systems. Requires strong full-stack experience and security judgment.

About the job

Responsibilities

  • Build frontend experiences that let employees request help, let agents gather context and take safe actions, and let human responders review, approve, or take over without losing the thread.
  • Reduce reliance on broadly privileged manual actions by replacing them with narrow, auditable, policy-aware automation.
  • Turn recurring technology support and administration problems into paved-path processes that can be completed consistently and, where appropriate, without a human in the loop.
  • Build agentic solutions that can understand tickets, gather context, execute safe actions, and escalate intelligently when automation is not enough.
  • Improve ITSM experiences across intake, routing, execution, handoff, and auditability.
  • Create reusable tools, APIs, and execution primitives that agents and operators can use safely across enterprise systems.
  • Design internal applications that pair strong frontend usability with robust backend systems, especially for complex operational tasks.
  • Partner closely with IT, Security, and business teams to identify where software can remove friction, reduce risk, and improve operational leverage.
  • Work with IAM and Security partners to ensure internal applications align with Zero Trust principles, RBAC expectations, and compliance needs.
  • Build backend foundations that support secure products across identity, ITSM, ticketing, and service integrations.
  • Strengthen monitoring, observability, and incident readiness for the systems behind these experiences.
  • Manage multiple initiatives while maintaining a high bar for usability, implementation quality, and operational follow-through.

Requirements

  • Strong experience building production software across both frontend and backend layers, with particular strength in modern frontend development.
  • Experience designing interfaces for complex operational products, internal tools, or case-management systems.
  • A track record of turning ambiguous operational problems into clear, usable products or systems.
  • Solid backend engineering fundamentals in API design, data modeling, integrations, and system reliability.
  • Experience building internal platforms, support tooling, automation systems, or operational products.
  • Interest in agentic systems, ITSM, enterprise administration, or software that reduces manual operational burden.
  • Strong judgment around security, access boundaries, and designing systems that constrain risky actions rather than simply making them easier.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills and ability to work cross-functionally with IT, Security, and business teams.
  • Clear and concise communication skills to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • A self-starter with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with enterprise SaaS administration, identity systems, or privileged operational tooling.
  • Experience building AI-assisted or agentic support systems.
  • Experience with ticketing systems, request routing, approval flows, or operational case management.
  • Experience designing reusable toolsets or platforms consumed by both humans and agents.
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and NIST.
