What you need

  • 8+ years of experience building and operating backend or platform systems at scale, ideally including identity, authentication, authorization, or security-adjacent infrastructure

  • Strong focus on reliability and security in system design
  • Experience with large migrations in live, high-traffic systems
  • Ability to take a product-focused approach to platform work and create user-friendly primitives
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity and make sound technical decisions independently

Nice to have

  • Experience with globally distributed databases and multi-region service architecture
  • Experience working in Go, Python, Rust, or TypeScript
  • Prior work on enterprise identity integrations with major identity providers and cloud IAM systems

What you get

  • Competitive compensation
  • Optional equity donation matching
  • Generous vacation and parental leave
  • Flexible working hours
  • Collaborative office space

Worth weighing
