As a Software Engineer, Backend, you’ll design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance systems for user, group, and membership management. You’ll work in JavaScript and TypeScript, Node.js, SQL and NoSQL cloud-native databases, and AWS. Security and reliability come first, from identity synchronization to the services you run on call.

- Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes) to deliver scalable, high-availability applications
- Work with cross-functional and peer teams to deliver large-scale projects with cross-team dependencies
What you need:
- 5+ years of relevant engineering experience
- Proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and Node.js, with practical experience developing and improving Node.js applications
- Experience with SQL and web protocols such as REST, SOAP, XML, and JSON
- Hands-on experience with security architecture and identity protocols such as LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, SSO, OAuth2, and OpenID Connect
- Worked with access control models such as RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package, including equity.
- Inclusive Healthcare Package.
- Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
- Flexible Time Off.
- We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
