About the Role

We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer to build the internal platforms, services, integrations, and automation that make enterprise security and identity work at startup speed. This is a hands-on software engineering role focused on building the tooling that connects identity, access, SaaS, endpoint posture, privileged workflows, security telemetry, compliance evidence, and automation into a reliable operating model. Your work will turn security intent into working systems that make security faster, more measurable, and easier for builders to adopt.

Responsibilities

Build internal software services and integrations across identity, access, SaaS, endpoint, privileged access, security data, and workflow systems
Design backend APIs, data models, and integration patterns for users, devices, groups, roles, applications, permissions, owners, exceptions, and audit trails
Integrate third-party systems and internal tools through APIs, webhooks, queues, events, and workflow engines
Establish practical source-of-truth boundaries and ownership across connected systems
Automate joiner, mover, leaver workflows, access requests, entitlement cleanup, approvals, revocation, and evidence capture
Create workflow automation that gives engineers fast access when justified while removing access when no longer needed
Support identity-aware tooling for SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC, service accounts, non-human identities, and privileged access paths
Prioritize tooling improvements around JML, privileged access, non-human identities, and access evidence with the Identity and Access lead
Improve security tooling reliability through testing, observability, error handling, retries, idempotency, deployment safety, and operational runbooks
Define engineering standards for code review, testing, deployment, observability, secrets handling, and runbooks
Map high-value workflows that are currently manual, fragile, or poorly integrated
Build reusable internal services and integrations that reduce manual work and create measurable security evidence
Connect identity and access events with security telemetry and reporting to support detection, investigation, audit, and executive metrics
Preserve clear evidence across access and approval workflows to support compliance and operational review
Implement guardrails for AI and agentic workflows, including approval, attribution, logging, least privilege, and safe write paths
Ship meaningful workflow improvements such as access automation, revocation automation, identity evidence capture, entitlement cleanup, or SaaS onboarding automation

Requirements

8+ years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent depth building production software systems
Experience designing, building, testing, deploying, and operating production services or internal platforms
Experience integrating SaaS platforms, enterprise tools, internal services, or third-party systems through APIs, webhooks, queues, events, or workflow engines
Ability to work through ambiguity, make sound technical tradeoffs, and turn messy operational needs into maintainable software
Experience building identity, access, security, compliance, IT automation, developer productivity, or internal platform tooling is preferred
Experience with privileged access, JIT workflows, approval systems, lifecycle automation, entitlement management, non-human identity governance, or audit-ready evidence tooling is preferred
