Job Description

Role Overview

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join a small team of senior engineers building the connectors framework for our Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) product. In this role you will help code, design, secure, improve, scale, test and maintain how our platform integrates with enterprise and Saas systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to architecture and system design for connector services: APIs, integration patterns, data flows, and operational boundaries.

• Harden and scale the framework and related microservices for performance, fault tolerance, and maintainability.

• Partner with product and engineering peers on technical trade-offs, roadmap alignment, and production readiness.

• Participate in code review, design discussion, and incident learning; help raise engineering quality across the team.

Required Qualifications

• Senior-level experience: approximately 8+ years in software engineering, with sustained ownership of production services from design through deployment and ongoing operation

• Strong grounding in software and systems design (abstractions, contracts, failure modes, scalability, and security implications).

• Hands-on experience shipping and operating microservices on AWS in production

• Relevant technical depth in integration or connector-style systems (sync and incremental jobs, retries, idempotency, backpressure, rate limits); distributed backends at meaningful scale

• Demonstrated impact such as improving reliability, performance, or security with clear outcomes; active participation in design reviews; and production accountability 

• Excellent communication and collaboration—clear technical writing, constructive code review, and productive partnership across functions.

• Strong curiosity and learning mindset, including comfort ramping on unfamiliar domains when the problem demands it.

• Comfort with AI-assisted / agentic development (e.g. Cursor) for implementation, exploration, and review.

• Experience mentoring or leveling up others through review, pairing, or technical leadership without people-management responsibility.

• Identity or IGA-adjacent domain knowledge - user and entitlement lifecycle, provisioning and deprovisioning, access reviews, integrations with HRIS / ITSM / directories, SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM, and familiarity with audit, compliance, and least-privilege concerns in access systems.
