Build and maintain production CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes-based deployments

Contribute to compliance-aligned engineering practices (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA)
Partner cross-functionally across product, design, and engineering
6–20 years of backend software engineering experience
Strong hands-on development experience in Go (preferred) or Java
Excellent computer science fundamentals
Strong backend breadth (APIs, databases, distributed systems, infra awareness)
Experience owning end-to-end systems in a startup or demonstrated ownership of major production systems at a larger tech company
Experience building secure, scalable distributed architectures
Experience with identity and access management protocols:
OAuth 2.0
SAML
OIDC
WebAuthn
Familiarity with certificate authorities and PKI
Understanding of corporate IT/security ecosystems (MDM, endpoint security, etc.)
Experience implementing audit logging in production systems
Strong conceptual understanding of CI/CD pipelines
Production experience with Kubernetes
Experience designing database schemas and writing raw SQL
Experience working with compliance frameworks such as:
SOC 2
ISO 27001
GDPR
CCPA
Computer Science degree from a top CS program
Experience in identity-focused companies (e.g., Okta, OneLogin, or similar identity providers)
Experience building customer-facing identity or security infrastructure (not solely internal tooling)
