About the role

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.

  • Build and maintain enterprise services in TypeScript, REST APIs, and JSON for user, group, and membership management
  • Implement identity synchronization and lifecycle management using SCIM and related standards
  • Operate services at high scale, including scheduled on-call rotations
  • 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
  • Flexible Time Off.

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $196,000-$294,000. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location.
