This role focuses on building and maintaining foundational systems for identity, authentication, and integration capabilities across their multi-product SaaS platform.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, test, and release features end-to-end with limited guidance
- Independently identify edge cases and potential failure modes within assigned work
- Write clean, maintainable code and provide constructive, specific feedback during code reviews
- Proactively communicate blockers or ambiguities to the team
- Apply practical knowledge of federated identity standards including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML 2.0, and JWT
- Understand and reason about authorization frameworks, policy enforcement, and integration into upstream and downstream services
- Reason clearly about token lifecycle, session management, and the security implications of identity design choices
- Understand the mechanics of connecting distributed services in a multi-product platform environment
- Build and maintain integrations that are observable, fault-tolerant, and respectful of downstream consumers
- Write and work with API contracts (REST, event-driven patterns) with attention to versioning and backwards compatibility
- Actively use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) to accelerate design, implementation, and validation
- Participate in building and improving AI-assisted workflows and evaluation harnesses
- Stay current on evolving AI tooling and introduce new approaches to the team
- Write tests with sufficient coverage to catch regressions without over-engineering
- Contribute to operational health by monitoring shipped features, responding to issues, and following incidents to resolution
- Document systems and processes to reduce reliance on tribal knowledge
- Build and extend platform services for federated identity, authentication, and authorization
- Implement integrations with the centralized identity platform, including token handling and session management
- Support product teams with integration processes, debugging, and navigating edge cases
- Develop tooling, documentation, and examples for self-service integrations
- Design and implement backend service integrations using Python and common patterns
- Build with multi-product and multi-tenant scenarios in mind
- Participate in API design reviews
- Use AI development tools as an active part of the delivery workflow
- Contribute to AI harness development to improve team velocity
- Share effective AI-assisted engineering patterns with the team
- Write unit, integration, and acceptance tests
- Instrument services for observability (logging, metrics, alerting)
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident response
- Participate in design discussions and code reviews, giving and receiving feedback constructively
- Provide mentorship and review support to junior engineers
- Contribute to internal documentation, runbooks, and onboarding materials
Skills
- 3-5 years of professional software engineering experience, with a demonstrated ability to own and deliver features independently in a production environment
- Hands-on experience building backend services in .NET or Python, including RESTful API development
- Demonstrated experience implementing or integrating with federated identity systems using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML 2.0, and/or JWT in production applications
- Practical understanding of authorization frameworks: how policies are modeled, enforced, and integrated into application and platform services
- Proficiency in .NET or Python for backend service development; familiarity with modern API frameworks (e.g., .NET 9+, FastAPI)
- Working knowledge of identity protocol mechanics: authorization code flow, token introspection, claims-based access, assertion handling, and SSO logout behavior
- Experience with multi-tenant SaaS integration patterns, including tenant-scoped configuration and user identity across application boundaries
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including relevant managed services for networking, compute, and secrets management
- Proficiency with standard development tooling: Git, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and automated testing
- Active use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) as part of a daily engineering workflow
- Prior experience working with a commercial or open-source identity platform
- Experience modeling and implementing fine-grained authorization (RBAC, ABAC)
- Familiarity with token security considerations
- Experience building software in a financial services or regulated technology environment
- Experience building internal platform capabilities
- Exposure to SOC 2 or similar compliance frameworks
- Experience contributing to AI harnesses or evaluation pipelines
- Comfort using AI tools for design exploration and test generation
