- Build and maintain complex full-stack features spanning Java services and React user interfaces from conception to production.
- Architect secure identity and access management flows including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML within multi-tenant architectures.
- Drive continuous integration and deployment maturity by improving pipelines and defining deployment strategies across services.
- Operate production infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tools with a focus on reliability and cost.
- Integrate AI coding agents and LLM capabilities into daily development workflows and platform features.
- Mentor team members through code reviews, pairing sessions, and technical guidance while overseeing observability and incident response.
What you need
- Minimum of 5 years of professional software engineering experience with tenure in platform or identity-adjacent domains.
- Daily and fluent use of AI coding agents such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Claude as part of the software development lifecycle.
- Expert-level Java development skills including Spring Boot, microservices patterns, and performance tuning.
- Strong React engineering experience building complex user interfaces with modern hooks and state management.
- Deep production-grade knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and enterprise identity providers like Okta or Azure AD.
- Solid command of relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL including schema design and query optimization.
- Proficiency with cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Helm.
Nice to have
- Experience with event-driven architectures like Kafka for real-time security event processing
- Familiarity with digital certificates, PKI, or the DigiCert ONE trust platform
- Familiarity with agentic AI workflows and tools that utilize LLMs or function calling
- Experience building or operating multi-tenant SaaS platforms with strict isolation requirements
- Track record of introducing AI-first development practices to an engineering team
