Role

We are seeking a passionate engineer to join our group, Platform Identity. Our team designs distributed systems to authenticate and authorize users to high volumes of machine-generated data at scale. We are proud of owning what we build even after it's deployed to production. We ensure code hygiene, use open source libraries, employ continuous integration and delivery, and have a strong belief in automated testing at multiple levels (unit, integration, system). We are uniquely positioned as a globally distributed team with team members in a variety of locations.

Requirements

• Extensive experience in developing and solving problems with multi-threaded server applications written in C/C++ or/and Go (Golang) on Linux and optionally Windows platforms
• Strong debugging and fixing skills including the use of associated tools
• Experience working on highly scalable systems involving network communications and associated protocols e.g. REST, TCP/IP, HTTP
• Knowledgeable about identity standards SAML, OIDC, and LDAP are a plus.
• Experience maintaining enterprise software deployed in on-premise and cloud environments
• Mentored junior engineers in their development skills via code reviews and design discussions
• Knowledge and experience in working with at least one cloud provider AWS/GCP/Azure (GCP is most preferred)
• Additional experience in automation, infrastructure as a code, and Terraform is most welcome
  
  

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain server-side applications for authentication through Identity standards like SAML, OIDC, and LDAP.
• Analyze, identify and resolve the bottlenecks of distributed systems, data pipeline, multi-threaded coherency and other complicated scenarios.
• Engage in design and code reviews of the product, and maximize your knowledge of customers’ experiences to prevent future problems
• Offer thought leadership on how to make code maintainable and the product diagnosable and serviceable
• Participate in rotating on-call duties to diagnose and tackle customer issues.
  
  

What We Provide

• A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
• A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. We work in an open environment, work together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs for the team. We keep it real by being open and honest. We are a collaborative team that understands the value in open communication—it's how we interact with our customers.
• Balance. We don't expect people to work 12-hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
• Fun. We are committed to having every employee want to give it their all, be respectful and a part of the family, and have a smile on their face while doing it.
