Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Platform/Core) to join our experienced, fully remote engineering team and lead the development and improvement of the core components of our platform.
You will work closely with our Engineering Lead and collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive technical improvements and support the platform’s evolution.
This is a hands-on, senior role with real ownership over technical decisions, architecture, and implementation. You’ll join a team where engineers are encouraged to take initiative and solve complex problems.
Key Responsibilities
- Own identity and access management: extend authentication with OIDC and SSO for third-party identity providers, and evolve role-based access control toward more fine-grained authorization, such as ABAC.
- Improve auditability and data governance across the platform together with the data engineering team, turning security and compliance requirements into product capabilities.
- Evolve the platform architecture so it runs in isolated customer environments, including on-prem, and lead this work across teams.
- Improve the fault tolerance and stability of the system.
- Reduce technical debt and modernize core platform components.
- Contribute to architectural decisions and coordinate related changes with the DevOps, application, and data engineering teams.
Requirements
- 5+ years of backend or platform engineering experience on distributed systems in production. Python is preferred.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, with experience improving existing systems, addressing technical debt, and shaping system architecture.
- Practical experience with authentication, authorization, and access control in production systems.
- Solid experience with relational databases and familiarity with search technologies.
- A security-aware engineering mindset, including secure API design and familiarity with common vulnerabilities such as the OWASP Top 10.
- Ability to work autonomously, take ownership of technical decisions, and collaborate effectively across teams.
- English proficiency at B2 level or higher, with the ability to communicate effectively in a professional environment.
- Openness to AI-assisted development as part of your day-to-day work.
Nice to Have
- Experience in product-driven companies building complex B2B SaaS or enterprise software, particularly for customers with on-prem deployment requirements.
- Experience designing and shipping enterprise identity and access management solutions, including SSO and fine-grained authorization.
- Experience with data-level access controls, audit logging, data governance, or security compliance in regulated environments.
- Experience with government, defense, or other security-sensitive systems.
- Experience securing AI-powered applications, including permission-aware retrieval or authorization for AI agents.
We Offer
- Opportunity to contribute to a mission-driven startup and support prestigious clients, including governments worldwide, enterprise clients, and leading NGOs in tackling global security challenges.
- Autonomy and freedom to drive experiments and bring your own ideas to life.
- Flexibility of remote work.
- Flexible, unlimited time-off policy.
