Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer – Platform & Infrastructure

We're partnering with a fast-growing technology company that is building the future of identity security.

As organisations rapidly adopt AI agents, cloud services, and increasingly complex access requirements, traditional identity systems are struggling to keep pace. This company is building an AI-native authorization platform that helps enterprises securely manage access in the modern cloud environment.

They are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join their elite platform team and build the distributed systems, infrastructure services, and developer tooling that power a mission-critical security platform used by leading enterprises and technology companies.

Why Join?

🔹 Make a significant impact at a high-growth company – Engineers have real ownership over critical parts of the platform. You'll build systems from the ground up, solve complex engineering challenges, and see your work directly impact customers.

🔹 Work alongside world-class engineers – Join a senior engineering team with backgrounds from companies like Meta, Google, and successful startups. You'll work with engineers who have built and scaled systems at significant levels.

🔹 Build the future of identity security – As companies adopt AI agents and cloud-native architectures, identity and access management is becoming one of the biggest challenges in technology. You'll help build the platform solving this next-generation problem.

🔹 Own meaningful engineering problems – You'll work across architecture, system design, backend development, and platform engineering rather than focusing on a narrow area of ownership.

🔹 Competitive compensation and equity upside – Join a well-funded Series B company backed by leading investors, with strong salary potential and meaningful equity opportunity.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll design, build, and scale the backend systems and platform capabilities that power the company's security platform.

What You'll Be Doing

✅ Design and build scalable distributed systems supporting enterprise workloads.

✅ Develop backend services and core platform components.

✅ Improve platform reliability, security, and performance.

✅ Build internal developer platforms and tooling used across engineering teams.

✅ Drive architectural decisions and technical strategy.

✅ Collaborate with product and engineering teams to solve complex customer challenges.

✅ Engage directly with enterprise customers to understand technical requirements.

✅ Establish engineering best practices across the platform.

What We're Looking For

✅ 4+ years of experience as a Software Engineer building distributed systems.

✅ Strong programming fundamentals and ability to succeed through rigorous coding interviews.

✅ Experience building backend services, infrastructure platforms, or developer tooling.

✅ Experience designing systems that operate at enterprise scale or within multi-tenant SaaS environments.

✅ Strong experience with Golang or another systems programming language.

✅ Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.

✅ Understanding of technologies such as Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, PostgreSQL, or Redis.

✅ Strong understanding of system design, scalability, and reliability principles.
