Become a key player as a Software Development Engineer in Test:

Join a high-impact team responsible for the “front door” of the platform — the systems that power identity, authentication, and secure access for millions of users. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll help revamp core infrastructure, accelerate delivery pipelines, and build high-quality code that keeps customers secure. Your work directly enhances platform reliability, scalability, and developer velocity, enabling the organization to ship faster, safer, and smarter.

This is a hands-on role for an engineer who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys solving complex technical problems, and is passionate about secure, scalable system design.

​​​​​​
Here’s how you’ll make an impact on the team: 

  • Build, test, and deploy secure, scalable backend services using Java (or Scala).
  • Create and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins and Git.
  • Write high-quality automated tests (Selenium, Playwright, or similar).
  • Collaborate with product managers to understand customer needs and translate them into engineering requirements.
  • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and system architecture discussions.
  • Improve system reliability, instrumentation, and automation to speed up delivery.
  • Support daily development activities — from ticket execution to building new features.
  • Contribute to modernizing identity and authentication infrastructure (SSO, OAuth, SAML, MFA, x509).

Here’s what you’ll need to be successful in this role:

  • 8+ years of software development experience designing and shipping production systems.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Java (strong Scala experience also welcome).
  • Hands-on experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Git).
  • Strong foundation in software design patterns and distributed systems.
  • Experience with automated testing frameworks (Selenium or Playwright).
  • Solid understanding of the full SDLC, from requirements to performance analysis.
  • Bachelor’s degree in CS or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Practical experience with modern authentication/authorization standards:
  • OAuth, SAML, SSO, MFA, x509
  • Experience deploying applications to AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Comfortable working within Agile/Scrum teams.
