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.
