About Us We operate as a fully distributed team — no headquarters, no in-office requirement. You choose the environment where you do your best work.

The Role We're looking for a backend-focused software engineer who is passionate about building secure, scalable infrastructure from the ground up.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Join a small, senior team at the early stages of building a product from scratch
  • Convert product requirements into thorough technical design documentation
  • Architect and implement backend services built to handle enterprise-scale demand
  • Design systems with high availability and fault tolerance in mind
  • Embed security thinking at every layer — application, API, and infrastructure
  • Own API design across both public-facing and internal service boundaries, including schema modeling and integration patterns
  • Work cross-functionally with product and design stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle
  • Thrive in a remote-first environment using a blend of synchronous video calls and async communication
  • Stay current with emerging technologies and approach new challenges with genuine curiosity
  • Take part in engineering hiring by conducting interviews and evaluating candidates


Requirements

What We're Looking For

Core qualifications:

  • Strong working knowledge of Go
  • Hands-on background with microservices and service-oriented architecture
  • Comfort writing raw SQL and designing relational database schemas, preferably in Postgres
  • Practical experience with CI/CD workflows and container orchestration via Kubernetes
  • Prior work building observability tooling — metrics pipelines, alerting systems, and distributed tracing

Nice to have:

  • Working knowledge of modern auth protocols such as OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC, or WebAuthn
  • Exposure to corporate IT and security tooling (device management, endpoint protection, etc.)
  • Experience designing and maintaining audit log systems
  • Familiarity with regulatory and compliance frameworks (e.g. SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA)
  • Understanding of PKI infrastructure and certificate management




Benefits

Benefits & Perks

  • Fully remote, with core overlap expected during North American business hours
  • Twice-yearly in-person team gatherings
  • Flexible, open vacation policy — with a genuine expectation that you use at least two weeks annually
  • 16 company-designated holidays per year, including a winter break period
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their dependents
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave
