  • Implement identity synchronization and lifecycle management solutions using SCIM and other relevant standards.
  • Work with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes, etc.) to deliver scalable, high-availability applications.
  • Build and maintain high-quality enterprise software using TypeScript, REST APIs, and JSON.

About You:

  • Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript, React, and Node.js.
  • Strong knowledge of security architecture, LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, SSO, OAuth2, OpenID Connect and web protocols like XML, SOAP, JSON, and REST.
  • Familiarity with access control models such as RBAC, ABAC and ReBAC.  
  • Experience with SQL.
  • Practical experience developing and improving applications written in Node.js.
  • Exhibit excellent problem-solving abilities and effective communication skills, especially when collaborating with diverse teams.

Benefits & Compensation:

  • Competitive compensation package, including equity.
  • Inclusive Healthcare Package.
  • Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
  • Flexible Time Off.
  • We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $196,000-$294,000. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location.
