  • Work with cross-functional and peer teams to deliver large-scale projects with cross-team dependencies

What you need:

  • 5+ years of relevant engineering experience
  • Proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and Node.js, with practical experience developing and improving Node.js applications
  • Experience with SQL and web protocols such as REST, SOAP, XML, and JSON
  • Hands-on experience with security architecture and identity protocols such as LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, SSO, OAuth2, and OpenID Connect
  • Worked with access control models such as RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC

Compensation & Benefits:

  • 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.
