Senior Software Engineer

You’ll be joining one of the UK-based, remote engineering teams, helping design and build capabilities for the Atlas platform. As a smaller team with a backend focus, you will be a key contributor. We are ramping up a new initiative to build a platform service that will allow our applications to define policies, make decisions, and react to changes based on a combination of historical and near real-time data in our Identity Graph. We’re designing for many millions of identities and, in some cases, low millisecond response times, to make critical access decisions. In a typical day you’ll be working in Golang to deliver on the vision for the policy engine. You’ll design and develop microservices collaborating with product management, UI, UX, test, and architects both within the UK teams and around the world.

Must Have

• Produce designs and rough estimates, and implement features based on product requirements
• Deliver efficient, maintainable, robust features
• Collaborate with peers on designs, code reviews, and testing
• Produce unit and end-to-end tests to ensure code quality
• Participate in 24x7 on-call support rota (roughly 1 week in 20)
• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Collaborative, approachable and articulate
• Experience with Microservices & SaaS
• Expertise in Golang, including concurrency, goroutines & channels
• Experience with Testing & Debugging, including unit & integration tests
• Familiarity with debug & performance profiling tools
• BSc in Computer Science or similar or equivalent work experience

Good to Have

• Experience with policy languages such as Rego or Cedar
• Experience with cloud databases such as Amazon DynamoDB, Aurora or Snowflake
• Experience with data platform tools such as Apache Flink and Kafka

About the team

You’ll be joining one of the UK-based, remote engineering teams, helping design and build capabilities for the Atlas platform. As a smaller team with a backend focus, you will be a key contributor. We usually have a one- or two-day, in-person meetup with the other UK remote engineering teams once per quarter.

The role

We are ramping up a new initiative to build a platform service that will allow our applications to define policies, make decisions, and react to changes based on a combination of historical and near real-time data in our Identity Graph.

In a typical day you’ll be working in Golang to deliver on the vision for the policy engine. You’ll design and develop microservices collaborating with product management, UI, UX, test, and architects both within the UK teams and around the world. Sometimes you’ll be working with specialists, like the Data Science Team when working on AI-related features.

In 90 days, you’d be on-boarded and landing work in collaboration with the tech lead.

In 6 months, you’d be operating with a high degree of autonomy to deliver on the team goals.

In 1 year, you’d be a Subject Matter Expert able to run projects as the team grows.
