Staff Software Engineer

CyberArk, a global leader in Identity Security, is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the evolution of a large Angular application for its Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) experience. This role focuses on frontend and UX architecture, requiring end-to-end systems thinking, including APIs, data models, performance, security, and operational constraints in a multi-tenant enterprise SaaS environment. The engineer will shape frontend direction, mentor engineers, and collaborate with Product, Design, Security, and Backend teams to deliver a modern, accessible, and secure experience that scales.

Must Have

• Lead Angular modernization (e.g., standalone components, signals, typed forms, modern control flow).
• Own frontend architecture (e.g., state management, data flow, dependency injection, module boundaries).
• Raise the bar on quality (e.g., testability with Jest/Testing Library, end-to-end reliability with Playwright/Cypress, performance, accessibility WCAG 2.2 AA).
• Design for security by default (e.g., authN/authZ, secure storage, data handling, browser defense-in-depth).
• Partner with backend engineers to shape API contracts, pagination, error models, and performance SLAs.
• Operationalize the frontend (e.g., observability, feature flags, release health, error budgets, progressive delivery).
• Mentor and uplevel engineers on Angular, testing, performance, accessibility, and security.
• Drive alignment through clear communication and collaboration with product managers and designers.
• Significant experience building and maintaining complex Angular applications in production.
• Strong opinions on component composition, state management, data fetching, error handling, and performance optimization.
• Comfortable reasoning across layers (frontend, APIs, data, identity, observability, operations).
• Practical understanding of secure web app development (OWASP Top 10, CSP, SSRF/CSRF mitigations, input validation).
• Track record improving accessibility and performance in ways that scale with the team.
• Clear communicator who enjoys mentoring, facilitating design sessions, and influencing outcomes.

Good to Have

• Experience with Identity & Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), IGA, secrets management, or security‑centric products.
• Familiarity with design systems at scale and cross‑product component governance.
• Experience with observability, feature flagging, and progressive delivery in CI/CD.
• Fluency with TypeScript, RxJS, Signals, and modern testing stacks (Jest/Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress).

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the evolution of a large Angular application at the heart of our Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) experience. While this role centers on frontend and UX architecture, it is grounded in end‑to‑end systems thinking—making UI decisions with a clear understanding of APIs, data models, performance, security, privacy, and operational constraints typical of multi‑tenant enterprise SaaS.

You will act as a technical and cultural force multiplier: shaping frontend direction, mentoring engineers, and partnering across Product, Design, Security, and Backend teams to deliver a modern, accessible, and secure experience that scales.

What You’ll Do

• Lead Angular modernization: migrate toward modern Angular idioms and capabilities (e.g., standalone components, signals, typed forms, modern control flow), improving component design, reusability, and architectural clarity.
• Own frontend architecture: establish durable patterns for state management (e.g., NgRx or equivalent), data flow, dependency injection, and module boundaries that make change safe and fast.
• Raise the bar on quality: improve testability (Jest/Testing Library), end‑to‑end reliability (Playwright/Cypress), performance (Core Web Vitals, bundle strategy, SSR/ISR where appropriate), and accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) through repeatable engineering practices.
• Design for security by default: embed secure‑by‑design principles—robust authN/authZ (OIDC/OAuth2, RBAC), secure storage and data handling, defense‑in‑depth for the browser (CSP, CSRF protections)—and UX that reinforces least privilege.
• Partner across the stack: collaborate with backend engineers to shape API contracts (REST/GraphQL), pagination/streaming strategies, error models, and performance SLAs; ensure UI architecture reflects real system behavior and scale.
• Operationalize the frontend: champion observability (OpenTelemetry/logging), feature flags, release health, error budgets, and progressive delivery in CI/CD to keep quality high while shipping quickly.
• Mentor and uplevel: lead design reviews and architecture discussions; coach engineers on Angular, testing, performance, accessibility, and security; help evolve our design system and UX maturity.
• Drive alignment: build trust through clear communication, lightweight RFCs, and collaboration with product managers and designers; influence without authority.

Qualifications

• Deep Angular experience: significant experience building and maintaining complex Angular applications in production, including modernization of long‑lived codebases with incremental, low‑disruption change.
• Modern frontend architecture POV: strong opinions—loosely held—on component composition, state management, data fetching, error handling, and performance optimization for large enterprise apps.
• Systems thinker: comfortable reasoning across layers (frontend, APIs, data, identity, observability, operations) to make trade‑offs explicit and decisions durable.
• Security mindset: practical understanding of secure web app development (OWASP Top 10, CSP, SSRF/CSRF mitigations, input validation) and how UX can reinforce Zero Trust and Least Privilege.
• Quality and accessibility: track record improving accessibility and performance in ways that scale with the team; familiarity with WCAG conformance and automated tooling.
• Collaboration & communication: clear communicator who enjoys mentoring, facilitating design sessions, and influencing outcomes across teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Identity & Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), IGA, secrets management, or security‑centric products.
• Familiarity with design systems at scale and cross‑product component governance.
• Experience with observability, feature flagging, and progressive delivery in CI/CD.
• Fluency with TypeScript, RxJS, Signals, and modern testing stacks (Jest/Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress).

Impact

This role offers the opportunity to shape both the technical foundation and the engineering culture behind a flagship CyberArk IGA experience. You will help turn the frontend into a durable platform that teams can build on with confidence—advancing our modernization effort and delivering secure, accessible, high‑performance experiences that customers trust.
