Developer, Authorization

This is an intermediate software development role focused on building foundational authorization infrastructure for a growing cybersecurity platform. You’ll contribute to systems that determine which people and services can access resources and perform actions across a complex product ecosystem.

About the role

Working primarily with Go, you’ll build secure, maintainable, and well-tested software while navigating an established codebase. You’ll own small-to-medium projects from planning and implementation through testing, release, and ongoing support. The role offers close collaboration with engineering, product, customer support, and other technical partners in a remote-first environment that values thoughtful use of AI, strong security practices, continuous learning, and clear communication.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship new features, product improvements, and bug fixes within the authorization team’s codebase.
• Own small-to-medium scoped development projects with minimal oversight, taking responsibility from planning through completion and post-release support.
• Develop and maintain authorization services and APIs that support secure access controls, permissions, and identity-related workflows.
• Participate throughout the software development lifecycle, including planning, implementation, testing, release, monitoring, and production support.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to improving testing strategies, engineering practices, and documentation.
• Navigate existing code and established architectural patterns effectively while identifying and proposing thoughtful improvements where appropriate.
• Conduct constructive code reviews that strengthen software quality, maintainability, security, and team delivery.
• Collaborate with teammates, customer support, and other internal partners to investigate production issues and incorporate customer feedback into product priorities.
• Communicate progress clearly, raise blockers early, and ensure relevant stakeholders understand project outcomes and technical decisions.
• Contribute to developer productivity initiatives, including improvements to tooling, CI/CD, testing, and documentation.
• Participate in production support, on-call, or incident-response activities as needed.
• Use AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully and responsibly to improve productivity, code quality, research, and problem-solving while maintaining appropriate human oversight and security standards.

Requirements

• Proven software development experience with strong proficiency in Go and the technical skills required to work independently on production software.
• Experience building or working with authorization, identity, access-control, or permissions systems, with a solid understanding of how secure access decisions are designed and implemented.
• Ability to work effectively within an established codebase, understand existing patterns, and introduce improvements without unnecessary complexity.
• Strong quality mindset, with demonstrated attention to testing, maintainability, reliability, security, and clear technical documentation.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to share progress, surface risks and blockers, explain technical concepts, and collaborate effectively with stakeholders.
• Collaborative approach and openness to feedback, with the ability to incorporate constructive input and contribute positively to technical discussions.
• Ability to take ownership of projects and deliver independently while knowing when to seek guidance or involve teammates.
• Experience supporting production systems and participating in on-call or incident-response rotations is a plus.
• Familiarity with developer productivity improvements involving tooling, CI/CD, automated testing, or documentation is advantageous.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities evolve and continuous improvement is expected.
• Interest in applying AI tools thoughtfully across software development workflows while maintaining high standards for security, privacy, and engineering quality.

Benefits

• U.S. base salary: $123,000–$172,000 USD annually.
• Equity grant and, where applicable, participation in incentive programs.
• Comprehensive health and dental benefits.
• 401(k) and retirement matching programs.
• Generous paid time off policy.
