Job description

Overview

Principal Software Engineer on a small team building the connectors framework for the Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) product, integrating the platform with enterprise and SaaS systems.

What you'll do

  • Contribute to architecture and system design for connector services: APIs, integration patterns, data flows, and operational boundaries.
  • Harden and scale the framework and related microservices for performance, fault tolerance, and maintainability.
  • Work in an AI first environment and help drive AI adoption across the team.
  • Partner with product and engineering peers on technical trade-offs, roadmap alignment, and production readiness.
  • Participate in code review, design discussion, and incident learning; help raise engineering quality across the team.

What you'll need

  • Approximately 8+ years in software engineering, with sustained ownership of production services from design through deployment and ongoing operation.
  • Strong grounding in software and systems design (abstractions, contracts, failure modes, scalability, and security implications).
  • Hands-on experience working in an AI first environment and working with SDD methodology.
  • Hands-on experience shipping and operating microservices on AWS in production.
  • Relevant technical depth in integration or connector-style systems (sync and incremental jobs, retries, idempotency, backpressure, rate limits); distributed backends at meaningful scale.
  • Demonstrated impact such as improving reliability, performance, or security with clear outcomes; active participation in design reviews; and production accountability.
  • Identity or IGA-adjacent domain knowledge: user and entitlement lifecycle, provisioning and deprovisioning, access reviews, integrations with HRIS / ITSM / directories, SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM, and familiarity with audit, compliance, and least-privilege concerns in access systems.
