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.
