Proven track record designing, building, and operating high-traffic, highly available web services.
Strong proficiency in Java, C++, C#, or similar object-oriented languages.
Experience with RESTful web services and service-oriented architectures.
Proficiency with at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation and tooling.
Preferred Qualifications
Domain knowledge of Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts.
Hands-on experience with public cloud platforms (Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, etc.).
Experience with multi-AD/AZ architectures and regional data center designs.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment frameworks.
Experience with Docker or containerized service development.
Background in security, including threat modeling or risk assessment.
Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP or PCI DSS.
Experience collaborating with internal customers and driving roadmap priorities.
Why Join Us
