Software Engineer - CIAM

Summary

Join CircleCI as a Software Engineer specializing in Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM). You will design, build, and maintain services crucial to CircleCI's product, focusing on user identity, access management, login sessions, API authentication, and secure credentials. This fully remote role involves collaborating with a global team, participating in on-call support, and incident management. The CIAM team is part of the Foundations division, responsible for the entire user identity experience within CircleCI. You will work on exciting projects like Single Sign-On (SSO) and advanced authorization features. The role requires experience building reliable, distributed systems and a strong understanding of observability tools. CircleCI offers a competitive salary and benefits package.

Requirements

• 3-5 years as a full time professional developer with experience building reliable, zero-downtime, observable distributed systems
• The utmost care in regards to how your code runs in production. You have familiarity with observability tools like Honeycomb, Datadog, Graylog, and Rollbar, and understand how to use that information to address a problem
• Ability to write code that’s easily readable, testable, maintainable, and documented
• Interest in improving the lives of our customers and the team, and can use just enough code with a keen eye on constraining complexity. We use Go primarily, but you'll also encounter TypeScript, and Clojure - all deployed into Kubernetes and as agents on our compute fleet
• Ability to learn and think critically about both system design and software engineering concepts and blend those perspectives pragmatically based on project needs
• Ability to quickly adapt when priorities change and making conscious tradeoffs with incomplete information

Responsibilities

• Design and build new features, simplify existing services, automate and scale our systems as we continue to rapidly grow and evolve
• Write sustainable, testable, high-quality, high-performance code
• Support, maintain, and debug production microservices in a highly complex distributed system
• Champion a culture of observability and monitoring by using operational data to help your team improve the stability and performance of our systems
• Partner with members of a cross-functional team and other partners to set the direction of our platform and product: learn about our business problems, explore solutions, weigh design tradeoffs, and prioritize them to deliver maximum value in a sustainable, incremental fashion

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with identity management systems, OAuth, OIDC, JWTs and/or React with Next.js
• Working transparently and collaboratively within a distributed team
• Favor toward regular, incremental delivery over precision
• Striving for continuous learning and improvement for yourself and your team
• Passionate about ensuring that all of our systems—software and human—scale smoothly
