Senior Software Engineer - Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM)

Senior Software Engineer - Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM)

About the Role

This is a hands-on technical leadership role at the intersection of identity security and distributed systems engineering. You'll write code, design systems, set technical standards, and mentor engineers — while partnering closely with Product Management to define what we build next.

You'll own the full stack: backend services that continuously evaluate millions of identity configurations, a frontend used daily by enterprise security teams, and the data infrastructure that powers posture scoring and proactive risk remediation.

What You'll Do

• Technical Strategy & Leadership

• Direct the ISPM technical roadmap by converting product requirements into robust system designs, mapping out implementation phases, and making strategic build-vs-extend decisions.

• Architect, design, and scale core identity security posture systems.

• Cultivate and drive cross-functional technical alliances with platform teams across the security and identity stack.

• Author, review, and evaluate technical design documents while facilitating architectural discussions and design reviews.

• Establish, promote, and uphold engineering best practices across the sub-team, focusing on testing, code quality, API design, and observability.

• Software Engineering & Architecture

• Construct and scale high-performance backend services using Go including event-driven systems, REST/gRPC APIs, cron jobs, and integration layers.

• Build and maintain user-facing interfaces using React/TypeScript focusing on policy dashboards, identity visualization, and mitigation workflows.

• Design, model, and optimize database schemas capable of handling large-scale multi-tenant identity workloads.

• Implement event-driven architectures using Kafka as a message queue to manage asynchronous workflows and ensure continuous evaluation of identity postures.

• Maintain operational reliability and service health through standard runbooks, feature flags, and robust monitoring setups.

• Team Collaboration & Delivery

• Support, mentor, and guide a distributed team of 3-4 engineers located across India and Singapore.

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and EM to align on technical strategy, prioritize roadmaps, and deliver quarterly key results and milestones.

• Own operational health for all services on-call rotation, incident response, and SLO management

• Serve as the team representative during organization
