Software Engineer, Identity

Compensation
$140,000–$190,000/year

Job Description

The Identity team is responsible for the platforms that manage user access and data confidentiality for customers. As a Software Engineer on the team, you will take on a dynamic role, developing core customer-facing identity products, such as authentication/authorization, user account security, and encryption key management. We move quickly to solve a wide range of complex technical and product challenges. While we are an experienced team that can provide constant guidance and mentorship, we value engineers who can autonomously scope and solve complex technical challenges.

You will

  • Design and build product features for enterprise customers, such as AI-powered anomaly detection for payment fraud and account takeovers, granular access control and identity management, and bring-your-own-key encryption.
  • Work closely with cross-functional product and customer-facing teams to understand requirements and ship thoughtful solutions.
  • Work closely with our customers’ security teams (e.g., Discover, Snowflake, and Anthropic) to understand their needs and learn how they assess risk.
  • Build guardrails, tooling, frameworks, and automation to empower software engineers to ship secure changes and prevent vulnerabilities from reaching the main branch.
  • Design and build scalable frontend applications and components.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 2+ years of experience in a software engineering role. This role requires software development experience.
  • Experience with web application and API development in production environments. At Zip, our stack includes Python, Typescript, React, and GraphQL.
  • Experience in enterprise SaaS, fintech, software security best practices, and compliance frameworks is a bonus, but not required.
