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 organizational alignment, review sessions, and client interactions. Must-Have
Qualifications 7+ years of software development experience, including at least 2+ years in a tech lead or senior technical leadership role Proven track record of mentoring engineers and elevating the overall technical standards of
