Senior Software Engineer- Account Access & Controls

Required

• 5+ years of industry experience building and operating backend or distributed systems at scale.

• Reliability-Focused: You understand what it means to own hot-path infrastructure. You make changes safe through rollouts, validation, and fast rollback.
• Collaborative: You enjoy working across teams and product areas, and you’re comfortable translating ambiguous policy or regulatory requirements into concrete technical designs.
