Elite Software Engineer

Elite Software Engineer Houston, TX Test Infrastructure, Software Development, Automation Fulltime Allthenticate is changing the way security feels and functions, prioritizing usability to create the most enjoyable experience for our users. Imagine a security product that's not just necessary but a delight to use. That's what we live for. We're looking for more brilliant people to join our world-class team. Let us know why you are the teammate that we've all be dreaming about working with. What You'll Do You'll build the systems that let us ship security software fearlessly. Our product spans a Rust core, a FastAPI backend, a Vue 3 web app, a desktop application with various low-level authentication integrations, and a Flutter mobile app — and every one of them has to work perfectly, every single time, because people use us to unlock their doors and their laptops. You'll write real features across that stack and build the test infrastructure that proves they work, so the whole team can move fast without breaking the things that matter. Responsibilities You'll work across our stack and own the quality of what we ship. Expect to be doing a subset of the following: Designing and building end-to-end test infrastructure with Playwright, Selenium, and Docker that runs reliably in CI and locally Shipping features across the stack — FastAPI services in Python, performance-critical work in Rust, Vue 3 interfaces, and Dart for mobile Building test harnesses for hardware-backed authentication flows, including Bluetooth and cryptographic key handling Containerizing test environments so a full system can be spun up, exercised, and torn down on demand Hunting down flaky tests and race conditions, and fixing the root cause instead of the symptom Reviewing code across languages and raising the engineering bar for everyone around you What We're Looking For An insatiable desire to build something awesome Strong experience building automated test infrastructure with tools like Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or pytest Fluency in Python and comfort with a typed systems language — Rust experience is a big plus Hands-on experience with Docker and modern CI/CD pipelines Familiarity with a modern frontend framework — we use Vue 3 — and a willingness to work in Dart for mobile A generalist streak: you'd rather learn the unfamiliar part of the stack than hand the problem to someone else A willingness to learn new skills and teach others what you already know Ideal Superpowers Experience testing across platforms — web, desktop, iOS, and Android — from a single suite Async Python at scale (asyncio, FastAPI, WebSockets) Rust in production, especially FFI or cross-compilation to mobile targets Testing Bluetooth, embedded, or other hardware-in-the-loop systems Knowledge of authentication, cryptographic paradigms, and general security concepts A history of open-source contributions, CTF wins, or side projects you can't stop talking about Benefits 100% employer covered health, dental and vision insurance Equity grant 401k with company matching Flexible working hours Opportunity to be a major contributor to world-changing technology Work with a fun, inclusive, and accomplished team Vibrant company culture with regular team activities (e.g., team dinners, pickleball, volleyball, escape rooms, and paintball) What We Offer If you strive to be the best in the world in your craft then this is the right place for you! You can expect a job that is challenging, fun, and team oriented. While working at Allthenticate, you can expect to always be doing hard things. We are trying to crack one of the hardest problems in Computer Science (secure, usable key management), and nothing about that is easy. We'll be spending a lot of time together and we want to make sure that every minute of that is as pleasurable as possible. We have regular social outings to make sure we get to know each on a personal level and we are very flexible with hours to do our best to maximize happiness. We are taking on some of the hardest problems on earth — it's going to take more than a few smart people — it takes an elite team.
