Backend Integration Engineer

Full-time
  • Location: San Francisco, California, United States
  • Remote: Remote
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #26101
  • If you enjoy building the “plumbing” that makes a security product  actually work —auth flows, brittle third‑party APIs, weird edge cases, and pulling reliable signals out of messy systems—this role is built for you.

    You’ll join a fast‑growing, Series A security & compliance SaaS company building a platform that continuously monitors customer cloud environments and connected tools to detect misconfigurations, risky access, encryption gaps, exposed storage, and compliance drift. Your focus: the integrations layer that powers those detections.

    What you’ll build (the low-level, technical work)

    You’ll build and own production integrations connecting the platform to:

    • Cloud provider APIs (AWS/GCP/Azure) for inventory, configuration, and security posture signals
    • Third‑party security / SaaS tools with APIs that evolve, rate-limit, paginate, and sometimes break
    • Authentication + identity flows across systems: OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, service accounts, signed creds, API keys

    This is not “hit an endpoint and map JSON.” It’s:

    • designing resilient ingestion + normalization pipelines
    • dealing with  unstable schemas partial failures , retries/backoff, and idempotency
    • building  observability (logs/metrics/alerts) so you can detect when a provider changes behavior
    • caring about  data quality and coverage , because downstream security features depend on it

    What you’ll do

    • Build and maintain integrations with  AWS, GCP, Azure and third‑party services
    • Normalize and validate data across providers so signals are consistent and trustworthy
    • Implement and maintain authentication patterns (OAuth/OIDC/API keys/service accounts)
    • Ensure integrations are reliable and operable in production (retries, monitoring, alerting, runbooks)
    • Write clear documentation for mappings, behaviors, and troubleshooting
    • Collaborate closely with product/engineering to ensure integrations deliver what detections need

    What we’re looking for (hard requirements)

    • Recent, production Go (Golang) experience (recency matters) ideally or ability to quickly move to Go from C++ OR C# OR C or other low level languages
    • Real-world  REST API integration experience (pagination, rate limits, evolving schemas, quirks)
    • Exposure to at least one of  AWS or GCP or Azure APIs/SDKs (not just “hosted on AWS”)
    • SQL (hands-on querying; ideally some schema ownership too)
    • Concrete experience with  OAuth 2.0 / OIDC / service accounts / signed credentials
    • Strong reliability instincts: monitoring/logging/alerting + robust error handling
    • Experience operating a  SaaS backend (not a one-off integration project)

    Nice-to-haves

    • Security domain familiarity (IAM, identity, audit trails, compliance)
    • Integration testing approaches (contract tests, sandbox strategies, debuggability)
    • Background in compiled, strongly typed languages (Go preferred; Rust/Java/C#/C++ also relevant)

    Next steps

    Interested in building endpoint software and/or transitioning into Go while staying close to systems-level engineering?

    Apply with your CV, and we’ll come back quickly to arrange a first conversation.
