- **Published:** September 5, 2026
- **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/senior-software-engineer-identity-and-access-management-full-stack-deepl-com-9639848

## About the Role

* Backend Mastery at Scale (C# / .NET): You have deep expertise designing scalable backend systems and distributed architectures, and you've worked with high-scale distributed systems in production. Strong system design is core to how you work. Roughly 80-90% of the work is backend; working on the frontend (React/Javascript) is a welcome plus, not a requirement
 * Enterprise Domain Curiosity: You are interested in the hard problems of B2B SaaS Identity - authentication (SSO/OIDC), authorization, and requirements such as security and auditing. You understand that these aren't "boring details"; they are the pillars of trust for enterprise clients
 * AI-Native Velocity: You leverage AI-powered tools (like GitHub Copilot or Claude) to accelerate your velocity and eliminate repetitive toil. You use AI for boilerplate code, test generation, and debugging, allowing you to focus your cognitive energy on high-value architectural decisions and complex problem-solving

## Description

* Own the Identity Experience End-to-End: You will architect and build complex, user-facing features across our identity stack. You will own business-critical systems from the initial problem definition through to architectural design, deployment, and production reliability. You measure success by user impact, not just pull requests merged
 * Build for "Consumer-Grade" Enterprise: You understand that authentication and authorization systems cannot fail. You build for reliability and maintainability, while delivering a user-friendly experience. You will lead incident response, and continuously raise the bar on code quality and operational health
 * Collaborate to Raise the Bar: You will work closely with teammates across Identity and adjacent teams - other product teams, Product Management and Support. You will lead designs, scoping, shaping, and solving hard product and technical challenges in collaboration with your team and other engineers
 * Drive Technical Pragmatism: Whether using our core stack (C#/.NET Core, Kubernetes, Postgres) or exploring new tools, you choose the technology that solves the customer problem most effectively, ensuring long-term maintainability over short-term trends. You use AI for boilerplate code, test generation, and debugging, allowing you to focus your cognitive energy on high-value architectural decisions and complex problem-solving
