Description

Opal is building the next generation of access management. As engineers, we've all felt the pain of getting the access we need to do our jobs, whether it's for a piece of infrastructure, a newly deployed service, or a design doc. At Opal, we’re building a central hub for authorization to simplify this spaghetti mess and make best-practice access management automated, intelligent, and easy to use.

We’re tackling a difficult product and engineering challenge. Every system has its own philosophy for access control, which makes orchestrating them with a consistent set of policies challenging. We need talented engineers who can navigate this technically complex space and help us design and build the right abstractions to solve such a universal problem.

Your responsibilities

• You will make contributions to all parts of our tech stack, which comprises Kubernetes, Golang, Postgres, Redis, GraphQL, TypeScript, and React

• You will work closely with leadership, our product team, and other engineers in roadmapping, architecture, and product discussions

• You won’t burn out — we’re building a great product while creating a fun, family-friendly, and remote-friendly culture

Our ideal candidate

• Can take a broad mandate and design/build a system end-to-end to implement it

• Can work full stack, is comfortable with frontend and backend work

• Has 3+ years experience as a full-time software developer or equivalent experience

• Thrives in ambiguous environments with significant ownership and with the opportunity to make decisions that have a huge impact on the business

Our benefits

• Hybrid work: we have offices in SF and NY but fully support remote hires

• Early employee equity

• Biannual retreat: we meet somewhere around the world twice a year, all expenses paid

• Unlimited PTO + 10 company holidays

• Health, vision, and dental insurance

• Weekly meal plan for coffee and lunch

• Travel reimbursement

• 401k plan

Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds rarely apply unless they meet all the job criteria. We aren’t looking for someone who ticks every single box on a page; we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. If you think you’d be a great fit, then please get in touch to tell us about yourself. Opal is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
