What You'll Do 

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to play a pivotal role in the security and identity foundation of the NetDocuments platform. As a senior technical leader on the Accounts team, you'll drive the architecture, design, and delivery of the systems that underpin authentication, authorization, access control, and directory services for our global customer base. 

This is a hands-on engineering role at its core. You'll spend the majority of your time writing production-grade code while also shaping technical direction, mentoring engineers, and collaborating across teams to solve complex, high-stakes problems in the identity and access management space. 

 

Technical Leadership & Architecture 

  • Set technical direction for the Accounts team, establishing patterns for secure, scalable, and observable systems running on AWS. 
  • Lead architectural decisions across authentication and authorization domains. 
  • Guide and influence cross-team initiatives from concept to completion, leading design and code reviews, and championing security and operational robustness. 
  • Drive initiatives that improve reliability, performance, and scalability while actively managing cloud costs and operational efficiency. 
  • Make sound architectural decisions by clearly articulating trade-offs and reasoning that holds up over time. 

Product Design and Build 

  • Build and maintain production-grade services using C#/.NET and microservices architecture on AWS. 
  • Design and implement event-driven systems using Kafka and distributed streaming patterns. 
  • Architect cloud-native solutions on AWS that balance reliability, maintainability, performance, and cost. 
  • Design and build secure, scalable integrations across internal and external systems. 
  • Translate complex functional and non-functional requirements into secure, reliable software solutions. 

Problem Solving & Ownership 

  • Take full ownership of initiatives from concept through production and ongoing operation. 
  • Frame and clarify ambiguous problems, driving them forward with minimal guidance. 
  • Proactively identify and address technical debt before it impacts the team or customers. 
  • Resolve complex technical challenges across distributed, high-availability systems with sound judgment and clear reasoning. 

Build and Optimize Systems 

  • Write high-quality, well-tested, maintainable code with a strong emphasis on long-term reliability. 
  • Design resilient systems that maintain uptime and performance as we scale globally. 
  • Implement robust observability through logging, metrics, tracing, and telemetry. 
  • Monitor and optimize platform performance at scale, identifying bottlenecks and implementing solutions. 
  • Create comprehensive technical documentation including architectural diagrams and design decisions. 

Collaboration & Mentorship 

  • Partner closely with Product Management and cross-functional engineering teams to define and deliver solutions. 
  • Demonstrate technical leadership through mentorship, coaching, and raising the engineering bar via design reviews, best practices, and operational rigor. 
  • Influence technical direction and build consensus across teams without relying on authority, bringing clarity to ambiguous problem spaces. 
  • Champion security, operational robustness, and engineering quality across the team and beyond. 
  • Contribute to hiring and team development. 

Continuous Learning & Innovation 

  • Stay current with industry trends in identity, security, cloud-native architecture, and distributed systems. 
  • Research and validate new ideas through proofs of concept aligned with product strategy. 
  • Contribute improvements to engineering processes, tooling, and development practices. 
  • Share knowledge through code reviews, design discussions, and documentation. 

 

What You'll Need to Be Successful 

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field. 
  • 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience delivering production systems at scale. 
  • Expert proficiency in C#/.NET. 
  • Strong experience building microservices and operating in event-driven architecture. 
  • Hands-on experience designing and building authentication and authorization systems. 
  • Experience with distributed streaming platforms such as Kafka. 
  • Deep database expertise across both SQL and NoSQL, including hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and DynamoDB. 
  • Strong AWS public cloud experience; familiarity with Azure is a plus. 
  • Expert proficiency with Datadog for observability, including dashboards, monitors, distributed tracing, and log management. 
  • Familiarity with Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts and patterns. 
  • Proven ability to mentor engineers and lead technical initiatives across teams. 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across functions and influence outcomes without direct authority. 
  • Proven track record of leading technical efforts that span multiple teams or system boundaries. 

 

What Will Make You Stand Out 

  • Deep experience with fine-grained access control models including Relationship-Based Access Control (ReBAC), RBAC, ABAC, and policy-based access. 
  • Experience integrating with or building on Identity Provider (IdP) platforms such as Okta, Microsoft Entra, or IdentityServer. 
  • Proven experience operating security-sensitive systems in regulated or enterprise environments, with a strong grasp of security risk management practices including threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, and security-by-design principles applied across identity infrastructure, credential management, and audit-logging systems. 
  • Legal industry experience or familiarity with enterprise content management platforms, including an understanding of how legal professionals manage sensitive documents, matter-based workflows, and client confidentiality requirements. 
  • Familiarity with enterprise compliance frameworks and data privacy regulations including SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA, with the ability to translate compliance requirements into concrete engineering decisions.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
