Backed by top-tier investors and scaling rapidly, we're on a mission to make security effortless.

Role Summary

We are seeking a Principal Full Stack Engineer who can independently design, build, and scale features from end to end. This role requires deep technical expertise across infrastructure, application architecture, modern authentication, and performance observability.

You'll be the most senior IC engineer on the team, next to the VP of Engineering, and expected to operate with a senior mentality: owning initiatives, anticipating issues before they surface, and working the extra hours needed to build something exceptional. You should be just as comfortable building CI/CD pipelines in Azure as you are debugging distributed systems and designing elegant front-end experiences.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, unstructured environments and wants to shape the future of a mission-critical SaaS platform to organizations across regulated industries.

What You'll Do

• Build and ship full-stack features with minimal guidance—from the database to the UI.
• Contribute to building and scaling a modern B2B SaaS platform serving enterprise customers.
• Contribute to technical leadership in architecture, infrastructure, and design decisions across the platform.
• Own Azure infrastructure, including service deployment, monitoring, scaling, and cost optimization.
• Improve and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment strategies.
• Design and implement secure, modern authentication flows (SAML, OIDC, OAuth2).
• Optimize database performance, write advanced SQL, and ensure data integrity at scale.
• Set up and maintain logging, tracing, and performance monitoring using OpenTelemetry and tools like DataDog, Grafana, or Splunk.
• Deliver clean, component-based front-end interfaces (Blazor preferred, React/Vue/Angular acceptable).
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and leadership to influence roadmap and priority decisions.
• Raise the technical bar for the engineering org through hands-on mentorship, documentation, and technical rigor.
• Take initiative to fix what's broken, challenge assumptions, and build things the right way—even when it's hard.
• Own and evolve database schema and performance strategy using Azure SQL and cloud-native tools.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including deep .NET Core expertise
• Proven ability to build and extend applications end-to-end (database, back-end, front-end, DevOps).
• Strong backend-first mindset with a focus on scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Experience with B2B SaaS product architecture and delivery cycles.
• Proven track record of shipping customer-facing features in fast-moving product environments.
• Expertise in Azure (App Services, Azure SQL, Storage, Key Vault, App Insights, etc.).
• Strong experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code.
• Hands-on experience with SAML and OIDC for authentication and authorization.
• Advanced SQL skills and experience with database performance tuning.
• Familiarity with observability and performance monitoring tools: OpenTelemetry, DataDog, Grafana, Splunk, etc.
• Strong knowledge of front-end frameworks (Blazor preferred, but React/Vue/Angular acceptable).
• Exceptional communication skills and ability to operate as a technical leader.
• Proficiency with modern JavaScript (ES6+) and OOP design in client-side applications.

Attitude & Mindset

• Startup mentality: high urgency, high accountability, and a bias for action.
• You take full ownership of problems, of outcomes, of raising the bar.
• You mentor others without ego, receive feedback with openness, and give it with care.
• You're resourceful, gritty, and unafraid to dive deep into a problem until it's solved.
