Senior Back-End Engineer...

We are looking for a remote, full-time Senior Back-End Engineer with 5+ years of back-end software experience, including API and domain model design as well as JavaScript and Node.js development, to join our U.S. client's Platform Engineering team. The ideal candidate will design, build, and deliver high-quality, performant back-end services that power a world-class compliance and trust automation platform. The Platform Engineering team focuses on core components, such as authentication, RBAC, data architecture, and back-end infrastructure, ensuring reliability, performance, and scalability across the product suite.

Our client makes trust-building in business relationships effortless. With greater trust comes greater business growth. At their core, our clients take the drudgery out of compliance by automating critical compliance activities and bringing joy to a traditionally drab space. The client's software platform enables companies to quickly and cost-effectively adopt formal security and privacy programs, measure their effectiveness against compliance standards, and share program achievements with customers via AI to answer security questionnaires. As a result, compliance becomes habitual, simple to understand and implement, and continuously verifiable, allowing businesses to gain transparency into their compliance status.
