Description For Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Opal is redefining identity security for modern enterprises. The concept of least privilege access is well understood in theory but very hard in practice. We've all felt the pain of not getting the access we need to do our job - and security teams feel the pain of either being a bottleneck or authorizing everyone at the expense of risk. At Opal, we're solving this critical problem to make least privilege not only possible but practical. We are taking an age-old problem in enterprise software and making it simple. Our product prioritizes consumer-grade simplicity with enterprise scale, reliability, and security. Our customers love our product, and we're humbled to work with amazing companies like ScaleAI, Grammarly, Databricks, and Figma.

You'll join an experienced team of engineers with direct experience building and scaling teams through massive growth at companies like Slack, Meta, and Samsara. On the back of this experience and our success to date, we've raised over $32M from leading investors, including Greylock and Battery Ventures.

Your responsibilities

  • Ensure the stability, security, scalability, and performance of Opal Security's platform
  • Take ownership of critical components of Opal Security's Infrastructure
  • Empower product engineers with the tools and systems they need
  • Work closely with leadership, our product team, and other engineers in roadmap, architecture, and product discussions
  • Create and improve engineering best practices and processes
  • Interact directly with customers on product feedback and issues

Our ideal candidate

  • Familiarity with our tech stack: Kubernetes, Golang, Postgres, Redis, Terraform, GraphQL, TypeScript, and React
  • Experience with cloud providers (e.g., AWS / GCP) and scaling cloud infrastructure
  • Has 4+ years experience as a full-time software engineer or equivalent experience building large distributed systems
  • Thrives in ambiguous environments with significant ownership and with the opportunity to make decisions that have a huge impact on the business

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive Salary
  • Daily lunch & coffee allowance
  • Unlimited PTO + 11 company holidays
  • Health, Dental, Vision insurance
  • One Medical Membership
  • 401k plan (no matching at this time)
  • Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits

This is a hybrid role (4 days/week) based in San Francisco.
