United Kingdom SlashID Full time

Location: Remote (EU, UK, US, Canada, South America)
About us

At SlashID, we are rethinking the way companies manage identity and authentication, giving users a better experience while respecting their privacy and keeping their data safe. 

At the core of our system are encrypted user identities, with API-based modules built on top, which accomplish tasks such as authentication, authorization, ID verification and many others. 

SlashID’s products are on our customer’s critical path and most of them require 99.99% uptime, so reliability and security are key to our engineering culture. 

Last but not least, we are a young startup. We work with tight deadlines, lean processes and ambitious roadmaps. We are a small, tight-knit team who strives to succeed in a competitive environment.

About the role

We’re looking for people with a strong technical background and a passion for building products, not just features. 

This is not a management but a full time hands-on position: you will spend the majority of your time coding. 

As an engineer at SlashID, you will:

  • Design, build and maintain SlashID’s products, services and features
  • Write technical design docs and customer-facing documentation
  • Carry out code reviews
  • Address customer issues
  • Build tooling to monitor and analyze SlashID’s services, both in terms of performance and security
  • Coordinate your work with our frontend engineers and designers 
  • Have broad exposure to our entire architecture 

You will use:

  • Go (Golang)
  • Hardware Security Modules (HSM)
  • Postgres and MySQL
  • GCP
  • Terraform
  • Docker
  • Redis
  • Tink

Please note: 

  • the exact level of the role (Senior or Principal) will depend on your experience and interview performance;
  • the engineering team in based in Europe, so we’re looking for people located in compatible time zones;
  • SlashID is remote-first and we offer flexible working arrangements to help our team manage their daily lives in the way that works best for them;
  • if you are not located in the US, you will be hired either via a B2B contract or through an employer of record.

You are a good fit if you:
  • Have experience as a cloud or backend engineer for a multi-tenant large scale mission critical system
  • Have a strong understanding of reliability practices, distributed systems, and cloud native architectures 
  • Have a thorough understanding of engineering best practices, including appropriate testing paradigms, effective peer code reviews, resilient architecture
  • Have a good understanding of multi-threading, concurrency, and parallel processing technologies
  • Are comfortable working with a high degree of independence and minimal process
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, test-driven, collaborative, and iterative environment
  • Care about user experience and developer experience
  • Enjoy working with a diverse group of people with different backgrounds and expertise
