• Participate in rotating on-call duties to diagnose and tackle customer issues.
  

Requirements:

• Extensive experience in developing and solving problems with multi-threaded server applications written in C/C++ on Linux and optionally Windows platforms
  
• Strong debugging and fixing skills including the use of associated tools
  
• Experience working on highly scalable systems involving network communications and associated protocols e.g. REST, TCP/IP, HTTP
  
• Knowledgeable about identity standards SAML, OIDC, and LDAP are a plus.
  
• Experience maintaining enterprise software deployed in on-premise and cloud environments
  
• Mentored junior engineers in their development skills via code reviews and design discussions.
  
• Minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years and a Master's Degree.
  

What we provide

• A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
  
• A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. We work in an open environment, work together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs for the team. We keep it real by being open and honest. We are a collaborative team that understands the value in open communication-it's how we interact with our customers.
  
• Balance. We don't expect people to work 12-hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
  

Fun. We are committed to having every employee want to give it their all, be respectful and a part of the family, and have a smile on their face while doing it.
