Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer to drive the development, scalability, and evolution of our Next Generation Trust Security (NGTS) Code Sign and Protocols modules. In this role, you will take ownership of complex engineering initiatives, delivering end-to-end features while building highly scalable distributed systems that support mission‑critical security workflows at enterprise scale.

You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, navigating ambiguity while contributing across the stack from API design through user interface implementation. You will partner closely with Engineering, Product Management, Design, Production Engineering, and Test Enablement to deliver secure, reliable, and high‑quality software. You will also mentor peers, contribute to engineering best practices, and help improve the scalability, reliability, and maintainability of the platform.

This role is available for engineers who are open to working from our Salt Lake City, Utah office in a hybrid capacity three days per week.

Core Responsibilities End‑to‑End Feature Delivery

Take ownership of complex engineering initiatives from design through production deployment, delivering scalable, high‑quality software while minimizing rework and accelerating delivery.

Backend Engineering

Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Go, Java, or similar modern programming languages.

Leverage workflow orchestration frameworks such as Temporal or comparable distributed workflow technologies to implement resilient business logic, distributed workflows, and microservices integrations.

Frontend Development

Develop modern web applications using Type Script, React, and contemporary component libraries to deliver intuitive, high‑performance user experiences for complex security workflows.

API & Platform Integration

Design and implement scalable GraphQL schemas, REST APIs, and service integrations that support the broader NGTS platform while promoting reusable, maintainable engineering patterns.

Code Quality & Maintainability

Design clean interfaces, refactor legacy components, reduce technical debt, and improve long‑term maintainability through engineering best practices and defensive coding techniques.

Scalability, Reliability & Production Engineering Distributed Systems

Design and implement distributed systems with a focus on scalability, resiliency, fault tolerance, and operational excellence.

Performance & Scale

Design features with scalability, reliability, and performance tradeoffs in mind while supporting horizontal scaling and large‑scale SaaS workloads.

Production Engineering

Partner closely with Test Enablement and Production Engineering teams to prepare infrastructure for performance, resiliency, and reliability testing.

Diagnose and resolve production issues across distributed services, perform root cause analysis, and participate in the team's paid on‑call rotation to maintain platform availability.

Observability

Improve monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational tooling to proactively identify and resolve production issues.

Collaboration & Engineering Excellence

Partner closely with Product Management, Design, and Engineering to refine requirements and deliver customer‑focused solutions.

Mentor engineering peers through code reviews, design discussions, technical guidance, and knowledge sharing.

Create clear technical documentation, design proposals, and engineering standards that improve long‑term maintainability and support AI‑assisted knowledge retrieval.

Evaluate and adopt modern engineering tools, AI‑assisted development practices, and scalable software patterns that improve developer productivity while maintaining high quality standards.

Qualifications
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent demonstrated expertise), with a proven track record of owning complex engineering initiatives, designing and delivering scalable distributed systems, mentoring engineers, and exercising strong technical judgment across backend and web applications.
