As a Software Engineer at C1, you'll build the features, interfaces, and systems that make identity governance secure, intuitive, and fast. You'll work across the stack - from backend APIs to frontend components - owning the delivery of product experiences end-to-end. You'll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other engineers to turn complex workflows into beautifully simple solutions that help customers manage access and automate compliance with confidence.
This is a high-ownership role: you'll ship production-quality code, participate in technical design, and help shape how C1's products evolve as we scale.
What you'll do:
- Design, build, and ship customer-facing features across the full stack - from backend APIs and data models in Go, to frontend UI in React.
- Collaborate with Product and Design to translate requirements into elegant, performant implementations.
- Write reliable, maintainable code and contribute to a culture of quality through thoughtful testing and code review.
- Help define and improve patterns, frameworks, and developer experience across our frontend and backend systems.
- Diagnose and resolve complex issues in production, ensuring high reliability and great user experiences.
- Participate in architectural discussions and help shape how we scale our product and systems.
- Partner closely with other teams (SRE, Security, and FDE) to ensure features are secure, observable, and resilient in production.
- Contribute to a strong engineering culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
You would be an excellent candidate if...
- You're a strong product-minded engineer who takes pride in delivering delightful user experiences.
- You have solid experience in a modern frontend framework (React, TypeScript) and in backend development (Go, Node.js, or similar).
- You're comfortable designing APIs and working across service boundaries.
- You enjoy thinking about the full lifecycle of a feature - from design and implementation to deployment and monitoring.
- You communicate clearly and thrive in a collaborative environment where priorities shift quickly.
- You enjoy balancing velocity and quality, knowing when to iterate fast and when to invest in long-term maintainability.
- You embody C1's values: Earn the Customer's Trust, Embrace Change, Practice Compassionate Candor, and Be the Conductor.
Extra Credit if...
- You've built complex, data-rich web applications or admin consoles for SaaS products.
- You have experience with gRPC or similar API technologies.
- You've worked with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.
- You have experience with identity systems, authentication flows, or access management concepts.
- You've contributed to design systems or component libraries shared across multiple products.
- You've operated in a high-growth startup environment and enjoy shaping teams as much as product.
