Description

Join our global team of world-class engineers working on the Authlete Server and related backends!

  • Implement support for new standards related to OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect, Open Banking, Financial-grade APIs, and verifiable credentials
  • Propose and design new features for our products and services
  • Lead architecture improvements such as code refactorings, reusable component libraries, and upgrades to tooling and frameworks
  • Mentor and help more junior members of the development team, perform code reviews, and enforce a high standard of quality that our customers expect
  • Improve performance, maintainability, and robustness of our code bases with the help of tooling and testing frameworks

This is a senior position that requires very strong, demonstrated skills in Java development. We use mainly Java 11/21 EE. A successful candidate is expected to have at least 5 years of experience in the software industry. Our development and production environment is highly containerized so familiarity with Docker or Kubernetes is a plus, as well as familiarity with React or other frontend frameworks. Depending on your skills and experience, your role can also be as an architect and team lead for the development team.

You must speak English or Japanese well, and proficiency in both is a plus, as well as proficiency in other languages. Reading and writing in English is required for this position (Slack, MRs, technical documentation, etc).

Depending on your skills and interests you will also have a chance to work on other code-bases and programming languages, such as developing our SDKs that are available for many languages and frameworks. You may be involved in DevOps automation, front-end development, automated tests and conformance testing, and integration with 3rd party, cloud services, or customer systems.

Familiarity with OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect is highly preferable and experience working with securing APIs and IAM is a strong plus as well a background in banking, fintech, and similar fields.
