At Vonage, we power the future of communications with industry-leading APIs and cloud-based platforms. One of our core components is the Customer Identity & Access Management (IAM) service, which provides secure, scalable, and standards-based identity solutions to all Vonage products and users.

We're seeking a talented Software Engineer to help evolve our IAM system, contributing to a high-availability, globally distributed service. You'll be part of an international, experienced team passionate about distributed systems, real-time communications, cloud infrastructure, and security protocols.

• Contribute to the design and development of the Customer Identity & Access Management service using modern technologies and identity standards like OpenID Connect, JWT, and SAML.
• Participate in system design and hands-on software development for backend services.
• Implement and maintain REST APIs with a focus on scalability, availability, and security.
• Collaborate on global CI/CD and infrastructure deployment strategies for IAM with a target of 99.99999% availability.
• Support the implementation of new IAM features requested by our Product Team.
• Occasionally contribute to frontend (web) tasks when needed (having some web knowledge is a plus).
• Help evaluate and improve service quality through monitoring, metrics, and performance enhancements.
• Explore and integrate AI-powered tools into the software development lifecycle to boost efficiency, automation, and code quality.
• Occasionally contribute to frontend (web) tasks when needed (having some web knowledge is a plus).

What you'll bring

Required:

• Proficiency in any imperative language. The most used language in the team is Golang, so already knowing that is a plus.
• Good understanding of RESTful APIs and backend development.
• Familiarity with Docker and container-based architectures.
• Comfortable using Git in a trunk-based development environment.
• Knowledge of Continuous Deployment principles and tools.

Experience we consider a plus:
