• 3+ years of back-end software engineering experience focused on core security, identity, or platform systems.

• Proven experience building and maintaining central Authentication and Authorization systems.

• Direct experience with RBAC/ABAC frameworks and security protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, JWT).

• Strong capability to manage competing feature requests from multiple internal teams while maintaining legacy codebases.

• Solid background with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and REST/gRPC APIs.

• You are seen and trusted as a primary subject matter expert and partner for central Auth/Authz and admin tooling across all of Pattern.

• You strike an effective balance between rapidly delivering requested features for partner teams and systematically maintaining/refactoring existing applications to ensure system stability and reliability while preventing technical debt.

• You communicate proactively with cross-functional stakeholders, setting realistic timelines and clear integration pathways for their feature requests.

• You ensure our central Auth system is fault-tolerant, sub-millisecond in performance, and seamlessly adopted by all internal applications and external platforms.

• You effectively delegate and monitor repeatable, task-focused feature and maintenance work with junior engineers, optimizing your time across both strategy and execution.

• Game Changers: A game changer is someone who looks at problems with an open mind and shares new ideas with team members, regularly reassesses existing plans and attaches a realistic timeline to goals, makes profitable, productive, and innovative contributions, and actively pursues improvements to Pattern’s processes and outcomes.

• Data Fanatics: A data fanatic is someone who recognizes problems and seeks to understand them through data, draws unbiased conclusions based on data that lead to actionable solutions, and continues to track the effects of the solutions using data.

• Partner Obsessed: An individual who is partner obsessed clearly explains the status of projects to partners and relies on constructive feedback, actively listens to partner’s expectations and delivers results that exceed them, prioritizes the needs of your partners, and takes the time to create a personable experience for those interacting with Pattern.
