The job, in the employer's words

Why Socure?

Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.

We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.

About the Role

Socure is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Staff Backend Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team within the Technology Center of Excellence. In this critical role, you will be a technical leader, driving the design, development, and deployment of innovative software solutions that help eliminate identity fraud. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and secure products. At Socure, we value teamwork, outcome-driven development, and a commitment to best-in-class technology experiences.

What you will do:

In this role, you will provide technical leadership by designing and implementing complex core components and distributed systems, while architecting solutions for scalability, security, modularity, and long-term maintainability. You will conduct code and architecture reviews to ensure alignment with Socure’s standards and industry best practices. As a Staff Backend Engineer you will drive the planning, execution, and delivery of large, complex initiatives, coordinating work across a small team of engineers and effectively managing scope, timelines, and resources. You will also play a key role in team collaboration and mentorship by providing technical guidance, supporting system design efforts, and fostering a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement. Additionally, you will contribute to innovation and impact by proactively proposing new projects, identifying opportunities to enhance platform performance, reliability, and developer productivity, and helping evolve Socure’s engineering practices and standards.

What you bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

  • 8–12 years of professional software engineering experience

  • Proven experience leading complex, large-scale engineering projects

  • Expert-level programming skills and mastery of software engineering principles

  • Strong experience designing and building scalable, distributed systems

  • Ability to develop complex systems while guiding architectural decisions for a team

  • Deep understanding of system design, performance optimization, and reliability
