We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join Veza’s Graph Team, the engine behind our core product value. You will be responsible for designing and scaling the Veza Access Graph, a complex system that maps identities to permissions across heterogeneous cloud environments. This role is perfect for engineers who are passionate about data modeling, graph algorithms, and the performance challenges of large-scale distributed systems.

As a key contributor, you will build the backend services and APIs that turn raw permissions metadata into actionable intelligence. You will collaborate with security experts and product managers to solve the 'blind spots' of traditional identity tools. If you have deep experience with OLAP systems, graph databases like Neo4j, and languages like Golang or Kotlin, you will thrive in our mission to redefine identity security.

• Develop, maintain, and scale the Graph features that power Veza's authorization intelligence platform.
• Design and optimize high-performance storage layers, query engines, and distributed backend services.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate complex security requirements into scalable microservice architectures.
• Implement advanced graph algorithms and relational algebra to map complex identity-to-resource relationships.
• Drive system reliability through rigorous code reviews, refactoring, and automated testing.
• Build comprehensive logging, monitoring, and auditing capabilities to ensure operational health and regulatory compliance.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and 'opinionated humility'.

• 5+ years of professional backend development experience with a focus on data management or security.
• Proven track record of developing databases, storage layers, or query engines.
• Strong experience with Graph Databases (e.g., Neo4j) and complex relational data models in OLAP systems.
• Deep theoretical knowledge of relational algebra and graph algorithms (traversals, connectivity, etc.).
• Proficiency in modern backend languages such as Golang or Kotlin.
• Expertise in designing and implementing RESTful APIs within microservice architectures.
• Familiarity with distributed systems, caching mechanisms, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) is a major plus.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
