Veza is the pioneer in identity security, purpose-built to answer the fundamental question enterprises face: who can and should take what action on what data. Backed by Greylock and Sequoia.
About the role
We are looking for a passionate Staff Software Engineer to join Veza's Graph Data Platform team. You will play a key role in designing, improving, and maintaining the robust and scalable code behind the Veza Access Graph, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to shape the future of our products and deliver exceptional identity and access management experiences to our customers.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years of professional backend software development experience, with a focus on scalable distributed systems, data management, identity, security, or related domains
- Distributed systems fundamentals — consistency models, partitioning/sharding, replication, consensus, failure modes at scale
- Graph database internals — traversal algorithms, query planning/optimization, indexing strategies (not just querying an existing graph API)
- Go at a systems-programming level — concurrency patterns, memory/performance tuning, and production experience building and testing backend services
- Large-scale data modeling — schema design for graphs handling high cardinality/fan-out
- Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs in microservice architectures
