As a backend engineer, you’ll work with Trino’s original creators and experts to exceed our customers’ expectations for optimizing core of Trino to run on public clouds, building a scalable platform for operating Galaxy and building product security features around Identity and Access Management. Daily tasks will include developing new product features, supporting our product in production, building tools, and collaborating with various stakeholders to ensure the security of the service.
The Identity and Access Management (IAM) team seeks to build data governance experiences that are best-in-class. Security is our north star, but we also strive for top-tier performance, ease of use, and flexibility on our authentication and authorization systems. We aim to make data governance easy by building robust tooling around industry standard authentication systems and making the ecosystem around access control (RBAC, ABAC, data classification, tagging) fast, powerful, and simple to use.

- Design, develop and operate features relating to Identity and Access Management for both Starburst Galaxy and the Starburst Enterprise Platform (SEP).

- Provide considerate and timely review of your peers' pull requests and design proposals
Some of the things we look for:
- 10+ years experience developing distributed systems
- Extensive software development experience with Java
- Demonstrated experience with software engineering and design best practices.
- Prior experience with software development in Authentication, Authorization or Audit a huge plus
- While this is primarily a backend development role, full stack experience with ReactJS is a plus!
- Demonstration of ownership, grit, and bias for action - core values at Starburst
- Ability to Travel: This role will require occasional in-person travel for purposes including but not limited to new hire onboarding, team and department offsites, customer engagements, and other company events. Actual travel expectations may vary by role and business needs.
