ABOUT THE TEAMImmuta's Core Policy Team builds the technologies that power Immuta's platform, enabling customers to author, manage, and enforce complex data access policies across modern data ecosystems.
We develop systems that automate governance and privacy enforcement across leading cloud data platforms, including Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, and Starburst. We work across engineering, product, design, and other partner teams to solve complex technical problems, improve scalability and performance, and deliver maintainable software that creates meaningful value for customers.
ABOUT THE ROLEAs a Senior Software Engineer on the Core Policy Team, you'll design, build, and evolve scalable, high-performance features that power Immuta's policy abstraction and enforcement capabilities. You'll work across front-end and back-end systems to turn complex product and technical challenges into clear, maintainable solutions.
You'll take ownership of complex projects and features from technical design through delivery, rollout, and follow-up improvements. You'll contribute to architectural direction, use operational data to improve reliability and performance, and help create alignment across engineering and cross-functional partners. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for an engineer who enjoys solving difficult problems, exercising technical judgment, and helping other engineers grow.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES- Lead the design and end-to-end delivery of complex features and cross-component initiatives within the Core Policy Team, and when appropriate, across multiple engineering teams.
- Design and implement maintainable front-end components using Angular, React, Vue.js, or comparable technologies.
- Develop and evolve backend services, APIs, and data models using TypeScript, Node.js, and related technologies.
- Create coherent designs across service, API, and data boundaries, anticipating failure modes, scalability needs, operational requirements, and long-term maintenance costs.
- Improve the scalability, performance, reliability, and maintainability of existing systems through thoughtful refactoring, technical planning, and data-informed decisions.
- Own quality through design reviews, code reviews, automated testing, observability, safe rollout practices, and clear success measures for the systems and features you deliver.
- Partner with Product, Design, Security, and other Engineering teams to clarify requirements, evaluate tradeoffs, build alignment, and deliver cohesive solutions for customers.
- Mentor engineers through thoughtful feedback, pairing, documentation, design discussions, and code reviews, helping raise technical standards and strengthen team practices.
- Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes, tooling, CI/CD workflows, and developer experience, and follow through on improvements that increase team effectiveness.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE- Experience: 5+ years in software engineering or a related discipline, with demonstrated scope and impact considered alongside tenure; preferred experience delivering production software.
- Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript, with experience building front-end applications using Angular, React, Vue.js, or comparable frameworks, and backend services using Node.js or related technologies.
- Systems & Architecture: Experience designing and delivering services, APIs, and distributed systems with attention to scalability, maintainability, extensibility, reliability, and secure operation.
- Data & APIs: Strong SQL and relational database fundamentals, including experience with PostgreSQL or comparable systems and designing data models and API contracts.
- Engineering Quality: Experience with automated testing, code review, continuous integration and delivery, observability, debugging, and safe production rollouts.
- Technical Judgment: Ability to frame ambiguous problems, consult the right stakeholders, evaluate tradeoffs, make timely decisions, and explain the rationale behind technical choices.
- Project Ownership: Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects or cross-component initiatives from technical design through delivery, rollout, monitoring, and follow-up improvements.
- Collaboration & Influence: Ability to build alignment and influence technical direction across Engineering and partner functions without relying on formal authority.
- Leadership: Experience mentoring engineers, providing constructive feedback, and improving team practices through design reviews, documentation, code reviews, or other knowledge-sharing activities.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
