Software Engineer, Infrastructure
About this role
What we're looking for:
We need a software engineer with 4+ years of experience who works on infrastructure — not a traditional SRE or DevOps engineer, but a strong software engineer with curiosity and experience in infrastructure systems. You should have solid coding fundamentals (you'll go through the same coding screen as product engineers), familiarity with cloud infrastructure at scale, and a track record of building reliable, performant systems. Ideal candidates started at a top-tier tech company (Meta, Google, etc.), spent 3-5 years there, then moved to a startup environment.
What you'll do:
Ensure the stability, security, scalability, and performance of Opal Security's platform serving Fortune 500 enterprises
Take ownership of critical infrastructure components and drive architectural decisions with high autonomy
Empower product engineers with the tools, systems, and best practices they need to ship quickly
Work closely with leadership, the product team, and other engineers on roadmap, architecture, and product discussions
Interact directly with enterprise customers on product feedback and infrastructure-related issues
Create and improve engineering best practices and processes across the platform team
About the team:
You'll join Opal's platform team — a senior, high-caliber group of engineers from companies like Meta and Google, as well as successful startups. The team reports to the CTO and operates with significant ownership and autonomy. Opal is lean by design, which means each person has outsized impact. We're looking for people who are committed to the startup grind, see the potential and upside, and want to be part of building something meaningful in identity security.
