Founding Engineer, Identity
Own the core of Gatekeep: the WebAuthn and OpenID Connect server, multi-tenant infrastructure and the developer dashboard.
Apply for this roleWhat you’ll do
- Extend the Gatekeep server: WebAuthn ceremonies, OIDC flows, key rotation and token lifecycles.
- Build multi-tenancy, from per-tenant signing keys to custom domains with automatic TLS.
- Ship the developer dashboard: apps, redirect URIs, branding, logs.
- Keep it fast, small and correct. Write the tests that pin behaviour to the spec.
- Talk to early customers and turn what they need into what we build next.
What we’re looking for
- You’ve built and run production backend systems, ideally in TypeScript.
- You understand HTTP, cookies, CORS and TLS well enough to explain them.
- You’ve worked with OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect, or you’re excited to go deep on them.
- You care about security by default and can say no to complexity.
Nice to have
- Experience with WebAuthn / FIDO2, JOSE (JWT, JWK) or applied cryptography.
- You’ve operated SQLite or Postgres under real load.
- You’ve written a spec, an RFC, or docs people actually read.
