Founding Engineer, Identity

Own the core of Gatekeep: the WebAuthn and OpenID Connect server, multi-tenant infrastructure and the developer dashboard.

Remote (Americas)Full-time

Apply for this role

What 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.
