About this job
Why Socure?
Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.
We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.
Socure is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team within the Technology Center of Excellence. In this critical role, you will be a technical leader, driving the design, development, and deployment of innovative software solutions that help eliminate identity fraud. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and secure products. At Socure, we value teamwork, outcome-driven development, and a commitment to best-in-class technology experiences.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, test, and debug components for distributed systems that operate at large scale and high speed
Own and drive nonfunctional requirements such as scalability, availability, and security
Develop and maintain unit and integration tests, achieving robust code and functional coverage
Produce enterprise-class documentation for internal and external collaboration
Break down complex tasks into manageable components, plan, and execute effectively
Collaborate with team members to elevate technology standards and consistently apply best practices
Participate actively in an agile environment to deliver high-quality software solutions
Job Requirements:
5-7 years of significant hands-on coding experience with Golang, preferably in a product development environment
Strong programming and design fundamentals, with excellent problem-solving and coding skills
Exceptional analytical and reasoning abilities, with a talent for visualizing processes and outcomes
Passion for continuous learning and growth while building high-performance systems, with a solid understanding of concurrency and multi-threading
Experience architecting microservices and developing RESTful APIs
Prior experience with high-throughput, low-latency storage, cloud computing, NoSQL databases, big data analytics, machine learning services, or large-scale systems is a plus
Socure is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity in all its forms within our company. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
If you need an accommodation during any stage of the application or hiring process—including interview or onboarding support—please reach out to your Socure recruiting partner directly.
