Job Description

• Design and implement a connector framework (authentication, config, throttling, error handling, versioning) for systems like SharePoint/Microsoft 365, email delivery, and other third-party services. • Implement OAuth2/OIDC patterns, token refresh, secure secret storage, and least-privilege scopes. • Build durable job scheduling and orchestration: queues/workers, retries with backoff, idempotency, state machines, and replayability. • Create workflow primitives for file movement (trigger → validate → transfer → post-process → notify → audit), including approvals and exception paths. • Extend and maintain secure transfer support for HTTPS, FTPS, FTPeS, SCP, including troubleshooting real-world edge cases (timeouts, cipher/KEX mismatches, passive/active FTP, resumability, large file behavior). • Improve performance and correctness: resumable transfers, checkpointing, integrity verification, and failure isolation (noisy-neighbor control). • Contribute to architecture decisions, code reviews, security assessments, and performance optimization. • Improve observability (logs/metrics/traces), incident readiness, and operational tooling. • Mentor engineers and help evolve development practices.

Job Requirements

  • U.S. Citizenship
  • 10+ years of backend development experience, ideally in a SaaS or infrastructure-heavy environment
  • Senior-level backend experience shipping production systems (SaaS, infrastructure, or security-adjacent platforms).
  • Strong PHP experience (LAMP or equivalent production backend environment).
  • Demonstrated experience with **secure file transfer protocols** (SFTP, FTPS, FTPeS, SCP) and the ability to develop on top of them.
  • Experience building **integrations** with external systems/APIs (auth, rate limits, webhooks, retries, pagination, data mapping).
  • Experience with background processing and scheduling (queues/workers, concurrency control, idempotency, retry semantics).
  • Strong security mindset: secrets management, auditing, access control, and safe-by-default designs.
  • Nice-to-have**
  • Microsoft Graph / SharePoint integration experience (delta queries, upload sessions, webhook subscriptions, throttling).
  • Understanding of Hyperscaler (Azure, AWS, GCP) platforms, API options, and integrations
  • Workflow/orchestration frameworks or building state-machine-based execution.
  • Experience with compliance-heavy environments (audit logging, retention, immutable event trails).
  • Experience with Jira administration / analytics and building dashboards
  • Additional languages (e.g., C++), or modernization patterns around legacy systems.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Employer paid Medical, Dental, & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick time, & 12 company days)
  • Training & Development
  • Work From Home
  • Reimbursement for mobile phone and home internet
  • Company-issued computer and technology needed for your role
