[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Thrive Global

Role Description

This is a high-impact role for a senior engineer who wants real ownership from day one. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Identity team, you will design, build, and operate the systems that underpin sign-up, authentication, and identity across every Thrive product. When an employee at one of our 200+ enterprise customers signs in, your work is the front door.

This is a fast-moving, lean environment. We are looking for someone who brings the pragmatism of a startup, a bias to ship and iterate quickly, paired with the craft of an engineer who has seen the long-term cost of shortcuts.

How You'll Contribute

• Own and evolve the enterprise identity platform end-to-end.
• Independently scope and deliver medium-to-large projects.
• Partner closely with Product and stakeholders.
• Set a high bar for quality without sacrificing pace.
• Support reliability and incident response.

Qualifications

• BA/BS degree or relevant work experience.
• Senior-level engineering experience with a track record of owning production systems end-to-end.
• Strong Java/Kotlin, ideally full-stack with TypeScript.
• Experience building and supporting B2B / enterprise-facing software.
• Demonstrated ability to independently scope and deliver medium-to-large projects.
• Experience with on-call rotations and incident response.
• Meaningful daily overlap with US Eastern business hours.

Requirements

• A self-directed senior engineer who thrives with ownership and minimal oversight.
• A pragmatic builder who blends startup speed with engineering craft.
• A clear communicator who surfaces trade-offs and risks early.
• Energized by ambiguity and capable of turning loosely defined problems into deliverable plans.
• Reliable under pressure with the judgment to keep systems stable.
• Quality-obsessed without being precious.
• Hands-on experience with standards-based identity protocols: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and SCIM provisioning.
• Experience integrating with enterprise identity providers (Okta, Entra ID, Ping or similar).
• Familiarity with session management, token lifecycle, and secure credential handling at scale.
• Experience building software in security-sensitive or regulated environments (SOC 2, HIPAA, or equivalent).

Benefits

• Mission-Driven Impact: Be part of a company that’s truly making a difference in people’s lives around the world.
• Career Growth: Develop within the company and help shape our growth strategy.
• Human-Centric Culture: Thrive in a supportive environment with a range of wellness perks and benefits.
• Competitive Compensation: Enjoy a comprehensive and rewarding total compensation package.
• Health & Financial Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage plus a 401(k) program with company match.
• Time to Recharge: Generous paid time-off programs designed to help you rest, reset, and recharge.

Compensation
