About the role

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 Workforce Verification Team. 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
