Job Description

So, what will your new role look like?

We’re hiring a Staff Developer to lead the technical delivery of ShareGate’s most ambitious new feature set: User Migration. This is our most significant foray into infrastructure migration, expanding our capabilities beyond content to include the complex challenge of moving user identities and access.

In this hands-on technical leadership role, you’ll own the architecture, define the long-term technical vision, and help build the team that will bring this highly requested capability to life.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the technical design, architecture, and delivery of the user migration feature, ensuring scalability, security, and long-term maintainability.
• Build robust integrations with enterprise identity systems, such as Active Directory and Entra ID, to make complex identity and access migrations feel seamless for end users.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and directly with customers to validate our solutions, and align our technical direction to our product goals.
• Mentor developers, grow the team, and influence technical decisions across ShareGate’s engineering organization.
• Act as a visible technical leader, advocating for scalable design decisions, driving technical discussions, and influencing ShareGate’s broader engineering practices.

A typical week?

You’ll spend your week actively driving progress on meaningful technical work: driving design discussions, writing code, solving complex identity challenges, and collaborating closely with Product and Design. With a light meeting load and asynchronous collaboration, you’ll have the space to prioritize deep work and high-leverage problem-solving.

In parallel, you’ll be shaping the long-term team in partnership with your Software Development Manager by participating in hiring, onboarding, and mentoring as the team grows.

What does your future team look like?

You’ll be the first permanent developer on this new team, taking full technical leadership from the start.

In the early stages, you’ll be supported by a Principal Developer and another Staff Developer to define the technical foundation, architectural direction, and key delivery frameworks. With a dedicated Product Manager, Product Designer, and Manager already in place, you’ll have a unique opportunity to help select and shape the engineering team around you.

What are the next challenges awaiting your team?

Your team’s first challenge is to deliver a secure, production-ready MVP to select customers. You’ll then iterate rapidly toward general availability while scaling the team to support the long-term growth of a feature area that'll play a progressively larger role in ShareGate's broader strategy.

All of this on which technical stack?

You’ll be working within a mature codebase built in .NET (C#), with a WPF desktop front end, supported by established tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and strong engineering standards.

Qualifications

• Deep expertise with identity systems such as Active Directory, Entra ID, or alternatives like Okta, Ping Identity, OneLogin, or LDAP-based directories.
• Proven experience leading the development of enterprise-scale systems from design to delivery.
• Strong communication and influencing skills, able to align technical and non-technical stakeholders by clearly articulating complex technical topics.
• Strong Command of C# and the .NET ecosystem.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and grow software developers.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with Product and Design partners.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and hybrid or desktop application environments a plus.
