Backend Integration Engineer

Allen Recruitment; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Allen Recruitment is seeking a highly skilled backend engineer to own and evolve production integrations for a security SaaS platform. You will work with AWS, GCP, and Azure, building resilient ingestion pipelines and ensuring data quality for reliable detections.

Experience with Go, OAuth/OIDC, and robust monitoring is essential. You’ll contribute to production-grade auth patterns, observability, and cross-team collaboration to deliver scalable signals.

Qualifications

• Recent, production Go experience (recency matters).
• Real-world REST API integration experience (pagination, rate limits).
• Exposure to AWS, GCP, or Azure APIs/SDKs beyond hosting only.
• Strong SQL skills with on-database ownership/queries.
• Concrete experience with OAuth 2.0 / OIDC / service accounts / signed credentials.
• Reliability mindset: monitoring, logging, alerting, and robust error handling.
• Experience operating a SaaS backend, not a one-off integration.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain integrations with AWS, GCP, Azure and third-party services.
• Normalize and validate data across providers for consistent signals.
• Implement and maintain authentication patterns (OAuth/OIDC/API keys/service accounts).
• Ensure production readiness with retries, monitoring, alerting, and runbooks.
• Write documentation for mappings, behaviors, and troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with product and engineering to deliver signals needed by detections.

Job description

If you enjoy building the “plumbing” that makes a security product actually work—auth flows, brittle third‑party APIs, weird edge cases, and pulling reliable signals out of messy systems—this role is built for you.

You’ll join a fast‑growing, Series A security & compliance SaaS company building a platform that continuously monitors customer cloud environments and connected tools to detect misconfigurations, risky access, encryption gaps, exposed storage, and compliance drift. Your focus: the integrations layer that powers those detections.

What you’ll build (the low-level, technical work)

You’ll build and own production integrations connecting the platform to:

• Cloud provider APIs (AWS/GCP/Azure) for inventory, configuration, and security posture signals
• Third‑party security / SaaS tools with APIs that evolve, rate‑limit, paginate, and sometimes break
• Authentication + identity flows across systems: OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, service accounts, signed creds, API keys

This is not “hit an endpoint and map JSON.” It’s:

• designing resilient ingestion + normalization pipelines
• dealing withunstable schemas,partial failures, retries/backoff, and idempotency
• buildingobservability (logs/metrics/alerts) so you can detect when a provider changes behavior
• caring aboutdata quality and coverage, because downstream security features depend on it

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain integrations withAWS, GCP, Azure and third‑party services
• Normalize and validate data across providers so signals are consistent and trustworthy
• Implement and maintain authentication patterns (OAuth/OIDC/API keys/service accounts)
• Ensure integrations are reliable and operable in production (retries, monitoring, alerting, runbooks)
• Write clear documentation for mappings, behaviors, and troubleshooting
• Collaborate closely with product/engineering to ensure integrations deliver what detections need

What we’re looking for (hard requirements)

• Recent, production Go (Golang) experience (recency matters) ideally or ability to quickly move to Go fromC++ OR C# OR C or other low level languages
• Real‑worldREST API integration experience (pagination, rate limits, evolving schemas, quirks)
• Exposure to at least one ofAWS or GCP or Azure APIs/SDKs (not just “hosted on AWS”)
• SQL (hands‑on querying; ideally some schema ownership too)
• Concrete experience withOAuth 2.0 / OIDC / service accounts / signed credentials
• Strong reliability instincts: monitoring/logging/alerting + robust error handling
• Experience operating aSaaS backend (not a one-off integration project)

Nice‑to‑haves

• Security domain familiarity (IAM, identity, audit trails, compliance)
• Integration testing approaches (contract tests, sandbox strategies, debuggability)
• Background in compiled, strongly typed languages (Go preferred; Rust/Java/C#/C++ also relevant)

Next steps
