Job summary

Nametag is hiring a Full Stack Engineer to own the platform foundations that power our identity verification and protection services.

This role centers on backend and data with a strong emphasis on correct, secure design across regions, plus building internal tooling and operational dashboards to give the company

Qualifications

• 5+ years building and operating production backend systems.
• Deep PostgreSQL experience - schema design, query optimization, and migrations on live systems with real data.
• Strong backend skills in Go, Node.js, Python, Java, or similar, plus enough frontend ability to build internal tooling in React or a comparable framework.
• Experience designing and maintaining APIs used by real customers, including the versioning and compatibility discipline that entails.
• Hands-on cloud experience, AWS preferred, including storage, IAM, and encryption primitives.
• Experience handling sensitive or regulated data where access control, retention, and deletion were hard requirements rather than aspirations.
• Judgment about correctness: idempotency, safe retries, failure handling, and the failure modes that only appear under load.
• Clear communication and good judgment in a remote, cross-functional team.

Responsibilities

• Own the data layer and Postgres schema design, migrations, indexing, and performance under load.
• Design data models that enforce tenant isolation and data classification.
• Run migrations on live systems without downtime or data loss.
• Build data governance into the platform and ensure compliant data handling across regions.
• Implement retention, deletion, and minimization as enforced mechanisms across replicas and caches.
• Build access control and audit logging as a byproduct of normal operation.
• Produce evidence for compliance requirements directly from systems.
