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.

Socure is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team within the Technology Center of Excellence. 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.

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
