About Iru

Iru is the AI‑powered security & IT platform used by the world’s fastest‑growing companies to secure their users, apps, and devices. Built for the AI era, Iru unifies identity & access, endpoint security & management, and compliance automation—collapsing the stack and giving IT & security time and control back.

Iru is backed by some of the smartest investors in tech—General Catalyst, Tiger Global, Felicis, Greycroft, and First Round Capital. In July 2024, Iru raised $100 million from General Catalyst, valuing the company at $850 million. Customers include Notion, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, and Mercor, and Iru partners with industry leaders such as ServiceNow and AWS. Iru was named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startup Employers 2025 list for employee engagement and satisfaction.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer (Full‑Stack, Front‑End Dominant) on Iru’s Connect team, you’ll join a small, high‑ownership group building an integrations platform (iPaaS) that powers workflows across third‑party systems (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar). You’ll play a leading role in establishing the front‑end architecture for an internal admin product that’s expected to become more customer‑facing over time—while partnering closely with a backend‑heavy team and growing into deeper platform work.

This is a role for engineers who thrive with ambiguity, want to own technical direction, and can ship quickly with strong product and engineering judgment.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent depth)
• Strong front‑end engineering experience building complex web applications with clear ownership of architecture decisions
• Full‑stack capability and willingness to contribute meaningfully beyond the UI (this is not a pure front‑end role)
• Comfort working in environments with ambiguity (e.g., front‑end stack decisions still being made) and taking initiative to drive clarity
• Experience building internal tools/admin surfaces and/or products used by technical or operational teams
• Strong engineering judgment and ability to communicate tradeoffs clearly
• Senior‑level scope and maturity (this role is targeted at Senior level; not principal/staff scope)

How You’ll Make a Difference Day to Day

• Own front‑end architecture from the ground up: Bring structure to an ad hoc front end—establish patterns for UI architecture, state management, performance, quality, and maintainability.
• Build an internal admin product (with a customer‑facing trajectory): Deliver end‑to‑end experiences for internal tooling that will increasingly matter to external users.
• Operate as a true full‑stack engineer: Expect a split of roughly 65–70% front end / 30–40% backend, with the role trending more platform/backend over time (after ~6 months).
• Partner on platform and integrations work: Contribute to systems that abstract third‑party vendor complexity and enable rapid integration development.
• Make and document key technical decisions: Evaluate tradeoffs pragmatically and choose solutions that fit the team’s needs—not trends.
• Work with high autonomy: Identify what needs to be built, propose solutions, and execute with minimal hand‑holding in a fast‑moving environment.
• Collaborate closely with a small team: Engage in code reviews and design discussions, raising the bar on engineering quality as the team scales.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with (or strong interest in) Python + FastAPI backend development
• Experience with React and modern TypeScript/JavaScript front‑end tooling (exact stack may be chosen/solidified by this hire)
• Background in integration platforms, workflow automation, or iPaaS products (e.g., Paragon, Tines, n8n, Workato, Zapier)
• Experience designing systems that interact with many third‑party APIs and require pragmatic approaches to reliability, monitoring, and debuggability
• Enjoyment of “builder mode” environments: small teams, high ownership, shipping quickly with real impact.

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive salary
• Hybrid work environment (3 days in office per week)
• 100% individual and dependent medical + dental + vision coverage
• 401(K) with a 4% company match
• 20 days PTO
• Iru Wellness Week the first week in July
• Equity for full‑time employees
• In‑office lunch stipend provided
• Up to 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents
• Paid Family and Medical Leave
• Modern Health mental health benefits for individuals and dependents
• Fertility benefits
• Working Advantage employee discounts
• Onsite fitness center
• Free parking
• Exciting opportunities for career growth
