Sr. Software Engineer (Agentic Access)

ABOUT OUR TEAM

At Immuta, we’re on a mission to make data secure, accessible, and trusted for every organization. Our Engineering Team builds the technologies that power this mission - enabling global enterprises to automate data access control, privacy enforcement, and policy management across modern cloud ecosystems.

YOUR ROLE

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Agentic Access team, you’ll play a key role in designing, building, and evolving the AI systems that underpin Immuta’s data governance platform. You’ll work at the intersection of AI and data security - building the foundational capabilities that allow autonomous agents to discover, authenticate against, and securely access governed data.

You’ll collaborate with other engineers, product managers, and designers to architect scalable solutions, guide technical direction, and mentor peers in best practices. This is a hands-on, highly impactful role for someone who enjoys balancing deep technical work with product impact and wants to help define how AI interacts with enterprise data.

HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT

• Architect and Build Scalable Systems: Design and develop new applications and workflows that deliver high reliability and performance.
• Improve Performance at Scale: Identify bottlenecks, tune Postgres queries, and optimize system performance as data volumes grow.
• Mentor and Guide: Provide technical leadership, mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of learning and excellence.
• Influence Technical Direction: Improve engineering processes through automation, testing, and continuous delivery.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Design, build, and deliver backend services and distributed workflows that power Immuta’s core platform.
• Build and operate services that integrate with modern data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, Starburst, and Redshift.
• Implement and maintain TypeScript-based microservices, RESTful APIs, and Temporal workflows.
• Own Postgres performance and reliability, including query authoring, tuning (configuration of memory and buffers, WAL tuning, and table design), benchmarking, and schema design.
• Deploy and operate microservices in Kubernetes-based environments, using tools like Skaffold and Flux to support modern CI/CD workflows, with a focus on scalability and reliability.
• Participation in code reviews, design discussions, and system architecture planning.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT

• Experience: 5-8 years of software engineering experience in SaaS, cloud, or data-intensive environments; Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field is preferred.
• Languages & Frameworks: Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js, with experience building backend services and data-driven applications.
• Architecture Expertise: Hands-on experience designing and operating microservice and distributed systems, including asynchronous or long-running workflows (e.g., Temporal or similar systems) and API design.
• Data & Cloud Platforms: Experience working with Postgres, including writing and tuning SQL for performance, and deploying services using Docker and Kubernetes in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Team Dynamic: Excellent communicator who is curious, self-directed, and passionate about building high-quality software that drives measurable customer values.
