Built to provide a centralized view of risk and compliance, with AI intelligence woven into the platform's core, LogicGate delivers real-time insights and actionable data to help drive current business decisions, with the flexibility to scale alongside evolving business needs. Recognized as a Leader in the GRC Market, LogicGate continues to further solidify its position as a best-in-class platform.\nThe GRC Market\n Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a rapidly expanding sector, with a global market size projected to reach $104.5 billion by 2031. LogicGate is at the forefront of this industry transformation, empowering enterprise professionals to navigate complex regulatory environments, manage critical uncertainty, and operate with integrity at scale. \nSoftware Engineer: Platform\nLocation: Remote or Bellevue, WA (Hybrid) or Chicago, IL (Hybrid)\nAbout the Role\nAs a Platform Software Engineer at LogicGate, you will build the robust backend services, APIs, and data layers that power Risk Cloud. Working autonomously within an assigned domain, you will design stable solutions, ship high-impact features, and systematically debug production workloads. This role is ideal for an engineer who executes with efficiency and takes operational ownership within their scope of responsibility, while actively developing the depth to shape our future enterprise cloud architecture.\nWhat You’ll Do\nFeature Engineering: Design and build backend features and robust REST APIs on the Risk Cloud platform using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot-taking engineering tasks from requirements through implementation, testing, and production release.\nQuality Assurance & Testing: Write clean, understandable code and build comprehensive unit and integration tests using JUnit, adhering to the testing pyramid to contribute to a highly stable, dependable deployment lifecycle.\nSystematic Debugging: Independently diagnose and resolve issues within your owned service area by reading distributed logs, analyzing console data, tracing request flows, and utilizing customer session analytics without needing escalation for routine anomalies.\n Domain Ownership: Act as a subject matter expert (SME) for a defined portion of the platform (such as our core workflow engine or reporting services), gathering context independently to design functions optimized for maintainability and scalability.\nArchitecture & Documentation: Participate productively in Technical Specification reviews, estimate level of effort accurately, and author clear technical documentation including API contracts, data models, and Confluence runbooks.\n Data Management: Work operationally with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and advanced platform data stores (Neo4j, Redis) alongside messaging infrastructure (RabbitMQ) to trace, query, and optimize how data flows across microservices.\nAgile Collaboration: Partner cross-functionally with product managers, QA engineers, and frontend developers in Agile sprints, mapping out individual task prioritization while raising dependencies or project blockers daily to ensure engineering alignment.\nCode Reviews & Culture: Participate actively in regular peer code reviews-providing meaningful praise, ensuring compliance with team conventions, and receiving constructive feedback non-defensively with an innate curiosity to learn.\nWhat You Bring\nRequired\nProfessional Experience: 3-5 years of professional backend, platform, or systems engineering experience within a high-growth environment.\nCore Stack Proficiency: Strong development experience using Java, Kotlin, or a comparable enterprise JVM language, alongside practical exposure to frameworks like Spring Boot.\nAPI Design Mastery: Solid experience building, owning, and maintaining production-grade REST APIs, with an emphasis on API versioning, contract stability, and cross-team consumer workflows.\n Database Fundamentals: Practical experience working with relational databases (such as PostgreSQL), including writing complex queries, executing schema migrations, and analyzing query performance.\nAutonomous Troubleshooting: Demonstrated ability to independently debug complex distributed backend services by parsing logs, utilizing monitoring systems like Datadog, and verifying compliance protocols via security tools like GitLab Ultimate, Sonarqube and Wiz..\n AI-Augmented Development: Practical experience using AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or Claude Code) as part of a normal workflow-writing effective prompts, building reusable skills or custom instructions, and knowing when to trust, verify, or discard AI-generated output.\nNice to Have:\n Polyglot Exposure: Experience or fluency with Go (our platform chapter utilizes Go alongside our primary JVM stack).\n Advanced Data Infrastructure: Familiarity with graph databases (Neo4j), message queues (RabbitMQ), or distributed caching layers (Redis).\nSaaS Architecture: Background building multi-tenant B2B SaaS applications where strict data isolation, high availability, and performance at scale are paramount.\nModern Distributed Systems: Deep understanding of event-driven architectures, microservices patterns, or containerized applications at production scale.\nThe anticipated base salary range for the role is $105,000 - $130,000 per year + variable + equity + benefits. Actual salaries may vary and will be based on factors such as the candidate's qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role. Internal candidates who have current pay within or above the hiring range are still encouraged to apply if interested.\nHow We Work\n At LogicGate, we empower organizations to transform risk into a strategic advantage. As we continue to scale, we are looking for driven, high-performing individuals who are ready to take ownership, raise the bar, and do the best work of their careers.\nOur culture is built on execution, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.
