Role
Who you are
- A track record of delivering complex, multi-team projects—you've shipped systems that handle real scale, real failures, and real customers
- Deep experience with Go or similar backend languages, with strong opinions on how to write maintainable, performant code
- Strong systems thinking—you balance technical debt against feature velocity and make pragmatic tradeoffs
- Demonstrated technical leadership—you've driven architectural decisions, built consensus across teams, and helped other engineers grow
- High agency—you figure out what needs to be built, not just how to build what you're told. You move fast and unblock yourself
- Deep understanding of production environments—you know how to debug, monitor, and operate the systems you build
- Experience with AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar)—you're already using these tools and excited about what's next
- Clear, persuasive communication—you can explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences and build alignment
- Ego in check—you care about getting it right, not being right
- We're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match every requirement above. We welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions
Desirable
- Experience building AI-native products—integrating LLMs into production systems, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation
- Experience building integration platforms or working with many third-party APIs at scale
- Deep familiarity with identity protocols and systems (SCIM, SAML, OAuth, LDAP, Active Directory, or similar)
- Background in building multi-tenant SaaS platforms with enterprise security requirements
- Contributions to open source projects or engineering communities
What the job involves
- Build and scale our integration platform—design the systems that let us connect reliably to hundreds of enterprise applications, from major SaaS providers to legacy on-prem systems
- Plan and drive large projects with incremental deliverables—you'll contribute to major architectural decisions, assess technical risks, and communicate tradeoffs across teams
- Work directly with customers to understand complex integration requirements—every enterprise environment is different, and the best solutions come from deep understanding
- Set the bar for code quality—deliver code that's maintainable, well-tested, and sets the standard for the team
- Be a stabilizing force when things are ambiguous—keep the team aligned on priorities and moving forward even when the path isn't clear
- Mentor and elevate others—delegate effectively, trust people with real ownership, and help engineers around you grow
Our take
C1 is an identity security company that helps IT and security teams by automating privileges and compliance. It automates identity security, thus enabling companies to understand what is happening across their operations and what actions could impact someone’s program access permissions.
Originally know as ConductorOne, the company rebranded in 2026. This change accompanied the broadening of its platform to address identity governance for AI tools and agents. Regarding the past success of its Access Request product - which saved IT teams the time they would spend provisioning - we expect this extension to bring similar value to C1's clients.
C1 is well-funded, having raised substantial investment from the likes of GreyCroft and CrowdStrike. This has supported the company in accelerating growth and scaling operations, and gave it a solid foundation from which to address what identity looks like in the post-AI for business era.
