Software Engineer (Identity)

ABOUT THE COMPANY:

Ferrygrid employs 2,400 people across engineering hubs in London and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers. Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

The Software Engineer (Identity) will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Our headquarters is in London, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a long-term contractor role, paid monthly in USD. You will need to be available during UK office hours, at least until 3:00 PM GMT. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).

DAY TO DAY:

Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags. Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items. Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review. Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates. Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk. Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

3-5 years of professional software development experience. Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure. Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers. Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.

DESIRABLE:

Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ. Infrastructure as code with Terraform. Kubernetes and Docker in production.

BENEFITS:

Compensation: $1,500 to $1,800/month

Paid time off. Annual rate review. Monthly internet allowance. Company laptop.
