Every secure login starts with great engineering. Help build the identity platform behind the next generation of banking.
Your work helps protect every digital interaction with Bigbank.
Identity is one of the most critical building blocks of modern banking. Every secure login, every permission and every customer journey depends on systems that are secure, reliable and built to scale.
As an Senior Software Engineer, you'll design, build and evolve the Identity and Access Management platform that protects how customers and employees securely access Bigbank's services.
You'll influence architecture, drive technical decisions, and own solutions throughout their lifecycle, from design and implementation to production support.
Working primarily with Java and Spring Boot, while also contributing across technologies such as Node.js and Kubernetes, you'll help build secure authentication and authorization services that thousands of customers rely on every day.
If you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges where software quality, security and scalability matter equally, we'd love to meet you.
