Staff Software Engineer, ISPM - JumpCloud

All roles at JumpCloud are Remote unless otherwise specified in the Job Description.

About JumpCloud

JumpCloud ® delivers a unified open directory platform that makes it easy to securely manage identities, devices, and access across your organization. With JumpCloud , IT teams and MSPs enable users to work securely from anywhere and manage their Windows, Apple, Linux, and Android devices from a single platform. JumpCloud is IT Simplified.

The Problem Statement: The Invisible Identity Perimeter

Modern enterprises no longer have a physical perimeter; identity is the new boundary. However, this boundary is currently fragmented, opaque, and highly volatile. IT Admins today are drowning in "Identity Debt"—stale accounts, over-privileged permissions, and hidden misconfigurations that remain invisible until they are exploited.

The industry is reactive. At JumpCloud , we believe security should be proactive. The challenge is to build a platform that doesn't just manage identities but actively audits, predicts, and remediates risks across millions of objects in real-time. We need to turn "Trust Nothing, Verify Everything" from a slogan into a high-scale, event-driven reality.

The Opportunity: Founding the ISPM Platform

As a Staff Software Engineer, you are a founding member of our newly formed ISPM team, playing a pivotal role in shaping a proactive, AI-driven security discipline from the ground up. You will lead the "zero-to-one" journey, defining how we use high-scale stream processing to protect thousands of organizations.

You will be responsible for driving the ISPM feature set end-to-end—from strategic planning and platform architecture to hands-on development and operational excellence. This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious engineer to build the "pipes" and the "logic" that will redefine the security posture of the modern workforce while building a platform that accelerates product development across the entire company.

We’re looking for:

10-12+ years of backend software development experience.

Expert Proficiency in Go (Golang) : You understand concurrency patterns, memory management, and how to build services that scale.

Event-Driven Architecture : Proven experience building systems that consume and produce messages via Kafka, Kinesis, or SQS.

Stream Processing: Experience with Apache Flink or Spark Streaming.

Database Fluency: Experience modeling data in both Relational (Postgres) and NoSQL (Redis/DynamoDB) stores.

Cloud Native: Deep experience with AWS services (Lambda, ECS/EKS) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).

ML Infrastructure Interest : You don't need to be a Data Scientist, but you have a working interest in MLOps or Model Serving. You are excited about building the "pipes" that put ML models into production.

Security & Identity : Exposure to authentication
