You will participate and be responsible for enforcing best practices in software quality, security, testing and documentation.

We know great software engineers come from diverse backgrounds so no single individual may have all the desired skills on day one. But if you are the kind of software engineer who would have loved to engineer solutions for Stripe or Twilio API's, or the Slack or Zendesk app, or the Snowflake or MongoDB platform - we want to talk to you.

  • Experience with API gateway platforms and observability tools.

  • Experience in performance engineering: developing high-throughput, low-latency systems

  • Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, scalability, and distributed systems

  • Privacy, authorization/authentication engineering is a huge plus

  • Experience with continuous integration, writing testable code, and test-driven development

  • Understanding of distributed systems and multi-threading/concurrency concepts.

  • Proven track record of delivering cloud-native distributed SaaS platforms at scale, and with a meaningful adoption

  • Traits such as being a fast learner, adaptable to changing landscape and most importantly a strong believer in being hands-on

  • Understanding of Infra and cloud knowledge is a huge bonus

You will:

  • Design, implement, and maintain robust and idiomatic SDKs for backend languages (Go is preferred)

  • Establish strategies for SDK version control, backward compatibility, and changelog management..

  • Write clean, modular, and testable code—optimised for both readability and performance.

  • Responsible for designing and developing Privacy APIs and backend infrastructure to support large-scale data and privacy workflows

  • Contribute to performance engineering efforts and ensure low-latency and high-throughput transactions at scale

  • Participate in building and implementing effective test strategies and developing software with high-agility and zero downtime

  • Collaborate with security and privacy engineers to deliver state-of-the-art privacy solutions

Benefits:

  • Work from home expense

  • Excellent Health Insurance Options

  • Very generous PTO

  • Flexible Hours

Skyflow was founded in 2019 with a mission to radically transform how businesses handle their users' financial, healthcare, and other personal data – the critical information that powers the digital economy. Many customers face significant challenges in maintaining compliance and protecting personally identifiable information (PII). Often, PII can become dispersed across various storage systems, making robust security and compliance difficult to manage. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) often occurs without adequate data protection mechanisms, putting compliance, security, and privacy at risk. Skyflow addresses these challenges by providing a data privacy vault delivered via a simple and elegant API. This allows companies to isolate, protect, and govern their customers' most sensitive data.

Our customers need to ensure that sensitive data is stored and utilized safely and securely. Skyflow's zero trust Data Privacy Vaults, inspired by those pioneered by companies like Apple and Netflix, enable businesses to protect sensitive data without sacrificing its usability for critical operations such as analytics, marketing, and customer support. This means companies can focus on their key features and innovate faster. With Skyflow, sensitive data is isolated and protected in a vault, and fine-grained governance controls determine who has access to what data, when, where, and for how long. This is crucial as regional data privacy and security bills are emerging globally, making it difficult for companies to keep up, especially as they expand into new markets. Skyflow helps organizations meet complex data localization requirements and securely implement LLMs. By preventing sensitive data from entering AI models in the first place, Skyflow simplifies and secures the adoption of generative AI. Our platform supports nearly a billion records of user data for global customers and processes more than two billion API calls quarterly, helping businesses like GoodRx, Lenovo, and Hippocratic AI.
