Tines serves a diverse range of customers, from startups to public companies, including Canva, Databricks, Elastic, Kayak, Intercom, and McKesson. As an integrator across the entire tech stack, Tines is vendor-agnostic integrating with any API-enabled service. This flexibility enables our customers to achieve their highest-priority goals faster.

At Tines, we're driven by our values of Simplicity, Speed, and Soundness. We're committed to delivering exceptional customer experiences while fostering a company culture that nurtures individual curiosity, growth, and integrity. We’re excited about what’s next, and we’re looking for others to join us on our journey.Senior Software Engineer - Identity and Access Management
Location: Ireland
You’ll join our new IAM team responsible for building and shipping authentication, authorization and integration credential features to our customers, but, as a small but growing software engineering organization, this role is not strictly limited to any single part of our product or stack. You'll also use your skills to improve the scalability of our authentication processes, observability of issues during incidents, and ensuring we’re aligning with best in class security practices.
This role is about more than writing code: you'll have an influential voice in shaping our technical direction, our product, and our culture. We have a hugely supportive and collaborative engineering team that takes great pride in the work we do and the challenges we solve. We’re eager to help grow and nurture each other’s abilities and also create an environment where we have the ability to do our very best work.
You can work fully remotely from anywhere in Ireland, and also make use of our office space in Dublin as much as you want.
What you will be doing:
Work closely with colleagues to build the right solutions to the problems our customers face.
Make valuable changes in our codebase in your first week, and see them live in production minutes after merging them.
Write and review high quality, well tested code to ensure that we’re creating a stable product for our customers, and a stress-free codebase for ourselves.
Identify areas for improvement, both in our codebase and in how we work, and share the responsibility of making our team better.
Own the problems you’re solving - and the software you write to solve them - all the way to production and beyond, responding to customer feedback to improve those solutions.
Use your knowledge and experience to mentor other engineers in our team, providing support and guidance to help them grow their abilities.
Help prioritize our roadmap, identifying how we can use our time pragmatically and effectively.
Projects you might work on:
Leading the work to introduce entirely new login, authentication and session features, like login recovery codes and impersonation, from proposing the ideas and early tech plans through to final UI fixes.
Ensuring that enabling our integration layer is as simple and seamless, including experience improvements.
Collaborating with our Product, Design and Customer Success teams to ship enhancements to our role based access platform, including new permissions, and iterate on them in response to feedback.
Elevating customers’ Tines environment monitoring by boosting audit logging capabilities, like providing native export ability to tools like Splunk.
Creating a Tines story for developers to replicate customer bugs with local configuration of SSO, SCIM and JIT for user authentication and provisioning.
Is this the right role for you?
Proven track record of success as a senior software engineer. This is a senior role and we’re looking for candidates with a well of experience to draw from.
You’ll need to have a proven track record of building and delivering software using a high-level programming language. Our interview process includes assessing your technical competence through Byteboard so you should feel completely comfortable working at the commensurate technical level. Our main languages are Ruby and TypeScript, but you don’t have to be familiar with those - we value curiosity and an eagerness to learn. We’ll also cover the cost of education material to bring you up to speed.
Your abilities matter, not your education or exactly where you’ve worked. We just need you to show us that you have accumulated the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.
Strong IAM domain knowledge and experience of building secure, scalable identity and access control systems for cloud-based applications.
This role is broad, not specialized. You’ll work right across our full stack, backend and frontend. You don’t need to have expertise in all areas of our stack (no one on the team does), but you will need to be comfortable pitching in anywhere when needed, with the support of your teammates. This allows us to be more effective as a team, and provides a lot of opportunities for you to learn.
We’re focused on the most important problems, not the most interesting ones. Your time and energy are limited, so in order to succeed you’ll need to spend it where it will make a difference. We view technologies as a means to an end, and stick to simple, common tools - Ruby, Rails, React, TypeScript, Postgres, Redis and Docker.
We work healthily and sustainably. We work reasonable hours, we take our holidays and we plan our workloads realistically. No matter how excited we get by a project, it’s more important to not get burnt out from overwork.
Your contributions will be obvious. On a small team like ours, you don’t have to spend a ton of time and energy making sure your work is seen - your impact and value will be clear to everyone.
We’re building an inclusive, supportive team. We have a wonderfully wide spectrum of colleagues at Tines, and we treat them all with kindness and respect - we expect that you will too. We don’t hire people that treat their colleagues badly, no matter how talented they are.
We’re bringing programming to everyone. As software engineers, we can appreciate the power of using software to automate manual work. In our team, we get to use our knowledge to help bring this power to our customers, without them having to learn how to code.
