Software Engineer Systems

Smallstep​ is building an open source identity authority plus toolchain - called ​step​ - that lets software teams securely connect and operate apps running across clouds, containers, serverless, and connected devices. We believe the only way to successfully secure cloud-native computing is to move past perimeter security using world-class PKI (certificates) and mutual TLS.

Smallstep is a nimble deep-tech startup of seasoned experts in San Francisco. We are looking to add a systems software engineer to join our small engineering team working remotely. You’ll be responsible for building out features for smallstep’s identity authority (APIs, CLI, & SDKs) as well as tighter integrations into traditional platforms and the rapidly emerging cloud-native ecosystem with the goal to bring the myriad benefits of PKI & mTLS to a broader audience.

At smallstep, we work reasonable, flexible hours. We look for people who are thoughtful, can break down problems, and often work individually. You are trusted to work on your own and to ask for help when blocked. As an early stage startup, smallstep teams get the benefit of working across many areas and contributing directly to the success of the organization. smallstep is a well-funded startup backed by Accel, boldstart.vc, Bain Capital, and upside partnership.
