You will join our Architects in leading the technical design for our Identity & Access Management (IAM) products. As a member of the IAM leadership team, you will work closely with our customers, Product Owners and fellow architects to develop the high-level technical approach, guide our Engineering Teams and ensure production-readiness concerns are carefully considered.
- You have designed and built enterprise-grade, distributed systems. You’re good at this... and get a kick out of tackling a novel problem;
- Needless to say, you have great communication skills and the talent to motivate people in the right direction. We expect you to be able to anticipate and negotiate new or changing requirements with customers;
- You lead the charge on continual improvement of production-readiness, educating teams about tools and techniques to ensure that the product runs smoothly, securely and in a way that offers insight into the systems’ health;
- Nice to haves are: experience working with Identity & Authentication solutions and standards; including multi-factor authentication, OpenID Connect, OAuth and FIDO. Financial services domain experience. Running systems in production. Java / Spring / K8s / Docker or similar technologies.

it's my job
THE JOB AT BACKBASE
By the end of month 1: You’ve completed your Backbase onboarding; connecting and participating with new starters around the globe in week 1. You’ve started to build your product and domain knowledge by shadowing the Domain Architect, running our software and better understanding our solutions and challenges. Started to develop your Architect’s network across the organisation.
By the end of month 3: Having participated in sessions with our customers, you are translating their needs into a set of technical designs that are building on your newly gained IAM subject matter expertise - supported by the Domain Architect. You have worked closely with the Engineering Teams to help them convert these into a meaningful set of roadmap items; leveraging or extending open-standards and protocols where possible. You have guided the Product Owners to help them be considerate of the non-functional requirements when shaping their backlog.
By the end of month 6: As part of your engagement in the wider Backbase Architect’s community, you are helping shape the technical roadmap with the Engineering Team’s Tech Leads; working with the Product Owners to ensure we’re investing back into creating a secure, scalable and resilient platform. It’s likely the first fruits of your labour are hitting our distro repositories and our customers are beginning to ‘kick the tyres’ by running it on our Backbase-as-a-Sevice Cloud platform. You’re keen to ensure this lands properly, so you’re spending time with our Ops team to review the operational metrics.
By the end of month 12: your first product is live for our customers and you’ve already driven at least one significant technical improvement across our products. You’ve signed up for the next big IAM or Tech conference and can’t wait to share your new knowledge in the next lunch-and-learn session.
The technology
A Cloud-native, Microservices Architecture underpins our Backend services and exposes our RESTful APIs. Our containerised applications are managed by Kubernetes on our Backbase-as-a-Service cloud offering, or at our customers’ private Cloud.
We are big adopters of open-source frameworks and libraries. When suitable, we choose to use and contribute to open-source applications and platforms to get to value quicker and leverage the community expertise.
On the web we’re running Angular and we deliver iOS and Android applications and components. apply now
