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.



About the role:

Jumpcloud is focused on ensuring that users, groups, and permissions are synchronized seamlessly with non-JumpCloud services. Our charter is to allow organizations to integrate with any SaaS products where identities can be sourced and where identities and access need to be managed.  Allowing IT admins to manage user identities in a single source and reflect them to any resource an employee needs access.


We’re looking for passionate software engineers to be the next members of our awesome engineering team. You will have the opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the success of this team as it delivers customer value and solves some very difficult problems around identity, authentication, security, and cloud scaling.


We're solving complex problems in the cloud using the latest and greatest technologies like MongoDB, GoLang, Node, Vagrant, Docker, Saltstack, ELK Stack, Redis, etc. But wait, you haven’t used those technologies? No worries: we’re open-minded and we believe that good engineering is not technology specific.



What you will be doing:
  • Understand the technical details and the protocols underlying Active Directory including LDAP, Kerberos and DNS.
  • Help other developers gain a better understanding of how Active Directory works and ways of integrating with it.
  • Work with engineering leadership and JumpCloud Product Management to ensure proper scoping of work and features.
  • Design architecture to support authenticating users, migration of objects from AD to alternative directories and management of GPOs and other policies.
  • Develop web services to support AD Integration within JumpCloud’s infrastructure.
  • Plan out a post-Active Directory future integrating with Microsoft Azure instead of AD.


We’re looking for:
  • 8+ years of industry/production programming experience in Java, Python, C, or C++ with a strong interest to learn and work in Go and NodeJS (Bonus points for already knowing some Go, NodeJS).
  • Willingness and demonstrated ability to learn and embrace new technologies, languages, and frameworks
  • Strong Experience developing large-scale web applications, SaaS applications in the cloud (AWS a plus) or large, distributed systems. 
  • Comfortable with Linux/OSX/Unix as desktop development environment
  • Strong database work experience, including relational and non-relational databases.
  • Strong team player that wants to win together. We are both Agile and agile, and we’re a team that’s constantly working together
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related field
  • Passion for product and customer, not just for code.
