About Cakewalk Cakewalk is access management for the entire workforce: We built a single platform to govern and secure access in companies through policy-first access management, runtime provisioning, and identity-linked lifecycles. We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer (m/f/d) to join our ambitious engineering team and help accelerate our product development. You will join a team of 10 engineers as a senior individual contributor, reporting to an Engineering Manager.

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you will build and improve customer-facing functionality across our frontend and backend. You will own features from early product discussions through implementation, testing, release, and ongoing maintenance. You will also help us improve and expand our AI-augmented engineering workflows while remaining fully accountable for the quality, security, and architecture of the resulting code. 45% backend engineering ~25% frontend engineering ~Design, build, test, and release new frontend and backend features.

Take end-to-end ownership of your work, including technical design, implementation, testing, documentation, deployment, and maintenance. Make sound architectural decisions around design patterns, reusable components, APIs, data models, and system boundaries. Collaborate with Product during the early stages of feature design.

Use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable IDE-integrated agents to build, test, document, and review software. Standardize the context provided to coding agents through approaches such as AGENTS.Maintain strict human-in-the-loop accountability for code quality, security, and architectural decisions.



Act as the final reviewer of AI-generated output and ensure that it meets our engineering standards.

Maintain a high quality bar Apply effective testing practices. Review code critically, regardless of whether it was written by a human or generated with AI assistance. Treat bugs as an immediate priority.

We do not knowingly leave defects in the platform: when we identify a bug, we fix it. At least four years of professional experience as a Full-Stack Engineer. Strong professional experience building backend services and single-page web applications.

Strong experience with TypeScript, React, C# and .NET Core or closely comparable frontend technologies. Practical experience using AI-assisted coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable development agents. A strong understanding of domain-driven design and experience applying it to production systems.

Experience making data-informed technical decisions and clearly explaining the reasoning and trade-offs behind them.

Experience writing technical documentation, including Architecture Decision Records.

Experience implementing integration testing strategies.

Experience working with component libraries or design systems such as Material UI, styled-components, or comparable technologies.



An understanding of LLM capabilities and limitations, together with the analytical skills needed to verify and refine AI-generated solutions.

Fluent

English and the ability to communicate comfortably with both technical and non-technical colleagues. A bachelor's degree in software engineering, computer science, or a related subject is an advantage, but not a strict requirement. Prior experience in Identity and Access Management or cybersecurity is not required. However, we expect the security awareness and foundational understanding appropriate for a senior software engineer.

Frontend

TypeScript React Material UI Backend C# .NET Core PostgreSQL Redis RabbitMQ AWS Kubernetes Grafana Sentry Release your first backend feature. Release your first frontend feature. Operate autonomously as a senior individual contributor.

Turn those needs into well-designed, reliable, and maintainable software. Some of the challenges you may work on include integrations with different products, protocols, AI agents, Model Context Protocol servers, and other emerging technologies. Our reason for existing is to simplify IAM.

We value deep thinking, radical transparency, and root-cause analysis over blame. We are a product-driven organization, but our North Star is commercial success. Building a company is a challenge. It is always better to acknowledge that you do not know something than to rely on AI for an immediate answer.

Be prepared to discuss engineering principles, design patterns, clean architecture, domain-driven design, testing strategies, API design, and API security.
