Software Engineer (Platform Services)

Join MeridianLink, a leading provider of SaaS solutions for the financial services industry. As a Software Engineer on the Platform Services team, you will build and maintain the foundational systems that power identity, authentication, and integration capabilities across our multi-product platform. You will work with AI-assisted workflows and have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the company's success.

• Concevoir, mettre en œuvre et maintenir des services de plateforme qui gèrent l'identité fédérée, les flux d'authentification et l'application des autorisations.
• Utiliser activement des outils de développement assistés par l'IA pour accélérer la conception, la mise en œuvre et la validation des services de plateforme.
• Participer à des discussions de conception et à des revues de code, donner et recevoir des commentaires de manière constructive.
• A strong candidate for this role has hands-on experience with OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and JWT, understands how authorization frameworks work in practice, and knows what it takes to integrate identity services into real-world applications
• 3-5 years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to own and deliver features independently in a production environment
• Practical understanding of authorization frameworks: how policies are modeled, enforced, and integrated into application and platform services
• Hands-on experience building backend services in .NET or Python, including RESTful API development
• Demonstrated experience implementing or integrating with federated identity systems using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML 2.0, and/or JWT in production applications
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including relevant managed services for networking, compute, and secrets management
• Proficiency in .NET or Python for backend service development; familiarity with modern API frameworks (e.g., .NET 9+, FastAPI, etc.)
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS integration patterns, including tenant-scoped configuration and user identity across application boundaries
• Active use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) as part of a daily engineering workflow
• Proficiency with standard development tooling: Git, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and automated testing
• Working knowledge of identity protocol mechanics: authorization code flow, token introspection, claims-based access, assertion handling, and SSO logout behavior
• Prior experience working with a commercial or open-source identity platform (e.g., an OIDC provider, IAM system, or enterprise SSO solution) in an engineering capacity, not just as a consumer
• Familiarity with token security considerations including signing, expiration, revocation, and safe storage patterns
• Experience modeling and implementing fine-grained authorization: RBAC, ABAC, or policy-based access control systems
• Prior experience building software in a financial services, fintech, or otherwise regulated technology environment
• Exposure to SOC 2 or similar compliance frameworks from an engineering perspective
• Experience building internal platform capabilities used by other engineering teams, not just end-user-facing features
• Experience contributing to AI harnesses, evaluation pipelines, or tooling that improves engineering workflow throughput
• Comfort using AI tools not just for code completion but for design exploration, test generation, and investigation
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience
