IBM develops AI-powered, cloud-native software and solutions that support digital transformation. This role is a full-stack software engineering position focused primarily on building security and identity user experiences with React, Redux, and TypeScript, while contributing to identity backend services. The engineer will work on authentication, authorization, RBAC, security tooling, operational excellence, and collaboration with AppSec and partner teams.
Deliver well-scoped tasks within the Security UI POD on time and with quality, with mentorship from senior engineers as you grow your craft
Build rich, intuitive frontend experiences (in React, Redux, and TypeScript) for security and identity workflows — this is where you'll spend most of your time
Make changes in the identity backend as needed (e.g., [authN/authZ, RBAC, SSO/SAML/OIDC, session management]) so you can own a feature across the stack rather than just the UI layer
Learn the design and architecture of a security sub-component (e.g., [identity / RBAC / audit logging]) and become its go-to component expert
Write one-pagers for your sub-tasks and get them reviewed by peers and stakeholders; participate in design reviews and PR reviews
Apply a security-first mindset throughout — input validation, least privilege, safe defaults — across both UI and identity services
Learn Confluent's coding and software-development practices, dev-prod systems, and release process, and contribute to operational excellence (tests, monitoring, runbooks)
Collaborate with AppSec and partner teams to implement and remediate security requirements
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's Degree
1-2+ years of software engineering experience (strong new grads with relevant internships/projects welcome)
Depth in frontend development with React, Redux, and TypeScript, and comfort working across the stack
Working proficiency in [backend language — e.g., Go, Java, C++, or another statically typed language], enough to make changes in the identity backend
Solid CS fundamentals and a growing understanding of distributed systems and cloud-native development
Interest in or exposure to security and identity concepts (authN/authZ, SSO/OIDC/SAML, encryption, common vulnerability classes, secure coding)
Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and work closely with mentors
Strong communication, collaboration, and ownership of your tasks
You have a frontend craft mindset — you care about UX quality, performance, and maintainable component architecture — while being comfortable dipping into the identity backend when a feature needs it
You bring a security-first mindset — careful, detail-oriented, and curious about how things can go wrong
You're eager to learn a domain deeply and become the trusted owner of a component
You take pride in delivering well-scoped work reliably and on time
Must have the ability to work in Canada without sponsorship
Preferred
Master's Degree
Coursework, internships, certifications, CTF/security-project experience, or exposure to identity, cryptography, or cloud security
