Security Software Engineer 5

Requirements

• Ability to work collaboratively to solve problems, navigate ambiguity, make and communicate self-directed decisions, and weigh trade-offs. You take ownership of problems and are able to influence others.
• Experience building scalable, reliable, high-availability, and low-latency services.
• Proficiency in modern languages (Java preferred, or Kotlin, Go, Python) and an openness to work across the tech stack as needed.
• Experience designing and building developer-facing APIs, SDKs, and integration patterns that make complex systems straightforward for other teams to adopt.
• Familiarity with access control and IAM concepts — identity, authentication, authorization, roles, groups, attributes, and resource models. Experience with auth protocols, including OpenID Connect, OAuth, SAML, and SCIM, is valuable; strong software engineering fundamentals with an interest in the domain are equally welcome.
• Experience with GraphQL, gRPC, REST, or similar technologies.
• Effective written communication skills and a product-focused mindset, with a security-first approach, enabling you to deliver practical solutions while working across EMEA and UCAN time zones in an async-first environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing complex access control models using industry standards like RBAC, ABAC, or ReBAC.
• Experience with continuous integration and continuous deployment in a cloud platform.
• Experience with NoSQL technologies such as Hive, Presto, Spark, or Cassandra.
• Experience with graph databases.
• Experience with React or another modern frontend framework for full-stack work.

What You'll Be Doing

• This role focuses on building the access experience layer at Netflix — designing, building, and operating the services that make access control safe and straightforward for hundreds of internal engineering teams.
• Working on a mix of projects encompassing ownership of system design, implementation, partner integration, rollout strategy, and maintenance of access tooling and integration services.
• Serving as an in-time-zone security anchor and partnering directly with ACE Core and ARC on security architecture decisions.

Perks and Benefits

• Remote work option within Poland.
• Opportunity to work in an async-first model.
• Be part of the Access Experience Engineering (AXE) team in Warsaw, Poland.
• Collaborate with global workforce and partners in varied locations and devices.
