The Role
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the IDComply Engineering team. This is a high-growth opportunity where you will work on our flagship initiative: building the next generation of IDComply as a unified, comprehensive solution.
Your mission is to help architect and develop a single, robust product that seamlessly integrates KYC (Know Your Customer), KBC, Geolocation, and Anti-Fraud capabilities. You will be solving complex data aggregation challenges to provide our customers with a holistic view of user identity.
While our core stack is currently PHP, you will leverage distributed architecture and modern tooling to handle this integration at scale. You will work across the full engineering lifecycle, from writing application code to defining infrastructure and supporting automated quality assurance.
Key Responsibilities
- Unified Product Integration: Design and implement the business logic that binds KYC, KBC, Geolocation, and Anti-Fraud signals into a cohesive single-product experience.
- Distributed Architecture: Architect scalable systems using message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.) to handle asynchronous data processing from multiple external and internal data sources.
- Platform Engineering: Own your deployment environment by managing infrastructure with Terraform and container orchestration via Kubernetes (K8s).
- Quality & Automation: Partner with QA to drive automated testing architectures; ensure the system is testable, reliable, and that CI/CD pipelines are efficient.
- Observability: Implement heavy instrumentation and analytics to monitor the performance of complex data flows and ensure system reliability.
- Modernization: Maintain and improve core PHP services while gradually introducing Golang where performance and concurrency demands dictate.
Who You Are
- Computer Science background with demonstrable experience in software engineering.
- Integration Specialist: You have experience or a strong interest in connecting disparate systems (Identity, Fraud, Location) into a unified API or platform.
- Backend Expertise:
- Strong Experience with PHP + Laravel (8.0+).
- Proficiency in SQL/NoSQL (MongoDB, PostgreSQL).
- Systems Architecture: Experience designing distributed architectures and working with event-driven patterns and message brokers.
- Platform & DevOps Skills:
- Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform preferred).
- Experience with AWS.
- Willing to Learn/Use:
- Golang (for high-performance microservices).
Bonus Points
- Experience in the Fraud, Compliance, or Identity verification sectors.
- Frontend experience with Vue or React.
- Experience migrating legacy monoliths to service-oriented architectures.
- Previous experience as a team lead.
