Software Engineer, Admin Experience

The Admin Experience team is building the mission-critical foundations that make our platform enterprise-ready: authentication, authorization, security, compliance, public APIs, auditability, and beyond. As a member of this small but mighty team, you’ll work across the entire stack, from front-end admin experiences to high-scale backend services, to empower some of the world’s most sophisticated organizations to adopt our platform with confidence. You’ll shape the technical standards for security, observability, and reliability while delivering features that directly unlock enterprise growth.

A few of the cool things we work on:

• Designing intuitive, full-stack, end-to-end solutions for user-based and role-based data access (via mechanisms like OAuth) that feel seamless in a product that supports collaboration.
• Building secure, developer-friendly public APIs that allow enterprise admins to programmatically provision users, manage access, and automate governance at scale.
• Crafting powerful yet intuitive admin workflows for permissions, auditability, and compliance to give IT teams the confidence to manage complex org structures without friction.

The following are examples of the kind of work you can expect in this role:

• Build features like claimed domains to enable secure, automated provisioning and identity governance across large enterprises.
• Design and implement a next-generation access control system — including role-based access control (RBAC), request/approval flows for admins, and tiered admin roles that scale with complex organizations.
• Expose these capabilities through secure, developer-friendly public APIs, enabling enterprise admins to integrate provisioning, governance, and audit into their existing workflows.
• Own full-stack product changes end to end from backend policy enforcement to admin-facing workflows to ensure these enterprise features are intuitive, reliable, and secure.
• Propose and implement designs for well-architected, scalable systems in collaboration with the broader Hex team

• 5+ years of software engineering experience.
• Hands-on familiarity with enterprise integrations: SSO, SCIM-based provisioning, audit logs, MFA, delegated access.
• Experience working in a remote-first team and strong communication skills in this context.
• A passion for technical collaboration, including RFCs, code reviews, and architecture discussions.
• Deep interest in the data space, with a love for shipping great products and empowering end users.
• A strategic mindset that balances business and product goals with engineering excellence. You understand tradeoffs between user value and technical complexity, and operate pragmatically.
• A willingness to make changes anywhere in the stack to land impact.
• An ability to lead initiatives while mentoring and collaborating with fellow engineers.
