Software Engineer (L3)

See yourself at Twilio

Join the team as a Senior Software Engineer for Stytch, where you'll shape the next generation of identity products.

About the job

As a Senior Software Engineer you will help scale Stytch's core product as we bring Stytch capabilities to Twilio's full customer base, delivering secure, developer-first identity experiences. You'll build backend APIs that power authentication, authorization, and emerging agentic and non-human identity use cases. You'll partner closely with product and engineering leadership to design and deliver high-impact customer-facing features, and evolve our platform for Twilio's scale. This is a rare chance to operate like a startup within Twilio: you'll work in a high-ownership environment with startup speed, backed by Twilio's reach and scale.

Responsibilities

• Build and own backend product capabilities for Stytch's identity platform on Twilio—shipping new API surfaces and core authentication flows, including agentic and non-human identity use cases.
• Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to set direction, translate customer needs into product capabilities, and deliver high-impact roadmap features.
• Collaborate across Twilio and Stytch teams to align on architecture, integrate platform capabilities, and unblock cross-team initiatives.
• Operate with deep technical ownership: author design docs, drive key technical decisions, review code, and stay close to the systems you ship.
• Build in ambiguity—break down complex problems, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and design developer experiences that delight our customers.
• Improve production quality and resilience through strong observability, incident response and remediation.
• Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, feedback, and knowledge-sharing, helping raise the team's technical bar and culture.
