The position
Job description
Board Intelligence’s software is used by boards and leadership teams at some of the most heavily regulated organisations in the world, including major financial services firms
They trust us with their most sensitive information, and they expect our platform to meet the highest standards of security
We are setting up a new Platform Experience team to build the web applications and APIs that power the whole platform, rather than features for individual products or clients
This is a product engineering role, not a platform or infrastructure role
Much of the work is in authentication and security, and many of the most interesting problems come from what large enterprise clients ask of us
There is substantial work ready to start: a SCIM API so clients can automate user provisioning, and passkey (FIDO2) support
You will work alongside a highly experienced engineer who knows this area deeply
Design, build and ship the web applications and APIs that underpin the Board Intelligence platform
Lead work on platform features, such as authentication and identity, ensuring we have products that meet the expectations of our enterprise clients
Work directly with clients’ IT and technology teams to understand their requirements, ask the right questions and push back where needed
Build to the security and data protection standards that regulated financial services clients expect
Work across our stack, including Ruby, TypeScript (React), Python and Java
Share knowledge with colleagues and build depth in a critical part of the platform
Use AI tools such as Claude Code to move faster, while keeping engineering standards high
After three months: you know our core platform, our products and what our clients expect when handling sensitive data, and you have been contributing code from your first weeks
After six months: SCIM and passkey support are live with clients, and you are a recognised source of expertise in authentication across engineering
After twelve months: you are a go-to engineer in the Platform Experience team, trusted by clients’ technical teams and shaping how the platform evolves

Preferred experience
Confidence working with clients’ technical teams: asking good questions and pushing back rather than saying yes to everything
Experience building and maintaining web applications and APIs in production
Experience using AI coding tools in your day-to-day work, with the judgement to keep quality high
Fluent written and spoken English
Strong engineering foundations that carry across languages and frameworks, including system design, testing and code quality
Professional experience with Ruby, alongside at least one other language: we want an engineer who is comfortable across languages, but has significant Ruby experience
Upper mid-level to senior professional software engineering experience
Experience in a regulated enterprise environment, such as financial services, and an understanding of why enterprise clients ask for what they do
Experience building or integrating authentication systems, such as SSO, SAML, OpenID Connect, SCIM or passkeys
Experience with TypeScript and React, Python or Java
A strong interest in security and data protection
