About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Lead to take full ownership of Valence’s SaaS integrations domain — the layer that connects our platform to dozens of external applications.
You’ll lead the evolution of hundreds of existing connectors, handling production issues, expanding capabilities, and driving product-driven development processes.

- Proven experience building and maintaining API integrations or SaaS connectors.
- Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, authentication mechanisms (OAuth2, tokens), and secure data handling.
- Experience deploying to and writing for production environments on a daily basis.
- Strong analytical and multi-tasking skills with a “get-things-done” mindset.
- Ability to work in a fast-changing environment — adaptable, confident, and self-driven.
- Demonstrated experience in using AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar) to enhance productivity and code quality.
Preferred Experience
- Prior experience in cybersecurity or SaaS infrastructure domains.
- Familiarity with least privileges and permission management in SaaS platforms.
- Background in automation, data normalization, or scraping.
- Previous experience leading or mentoring engineers (management experience is not mandatory).
