As a Software Engineer II on the Cloud LDAP team, you will build, scale, and operate JumpCloud’s LDAP-as-a-Service: the systems that let customers authenticate and look up users and groups over LDAP against the JumpCloud directory
You will work with a globally distributed engineering team on high-availability LDAP infrastructure—protocol handling, directory sync, replication, and edge serving—primarily on our Go, Python, and/or Node.js backend stacks. This role is LDAP development. You will implement and maintain LDAP protocol behavior, directory data pipelines, and the services in front of our OpenLDAP clusters, and you will use AI-assisted development tools ( Cursor, Gemini, Claude etc) to ship high-quality code faster
LDAP platform development: Design, implement, test, and deploy scalable, secure services that power Cloud LDAP, including protocol proxies, sync workers, and supporting APIs
Protocol & directory behavior: Own backend work for LDAP operations customers rely on—bind (including MFA-aware bind flows), search, compare, and related directory semantics (DNs, filters, attributes, schemas, ACLs)
Sync, replication, and availability: Contribute to how directory changes flow into LDAP (async create/update/delete), how data is replicated to regional read replicas, and how the service stays available under load and during failover
Edge & proxy services: Work on the LDAP request path (load balancing, connection limits, TLS/STARTTLS, eventing/observability, password handling, and related edge protections)
AI-driven efficiency: Use AI coding assistants to generate code, write solid automated tests, and speed up debugging—without skipping review or operational rigor
Cloud infrastructure: Run containerized services with Docker and Kubernetes and operate cloud-native components on AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, and related services)
Quality & automation: Add automated tests for new LDAP features and legacy paths, and use CI/CD to keep quality gates in place
Collaborative engineering: Partner with product and senior engineers across time zones on requirements, feasibility, and thorough code reviews. Participate in on-call for production LDAP alerts
