We are seeking a Staff Engineer to join one of the engineering teams building KnowBe4s core Security Awareness Training product. This is a full-stack role requiring depth across a Ruby on Rails backend, contemporary front-end technologies (Vue 3, SvelteKit), and complex AWS infrastructure.
As a Staff Engineer, you are a technical leader in day-to-day engineering. Youll work within a platform ecosystem of microservices deployed across our AWS regions, helping ensure we meet rigorous FedRAMP Moderate, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 standards. Our front-end is actively evolving were rewriting our micro-frontends (MFEs) to Vue 3 so youll both shape that migration and keep our current SvelteKit application healthy. You lead through your engineering, your judgment, and your ability to bring other engineers along with you.
What Youll Build
- Full-stack product features and subsystems: Ruby on Rails APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and Vue 3 / SvelteKit + TypeScript front-ends that ship real value to a global customer base
- The Vue 3 front-end direction: owning key parts of the micro-frontend (MFE) rewrite onto Vue 3, setting patterns others build on, while keeping the existing SvelteKit application maintainable
- GraphQL APIs at scale: schema design, batch loading, and query complexity management for high-traffic, multi-tenant access patterns
- Event-driven services: EventBridge/SQS-based communication between microservices, with an emphasis on idempotency, reliability, and asynchronous processing at scale
- Serverless background processing: evolving and optimizing our Lambda-backed worker framework (400+ workers) that powers the products async workload
- Multi-tenant data strategy: architecting patterns across MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and Redis while maintaining strict tenant isolation and compliance guarantees
- Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform modules and GitLab CI/CD pipelines that provision and deploy se
