HR and identity lifecycle automation platform for enterprise integrations
Aquera processes over 1.5 billion identity and HR transactions annually across 1,200+ customers, automating joiner-mover-leaver workflows at scale. The tech stack reveals a platform built on AWS microservices (Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, Postgres) with heavy emphasis on API-first design (OpenAPI, SCIM, SOAP), test automation (Cypress, Playwright, Postman, REST Assured), and identity governance tooling (SailPoint IdentityNow, Saviynt, Oracle Identity Governance). Active hiring skews toward engineering and product, with current projects focused on go-to-market expansion for the identity integration module, API automation, and docs-as-code workflows—signaling a shift from pure integration automation toward self-serve identity governance capabilities.

The platform connects 80+ HR systems, 20+ identity directories, 10+ ITSMs, and 1,000+ business applications, handling workflows like employee onboarding, payroll provisioning, benefits administration, and IT access management. Built on AWS and SOC 2 Type 2 audited, the platform serves mid-market and enterprise organizations that need to orchestrate identity and HR data flows across disconnected systems. The company is headquartered in Seattle and operates as a privately held SaaS vendor with 201–500 employees.
