You’ll build and evolve secure, scalable IAM capabilities—SSO, MFA, token services, policy, and role management—integrating platforms like Auth0 and Okta with our applications and API Gateway. You’ll collaborate closely with Security, Infrastructure, and Product engineering teams to drive best practices, reliability, and a great developer experience. You’ll also set the bar for code quality and operational excellence through clear designs, thoughtful documentation, and hands‑on mentorship What You’ll Need to Be Successful 4 years of software development experience delivering and operating production services. Ownership of mission‑critical systems, including support for incident response and production troubleshooting.

Practical expertise in IAM: designing authn/authz flows; token‑based auth (OAuth/JWT); SSO and MFA; secure session and policy/role management. Hands‑on with identity platforms such as Auth0 and/or Okta, integrating identity with diverse applications and services. Proficiency with modern stacks and tooling, e.g., Go, JavaScript, Terraform, and operational tooling for deploy/monitoring. Data and systems fundamentals: modeling complex persisted data; performance tuning of code and database queries. Familiarity with storage and messaging (e.g., Postgres, Redis, Kafka) and effective caching patterns. Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to simplify complex ideas and produce clear design docs/runbooks. Collaborative and mentoring mindset: generous with code reviews, eager to learn and to coach peers; results‑driven and pragmatic. Passion for continual learning and building reliable, high‑performance, secure systems that enable our engineers and delight our users.
