Responsibilities

  • Design and build shared authentication and authorization platform services across three hosting environments.
  • Develop and operate APIs, integrations, infrastructure code, automation, deployment tooling, and Go-based services.
  • Automate provisioning, configuration, deployment, upgrades, rollback, backup, recovery, and operational workflows through version-controlled pipelines.
  • Create documented self-service identity capabilities that reduce manual intervention for product engineering teams.
  • Operate containerized application services on Kubernetes in production.
  • Implement and maintain authentication flows, permission checks, access-control models, tenant isolation, and identity-provider integrations.
  • Own platform capabilities in production, including observability, performance testing, safe rollouts, failure diagnosis, and prevention of recurring incidents.
  • Provide technical leadership through design decisions, code reviews, engineering standards, and architectural guidance.

Requirements

  • Substantial hands-on experience building and operating platforms or shared infrastructure for software engineering teams.
  • Strong coding and scripting skills applied to infrastructure, automation, deployment tooling, or integrations, with experience maintaining code and automated tests.
  • Experience automating provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operational tasks through repeatable version-controlled workflows.
  • Production experience with Kubernetes and containers in software delivery environments.
  • Practical experience with a major public cloud platform, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and GitOps.
  • Experience building reusable platform capabilities or self-service workflows for engineering teams.
  • Sound understanding of APIs, networking, data stores, and distributed systems, with production troubleshooting experience.
  • Practical experience implementing authentication and access control in applications, APIs, or shared platform services.
  • Working knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, token-based authentication, secure validation, permission models, least privilege, and tenant isolation.
  • Ability to translate security requirements into working software, automated tests, and maintainable platform capabilities.
  • Evidence of technical leadership through design decisions, code reviews, engineering standards, and support for other engineers.
  • Experience with Curity, Keycloak, SpiceDB, enterprise federation, SAML, policy-as-code, or distributed multi-tenant identity systems is advantageous.
  • Experience with Go, PostgreSQL, and Kafka or RedPanda is advantageous.
  • Application or backend service development experience is beneficial but not required.
  • Candidates should have demonstrable hands-on experience designing, building, and shipping production AI applications; AI-tool usage alone is insufficient.

Benefits

  • Flexible and hybrid work opportunities are available to support diverse needs and lifestyles.
  • The role provides substantial technical ownership and impact across the engineering organization.
  • The position offers the opportunity to work on production AI systems, cloud-native technologies, and enterprise software at global scale.
