What We're Looking For

  • 7 to 12 years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years managing engineers with direct reports.
  • Hands-on experience building or leading production authentication, authorization, IAM, or access-control systems.
  • Experience reviewing code and leading architecture and system design as part of a player-coach management role.
  • Knowledge of OAuth 2.0/OIDC, SAML, SCIM, RBAC/ABAC, and policy engines.
  • Experience with distributed systems and security platforms; AWS GovCloud experience is a plus.
  • Experience leading a security, identity, or authentication platform team serving other engineering teams is valuable.
  • A degree and current authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship are required.
  • An active security clearance and experience growing an engineering team are valued.
