Job Details
- Required Skills
- Communication Skills
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with significant depth in identity, authentication, or authorization systems—you have built and operated these systems at scale.
- 3+ years of engineering management experience leading engineers (not just tech-leading projects) — you know how to run effective 1:1s, give hard feedback, and create clarity in ambiguous environments.
- Hands-on, current technical skills — you can read and review code, evaluate architecture decisions, and credibly challenge or support your team's technical direction.
- Proven success in system consolidation, ideally having led the migration from legacy or bespoke auth implementations to standardized, centralized platforms.
- Strong understanding of modern identity protocols and standards (authentication, authorization, federation, token-based architectures).
- Strategic vision to see beyond identity, with a background in infrastructure hardening and secure development lifecycles (SDLC).
- Strong communication skills — you can translate identity and security concepts for product managers, platform engineers, and executives without losing the technical substance.
Responsibilities
- Lead and develop a team of senior and staff-level engineers — provide hands-on technical mentorship, clear prioritization, and career development that keeps strong ICs engaged.
- Spearhead the migration and standardization of identity services onto a centralized platform, partnering with Platform Engineering on the long-term architecture.
- Drive operational excellence by hardening the existing identity stack, reducing incident frequency, and building the observability and rigor necessary to run mission-critical infrastructure.
- Participate in architectural and code reviews — you should be able to evaluate an identity flow, review a platform configuration, or debug a token validation issue alongside your engineers.
- Partner with engineering teams across the organization to improve their integration experience with identity services — better documentation, clearer APIs, faster onboarding.
- Collaborate with security and compliance teams to ensure identity architecture supports regulatory requirements and fraud prevention initiatives.
- Shape the security culture by moving the team toward broader platform security concerns, establishing secure development patterns that allow other engineering teams to build with confidence.
- Represent the team in incident reviews and cross-functional planning, translating high-level security trade-offs for non-technical audiences without losing the underlying substance.
