What We're Looking For

• Seven or more years of software engineering experience and at least three years managing engineers with direct reports.

• Production experience building or leading identity and access systems, such as authentication, authorization, IAM, or access control services.

• Experience with OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, RBAC or ABAC, and policy engines.

• Background leading a security, identity, or authentication platform used by other engineering teams; AWS GovCloud experience is valuable.
