About the role

Core Responsibilities

Develop automation and tooling for corporate and customer-facing identity platforms

Build, secure, and manage geo-redundant containerized services (EKS and ECS) in AWS and Azure

Scale the implementation of Single Sign-On (SSO) integrations across multiple Entra ID tenants using infrastructure-as-code frameworks

Build tooling to standardize and scale operational workflows across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Extend the identity platform to non-human identities, treating workloads and AI agents as first-class principals with scoped, short-lived credentials

Build the governance layer: an access graph that makes entitlements legible and a policy engine that makes authorization decisions enforceable and auditable

Design token-issuance and federation flows that make least-privilege, ephemeral access the default

Research and drive adoption of emerging authentication and session security standards (such as device-bound session credentials and continuous access evaluation) in collaboration with Security Engineers

Pressure-test designs and partner with Identity Security Engineers to threat model implementations before they ship

Partner with Security Compliance Engineers to build services that reduce the cost and complexity of compliance enforcement

What We Value

Technical proficiency in identity protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, LDAP, Kerberos, FIDO2, WebAuthn)

Experience managing identities and governance workflows on platforms such as Entra ID, Keycloak, AWS Cognito, or Okta

Experience with policy engines and authorization-as-code, and with relationship-based access modeling or entitlement graph design

Experience with token issuance and federation, including OAuth 2.0 token exchange, short-lived credentials, and workload identity federation

Non-human identity experience: workload and machine identity (service-to-service authentication, mTLS, workload attestation), plus interest in agentic identity (agents as principals, delegation and on-behalf-of flows, and attribution across a delegation chain)

What We Require

3+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps, software engineering, or an equivalent discipline, with a strong passion for security

Experience deploying and operating containerized services (EKS, ECS, or similar) in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud

Experience building and operating production services or APIs, not only automation scripts

Expert-level proficiency in a language such as Go (preferred), Python, or TypeScript

Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation, or similar)

An active TS/SCI security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one
