You’ll partner with peers in infrastructure and machine learning to deliver high-performance AI systems, and mentor engineers across multiple squads.

• Build scalable IAM services and features, including user management, role-based access control, policy enforcement, and audit logging
• Develop and maintain authentication and authorization services, including OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, and custom token-based solutions
• Contribute to engineering design efforts across the backend domain - architecture reviews, and system evolution strategies
• Collaborate closely with platform and infrastructure to deliver reliable, secure, production-grade services
• Maintain high standards for code quality, observability, and maintainability through reviews and best practices
• Identify and resolve security issues, performance bottlenecks, or reliability challenges within your domain

What You Bring:

• Proven expertise in Golang and cloud-native backend development
• Deep knowledge of OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, JWT
• Understanding of cryptography fundamentals (TLS, PKI, key rotation, secrets management)
• Experience implementing RBAC and Zero-Trust principles
• Experience with Postgresql or other databases
• Experience designing scalable, low-latency microservices for authentication and authorization
• A bias for action, accountability, and leading by example

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):

• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native services
• Experience with Auth0 and/or Keycloak
• Familiarity with confidential computing and zero-trust networking
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks like SOC2, HIPAA, FedRAMP, or GDPR.

Qualities we look for:

• Set the standard: Every single day, you spot opportunities to constructively shake things up.
• Inspire the change: There's no blueprint for the future. You’ll embrace challenges and change.
• You’re real and you’re true to yourself: We cherish and celebrate diversity so you’ll feel right at home whoever you are and whoever you’re talking to, you treat everyone the same.
