• Own complex technical projects end-to-end, from design through delivery and production operation

• Drive technical decisions and contribute to architectural direction for access management infrastructure

• Improve system reliability, performance, and security for high-throughput, low-latency services

• Collaborate with teams across engineering and product to deliver unified authorization capabilities

• Mentor engineers and elevate team engineering practices

What We Look For

• 5+ years of software engineering experience

• Experience designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems in production environments

• Experience with one or more programming languages including Java, Scala, C++, or Go

• Understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, including concurrency, microservices architecture, and cloud infrastructure

• Experience with authorization systems, identity management, or security-focused infrastructure
