As AI agents become first-class actors in our systems, you'll design the tooling and policy that governs what they can do, how they prove who they are, and how we keep that access safe at massive scale. You'll also continue to evolve our workload authentication, privileged access management, and secure "golden path" for developers. Your work will directly shape the security posture of our entire production environment and set the standard for agentic IAM across the industry.

You have: 4+ years of relevant professional experience building scalable, distributed backend applications. Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, Go, C++, or C# .NET.

Knowledge of REST APIs, design patterns, and scalable containerized systems and microservices. Experience mentoring or leading the technical work of other engineers. Expertise in a couple of these areas will set you up for success: Familiarity with policy and identity frameworks like OPA, Topaz, SPIFFE/SPIRE, or similar technologies used for policy enforcement, workload attestation, and identity federation in cloud-native environments Experience with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) — design, implementation, or maintenance of PKI solutions Experience with Privileged Access Management (PAM) — implementing or maintaining PAM solutions to control, monitor, and audit privileged access within production environments Familiarity with access control models such as Role-Based (RBAC), Attribute-Based (ABAC), or Risk-Based Access Control For roles that are based at our headquarters in San Mateo, CA: The starting base pay for this position is as shown below.
