What You'll Do
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of authentication security engineers, setting clear goals and fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement. Own engineering and L3 operations for enterprise SSO platforms, both commercial and homegrown. Drive engineering practices that treat authentication as a production service: infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and frequent, low-risk releases. Design and operate authentication services on cloud infrastructure with strong security, availability, and scalability characteristics.
Partner with security architecture, infrastructure, application, and compliance teams to translate authentication standards (OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SAML) into secure, reusable solutions. Manage incidents and drive blameless post-incident reviews that lead to durable fixes. Communicate status, risks, and strategy to senior leadership and stakeholders.
What You Bring Hands-on experience implementing and operating enterprise single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID. Experience with DevOps practices and continuous release environments, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automated deployment. Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and how to build secure, resilient services on it. Software development experience: while you won't be writing code, you should have prior experience and be able to read and review it.
Experience leading engineers or leading technical teams, with the ability to coach, set priorities, and deliver results through others. Strong understanding of authentication and authorization protocols and security fundamentals. Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders. Track record of running large-scale transformations, including stakeholder alignment, phased rollout, and change management.
