Nearly every feature on the platform assumes that the user is who they say they are. The role of the Account Authentication pod is to provide that assurance at sign-up, login, account recovery and elsewhere. You Will: * Assume ownership of the complete lifecycle for full-stack features within Account Authentication. Past examples of this team's contributions include: * Supporting platform expansion onto consoles like Xbox and Playstation. * Providing mechanisms for users to go entirely passwordless from sign-up while still having recoverable accounts. * Scale our backend systems by supporting token authentication on edge nodes. * Implementing service accounts to support testing (and potentially NPCs) by 3P agents. Lead cross team collaboration across organizational and functional boundaries. Especially with various security, infra, and client platform teams. Mentor more junior engineers while also making individual technical contributions. We are looking for a hands-on technical lead. Take complete responsibility for projects throughout their entire lifecycle. Drive cross-functional engagement and lead technical initiatives to ensure the widespread adoption and success of our core safety applications. Propose and land solutions to ambiguous problems while leading cohorts of 2-4 more junior individual contributors. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Lessons learned from building a thriving Vue.js SaaS application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1666-lessons-learned-from-building-a-thriving-vue-js-saas-application) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [Slopquatting, API Keys, Fun with Fonts, Recruiters vs AI and more - The Best of LIVE 2025 - Part 2](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1765-slopquatting-api-keys-fun-with-fonts-recruiters-vs-ai-and-more-the-best-of-live-2025-part-2) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers)
