## About the Role

* 6+ years building and operating production software and systems at a technology company, with a track record of owning ambiguous projects end to end.
 * Strong software engineering fundamentals. You write production code (we lean on Python, TypeScript and Rust), and design, test, and ship it. This is not a systems admin role.
 * Deep, hands-on IAM experience (SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC) and fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD.
 * Experience treating endpoint and fleet management as an API-driven engineering surface at scale.
 * A platform-as-a-product mindset. You have built self-service tooling that people chose to adopt.
 * Comfort with ambiguity and a founder's temperament; energized by building from scratch.

Bonus Points

 * Hands-on experience with Okta, Jamf, or Intune.
 * Experience with identity and access governance for non-human, workload, or AI-agent principals.
 * Background at a high-growth consumer tech company with a highly technical employee base.

## Description

* Automate the identity layer: Manage identity systems and their connections to downstream apps as code, from SSO and SCIM integrations to account workflows, so changes ship through version control and CI/CD instead of an admin console.
 * Own app delivery and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns that let internal systems be built and changed safely, establishing CI/CD standards.
 * Build the self-service layer: Design and ship the APIs, CLIs, and portals that compose primitives into paved paths, like a new hire's first day, where software access and group memberships land in one automated, auditable flow.
 * Set the foundation: Define the technical direction and architecture for the discipline, writing the RFCs and documentation that future hires will build on.
