## About the Role

* 5+ years of experience building and shipping production backend systems, with a track record of owning critical services end to end - not just contributing to them.
 * Comfort with Typescript or Javascript - with deep experience in building web-scale applications.
 * Hands-on experience building authentication, authorization, identity, permissions, security, or similar platform infrastructure.
 * Strong understanding of API design, distributed systems, databases, and operational reliability.
 * Strong sense of ownership and urgency - you don't wait for perfect requirements, you drive toward clarity and keep things moving.

## Description

* Help build the foundation for secure access at Owner - design and improve the authentication and authorization systems that power every product surface across the platform.
 * Own critical auth infrastructure end to end - contribute to systems for login, sessions, token management, service-to-service auth, account security, and access enforcement.
 * Improve reliability and observability - instrument auth services with the alerting, dashboards, and runbooks needed to detect issues quickly and keep critical access flows healthy.
 * Raise the security bar - identify risks, improve controls, and help ensure authentication and authorization are designed thoughtfully from the beginning, not added as an afterthought.
 * Leverage AI tools to move faster - use AI tooling to accelerate your work, from writing and reviewing code to exploring solutions and automating repetitive tasks.
 * Help us build a great team - interview candidates, share technical context, and raise the bar for how we build.

Who you'll work with

 * A small, focused authentication and authorization team - you'll work closely with a tight-knit group of engineers who own identity and access end to end.
 * Engineers across product, platform, infrastructure, and security - auth is a foundation every team depends on, so you'll partner closely on APIs, access patterns, and implementation standards.
 * Product and Design - to ensure access flows are secure, intuitive, and aligned with the needs of restaurants and internal teams.
