## About the Role

* Strong experience as a backend or platform engineer, building production data pipelines that other teams depend on using Dagster, Airflow, or comparable orchestration, with sharp instincts for correctness, idempotency, retries, and operational visibility in systems that hundreds of third-party integrations flow through.
 * Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages (Python, Go, or TypeScript), with a focus on clean API design, testability, and observability.
 * A strong instinct for data correctness, SLOs, and shift-left detection in systems where downstream products act on the output, catching a partial failure at 20% beats a customer report at 100%.
 * Experience with circuit breakers, self-healing systems, and operational rigor in business-critical, high-volume pipelines.
 * Familiarity with identity and access governance (IGA) data (identities, accounts, entitlements, group memberships) and how its correctness, freshness, and traceability shape downstream governance outcomes at scale.

## Description

* Design and implement core components of our identity sync pipeline, including the ingestion, transform, validation, and install stages that turn raw identity data into a trusted foundation other products depend on.
 * Build and extend our sync observability framework, enabling reusable patterns for monitoring, alerting, failure detection, and operational tooling across a high-volume, integration-driven pipeline.
 * Work across teams to close monitoring and reliability gaps, catching sync failures and stalled jobs before they reach customers.
 * Contribute to a strong operational foundation by building the safety nets, circuit breakers, and self-healing reconciliation that keep identity data trustworthy at scale.
 * Drive key technical decisions and lead by example, through architecture reviews, mentoring, and pairing with other engineers on complex sync and correctness problems.
 * Champion resilience, observability, and scalability in every layer of the identity sync stack.
