In this role, you will balance technical leadership, team management, and operational execution-ensuring our central authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and infrastructure automation deliver high performance, strict SLA adherence, and bulletproof security. While a background in IAM or security infrastructure is a major advantage, we value strong technical fundamentals, deep architectural acumen, exceptional organization, and a fast-learning mindset above all. You will work closely with our Technical Product Owner and Staff Engineer, diving deep into our platform functionality, actively participating in acceptance testing, and ensuring high-quality software delivery. What You'll Do * People & Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers. Foster a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, accountability, and psychological safety. * Deep Product & Quality Ownership: Dive deep into our identity services and Keycloak extensions to thoroughly understand feature workflows and business logic. Actively assist with user acceptance testing (UAT) and quality validation before releases. * Architectural Oversight & Challenge: Participate in design reviews and technical discussions-evaluating system trade-offs, keeping up with senior engineers, and challenging architectural assumptions to ensure scalable, resilient design. * Testing & CI/CD Standards: Drive a strong culture of automated testing (unit, integration, and end-to-end) and robust CI/CD practices to ensure reliable, zero-downtime deployment pipelines. * Engineering Execution & Delivery: Partner with the Technical Product Owner to drive delivery schedules, manage engineering velocity, unblock team members, and navigate technical dependencies. * SLA & Performance Focus: Establish and track operational metrics to ensure our platform consistently meets or exceeds strict uptime and latency SLAs. * AI-Accelerated Leadership: Encourage and guide the team in adopting AI-driven software development tools (e.g., Claude Code, LLM-based testing automation) to boost engineering efficiency and quality. * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Security, Compliance, and Product leadership to ensure alignment on security standards and platform delivery goals.
