Engineering Manager, Identity & Access Platform

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a high-performing Identity Infrastructure team, going deep enough technically to set direction while empowering the team to own delivery.
• Define the strategy for identity platform as the policy plane for access across people, agents, workloads, services, clouds, and internal systems.
• Scale Access Manager for evolving human and agent lifecycles, making routine access automatic and sensitive access contextual, time-bound, and accountable.
• Build the access graph and resource catalog that make access decisions explainable, risk-aware, and grounded in ownership, sensitivity, environment, and usage.
• Replace broad standing privilege with risk-tiered access, so routine work stays fast, privileged access is narrow and observable, and break-glass is exceptional.
• Establish first-class authorization for agents and workloads, with delegated, action-scoped permissions, time-bound access, full attribution, and no credential sharing.
• Partner across Security, Infrastructure, Applied, Research, IT, and product to turn identity standards into systems teams trust and adopt.
• Operate identity infrastructure as a mission-critical platform, with clear reliability goals, safe rollouts, strong observability, healthy on-call, and rigorous incident learning.

Requirements

• 10+ years building and developing engineering teams that own large scale platforms.
• Experience owning security critical production systems where reliability, least privilege, auditability, and operational rigor are essential.
• Deep judgment across cloud infrastructure, IAM, authentication, authorization, workload identity, privileged access, and policy enforcement.
• Hands-on technical depth to go into code and architecture, pressure-test designs, and guide tradeoffs across correctness, performance, scale, and operability.
• Track record turning complex infrastructure problems into adopted platforms across Engineering, Security, Research, and internal teams.
• High bar for engineering quality, operational discipline, and long-term ownership.
