Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Identity

212k – 237kUnited StatesSecurity EngineeringRemote5+ YOE
Summary

Build and operate Temporal Cloud's identity platform including OAuth 2.0/OIDC, SAML auth, RBAC authorization, and workload identity integrations with enterprise IdPs. Requires 5+ years building production auth systems and strong Go proficiency.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Build and improve core parts of Temporal Cloud's identity platform — authentication (OAuth 2.0/OIDC, SAML), authorization (RBAC and policy-based access), and workload identity
  • Keep the auth path fast and reliable to meet Temporal Cloud's SLOs through caching, token handling, and revocation strategies
  • Integrate with enterprise identity providers (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace) and support user provisioning (SCIM), with attention to common identity threats such as token replay and privilege escalation
  • Partner with Security, Product, and platform teams to ship secure-by-default patterns and contribute to IAM lifecycle and audit practices
  • Write clear architecture and design docs, and contribute to the team's technical direction

What You'll Bring

  • Solid hands-on experience building and operating production identity or auth systems — OAuth 2.0/OIDC, SAML, JWT, and token/key rotation
  • Good understanding of authorization models (RBAC, ABAC); familiarity with policy engines like OPA, Cedar, or OpenFGA is a plus
  • Experience operating distributed systems in production, including some on-call responsibility
  • Proficiency in Go; experience with Python, Java, or Rust is a plus
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across security, product, and engineering teams

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to workload identity or short-lived / federated credentials (SPIFFE/SPIRE, mTLS, WIF)
  • Experience with SCIM provisioning and enterprise SSO integrations
  • Contributions to identity OSS projects (Keycloak, Ory, Dex, OpenFGA, SPIRE)
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA) as they apply to IAM
  • Familiarity with Temporal or other durable-execution engines, especially auth implications around workers and task queues
  • Experience designing customer-facing API auth (scoped tokens, API keys, rotation)

Compensation

  • Base Salary Range: $212,000 to $237,000
  • Equity Options: Eligible for stock options as part of Temporal's equity plan

Benefits

  • Unlimited PTO, 12 Holidays + 2 Floating Holidays
  • 100% Premiums Coverage for Medical, Dental, and Vision
  • AD&D, LT & ST Disability, and Life Insurance
  • Empower 401K Plan
  • $3,600 / Year Work from Home Meals
  • $1,800 / Year Professional Enrichment
  • $1,200 / Year Lifestyle Spending Account
  • $1,000 / Year In-Home Office Setup
  • $74 / Month Reimbursement for Internet
  • Calm App Subscription for Mental Health & Wellness
