We are seeking a visionary Staff Software Engineer – Identity & Access Management to architect, build, and scale the foundational security layer of our global ecosystem. In this role, you will take full ownership of our authentication and authorization infrastructure, ensuring that millions of users can securely interact with our services.

If you have a deep-seated passion for data privacy, a "security-first" mindset, and the technical depth to navigate the nuances of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and beyond, you will find a home here.
