Role overview

Join the Authentication engineering team as an individual contributor focused on the cloud services and infrastructure behind an enterprise identity verification platform. The work centers on a multi-year migration of authentication workloads to the cloud, with an emphasis on building services that are reliable, scalable, performant, and secure. You will partner closely with experienced engineers, test, research, and product teammates while owning well-scoped projects end to end.

Responsibilities

Requirements

- Hands-on experience developing production applications in Go or Python on a cloud-focused platform. - Familiarity with AWS-native services such as Kinesis, DynamoDB, and S3. - Self-starter who executes reliably within a team of strong engineers and follows through on commitments. - Clear written and verbal communication, including precise documentation skills. - Experience collaborating with product and customer-facing teams to deliver real-world use cases. - Resilience in the face of change and ambiguity, with an optimistic, delivery-oriented mindset.
