Partner with the best

You will join a global team and lead a team of engineers responsible for delivering high-quality IAM features and tools. You'll balance technical oversight with people management, coaching engineers, clarifying requirements, driving execution, and ensuring alignment with product and SRE partners.

  • Providing technical guidance and setting best practices for back-end architecture and development
  • Partnering with product management, QA, SRE, Senior Leadership, and other engineering teams to deliver cohesive user experiences
  • Having oversight of delivery across the full project lifecycle: organizing, planning, development, testing, and release
  • Driving consistency through tooling and engineering standards
  • Supporting hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, and career growth for team members

Do what you love

To be successful in this role you will:

  • Have 8 years of relevant experience and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field
  • Demonstrate solid knowledge of back-end technologies including Python
  • Demonstrate solid understanding and experience with large, low-latency, and highly-available distributed systems
  • Have experience with IAM concepts and platforms
  • Possess a clear understanding of Software Development Life Cycle and Agile planning
  • Have prior leadership experience and excellent communication skills and a passion for building inclusive, high-performing engineering teams

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
