Principal Platform Engineer || Identity Platform (AuthN/AuthZ)

• Substantial hands-on experience building and operating platforms or shared infrastructure that support software engineering teams.
• Strong coding and scripting skills applied to infrastructure, automation, deployment tooling or integrations. You should be comfortable maintaining code, reviewing changes and using automated tests.
• Experience automating provisioning, configuration, deployment and operational tasks through version-controlled, repeatable workflows.
• Production experience with Kubernetes and containers in an environment delivering and operating software applications.
• Practical experience with a major public cloud platform, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD and GitOps.
• Experience building reusable platform capabilities or self-service workflows that reduce manual work for engineering teams.
• Sound understanding of APIs, networking, data stores and distributed-system behaviour, with the ability to troubleshoot production issues.
• Evidence of technical leadership through design decisions, code reviews, engineering standards and support for other engineers.

Experience developing application or backend services is a strong advantage, but is not required. Your coding experience may come primarily from infrastructure and platform engineering. You should be willing to work with our Go-based tooling and services and develop your capabilities where needed.

• Practical experience implementing authentication and access control within software applications, APIs or shared platform services.
• Working knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and token-based authentication, including secure validation and common failure modes.
• Understanding of permission models, least privilege and tenant isolation, and the ability to explain where access decisions are enforced.
• The ability to translate security requirements into working software, automated tests and maintainable platform capabilities.
