Job Description Summary:
About the Role
We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical vision, architecture, and deployment of our enterprise Identity & Access Management (IAM) platform. In this role, you will own the evolution of our core identity services, driving deep customizations in Keycloak, automating zero-downtime infrastructure deployments, and scaling our authentication and authorization footprint.
As a Staff Engineer, you will bridge the gap between core Java backend engineering, modern IAM protocols, cloud-native GitOps workflows, and modern AI-driven software engineering practices to accelerate development and boost team productivity.
In this role, you will lead the technical direction for identity systems that secure millions of users, handle high-throughput authentication, and enforce fine-grained access control across our entire ecosystem.
As a technical leader on the team, you will balance deep hands-on architectural design with cross-functional mentorship, working closely with Security, Infrastructure, and Product teams.
What You’ll Do
Core IAM Architecture: Drive the roadmap and architecture for our centralized authentication and authorization platforms, leveraging Keycloak as a core engine.
Custom Development: Design, build, and maintain custom SPI extensions, providers, and high-performance services in Java.
Identity Lifecycle & Provisioning: Architect robust SCIM integrations for user provisioning and streamline audit logging and security monitoring integrations with SIEM systems.
GitOps & Infrastructure as Code: Lead the automation of our identity infrastructure using Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and ArgoCD to maintain secure, reproducible, and self-healing environments.
Security & Protocol Leadership: Implement and harden OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and fine-grained access control across service-to-service and user-facing architectures.
AI-Assisted Engineering: Leverage AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, LLM-driven coding assistants) to accelerate development workflows, automate unit test generation, optimize Keycloak extension code, and establish AI best practices across the team.
Hands-On Development: Work on critical initiatives leading them to completion.
Technical Ownership & Mentorship: Lead RFCs, conduct architecture reviews, and mentor senior engineers across the engineering organization.
What We’re Looking For
Experience: 8+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership at a Staff or Principal level in IAM, Security, or Core Infrastructure.
Keycloak & Java Expertise: Deep hands-on experience extending, scaling, and operating Keycloak in production, alongside mastery of Java and JVM internals.
AI-Driven Software Development: Proven experience incorporating AI tools and LLM workflows into daily…
