Manager, Software Engineering - Identity Platform

Experienced engineering leader (8–10+ years in engineering, 3+ years managing senior and staff engineers).

Deep backend engineering expertise, you have a strong foundation in building and scaling backend systems, and you can credibly engage with your engineers on architecture, performance, and design trade-offs.

Breadth across the stack, you've led teams delivering across multiple product lines and paradigms: from synchronous API services (Java/Spring Boot) to batch and event-driven ETL pipelines (Python/Airflow), and you know how to apply the right tool for each problem.

Operational excellence and incident management, you hold a high bar for system reliability and on-call hygiene, drive blameless post-mortems, and ensure your team can detect, respond to, and learn from incidents quickly.

Hands-on AI-first mindset: you embrace AI/ML to improve team velocity, drive automation, and reduce manual review rates.

Comfortable engaging directly with enterprise customers and compliance officers, translating technical decisions into clear narratives for non-technical stakeholders.
