• Modernize Identity: Lead the implementation of OIDC and SAML integrations, enabling seamless federated Single Sign-On (SSO) for enterprise customers and strategic global partners.
• Solve Complex AuthZ: Evolve our Policy Engine (using industry standards like Rego/OPA) to support advanced resource-level permissions, dynamic scoping, and network-aware access conditions.
• Evolve Identity Models: Design and scale robust, multi-tenant data models to manage complex hierarchical structures (users, teams, organizations, and resource boundaries) that map to enterprise customer needs.
• Operational Excellence: Take ownership of service reliability, from fine-tuning Kubernetes deployments to migrating legacy data pipelines to modern eventing architectures.
• Security First: Proactively identify and remediate complex security vulnerabilities, ensuring our auth flows are resilient against credential stuffing, session hijacking, and configuration theft.
• Mentor & Lead: Act as a technical lead for major workstreams, conducting deep code reviews and mentoring junior engineers in distributed systems best practices.

What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean

• Experience: 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years focused on Identity (AuthN/AuthZ), Security Products, or high-scale Distributed Systems.
• Language Expert: Expert-level proficiency in Go and a strong understanding of gRPC microservices architecture.
• Identity Specialist: Deep knowledge of identity protocols (OIDC, OAuth2, SAML) and access control models (RBAC, ABAC, PBAC).
• Distributed Systems Guru: Proven ability to build systems that handle consensus, replication, and partitioning at cloud scale.
• Cloud Native: Working experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes), SQL (MySQL), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Problem Solver: A track record of "unwinding" complex legacy logic into clean, maintainable abstractions.
• Communication: Ability to communicate technical strategy to senior leadership and collaborate across teams (Inference, Billing, DOKS).

Nice to Have

• Experience with Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Rego.
• Familiarity with Cloud-native deployment strategies (Canary/Blue-Green) via kubernetes.

• Partner deeply with engineering leadership to drive delivery planning, estimates, dependency management, and release readiness, with a focus on predictable outcomes and minimal rework.
• Collaborate with UX and UI to design simple security experiences in the DigitalOcean console and API, then convert designs into actionable requirements, workflows, and instrumentation needs.
• Work cross-functionally across Security, IAM, Networking, Support, Billing, and service teams to ensure integrated customer journeys, clear ownership boundaries, and clean remediation paths.
• Define and maintain release criteria for your scope, including quality bars, rollout approach, customer readiness inputs, and internal enablement requirements.
• Produce clear written narratives and launch assets that explain customer value, expected behavior, and operational considerations, in partnership with Corporate Communications, Product Marketing, and Developer Relations.
• Create and maintain reusable templates, checklists, and stakeholder workflows that make product launches and customer updates consistent and low-friction.
• Help align incident response communications by maintaining customer-facing update templates, coordinating stakeholder workflows, and ensuring product and incident messaging remains accurate and timely during high-priority events.
• Use customer feedback, product data, and operational learnings to iterate quickly, reduce friction, and improve the effectiveness of Security Products over time.

Key Metrics: 

• Delivery predictability
• Backlog and requirement quality
• Dependency health
• Release readiness and launch quality
• Messaging consistency
• Incident communications readiness
• Customer outcomes for owned scope

What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean:

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management or a related technical field
• Prior product experience in cloud, SaaS, or security products preferred
• Strong ability to partner with engineering teams at a high level of technical detail
• Experience translating strategy and customer needs into clear engineering requirements, sequencing, and shippable increments
• Strong writing skills with the ability to produce clear requirements and documentation
• Experience with 0 to 1 product development or early-stage product execution
• Understanding of security concepts such as posture management, IAM, logging, or WAF preferred
• Experience working with design tools like Figma, UX and UI teams to translate problem statements into intuitive experiences
• Ability to work across multiple teams to align on requirements, dependencies, and system interactions
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with evolving inputs and a bias toward action
• A collaborative, low-ego approach that strengthens team health and accelerates delivery

Compensation Range: 

• $159,200.00 - $199,000.00
