We value winning together—while learning, having fun, and making a profound difference for the dreamers and builders in the world.
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (IC3) to join our Customer Trust & Engineering team working on Identity and Access Management. IAM is the bedrock of trust at DigitalOcean; our services sit in the critical path of every request, authorizing billions of transactions per second with single-digit millisecond latency.
In this role, you won't just maintain existing systems—you will architect the next generation of our Identity platform. You will be instrumental in supporting our AI initiatives, building seamless SSO integrations for global partners, and evolving our policy engine to support complex, agentic workflows. If you are passionate about distributed systems, security-first engineering, and building at hyperscale, this is the team for you.
What You’ll Do
- Architect for Scale: Design and develop high-availability, low-latency authentication and authorization services in Go that scale to handle massive load spikes across global regions.
- Drive Next-Gen Innovation: Build the IAM foundations for emerging cloud-native AI/ML platforms, designing secure token exchange patterns and identity context injection for agentic AI workflows.
- 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.
Compensation Range:
- $140,800 - $176,000

- 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.

We value winning together—while learning, having fun, and making a profound difference for the dreamers and builders in the world.
We’re seeking a technically strong Product Manager to lead Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for our customers. This role is focused on building customer-facing identity and collaboration capabilities—not internal enterprise IT systems. You’ll define and deliver the foundational security layer that enables customers to securely manage users, teams, projects, and cloud resources at scale.
You will own the strategy for DigitalOcean’s identity platform, spanning user onboarding, authentication (e.g., 2FA), and fine-grained role-based access controls. In parallel, you’ll drive the vision for machine identity—enabling workloads and services to securely authenticate and interact using modern, short-lived credentials instead of static secrets.
As the IAM/RBAC Technical Product Manager, you will set the roadmap for Customer Identity (CIAM) and secure collaboration, partnering closely with engineering, design, security, sales, and customers to deliver scalable, high-impact solutions. You’ll measure product performance, incorporate customer feedback, and continuously evolve the platform to meet the needs of growing, security-conscious organizations.
What You’ll Be Doing:

Set and drive the long-term strategy for identity and access management across the platform. Define the roadmap for access controls, permissions, and secure authentication protocols that protect customers while enabling growth. - Design modern workload identity systems
Lead the development of a cloud-native workload identity framework that enables compute resources to assume ephemeral, short-lived identities for secure, least-privilege access to platform services. - Establish service authorization
Define standards and deliver solutions for secure service-to-service authentication and authorization. Ensure backend systems communicate and verify one another within a scalable architecture. - Deliver developer-first security experiences
Translate complex security and compliance requirements into intuitive, API-first capabilities. Build seamless permission management experiences across Droplets, Databases, Kubernetes, and other core products. - Enable secure multi-tenancy and collaboration
Define how modern, digital- and AI-native organizations manage service accounts, and securely share resources within the ecosystem—balancing flexibility with strong governance controls. - Lead cross-functional roadmap execution
Partner with engineering, security, compliance, and go-to-market teams to prioritize and deliver scalable IAM capabilities that meet business goals and the demands of a global cloud platform. - Measure impact and continuously improve
Establish clear KPIs to track adoption, reliability, performance, and customer outcomes. Use data and feedback to iterate and evolve IAM capabilities over time. - Champion the customer voice
Engage directly with customers and the developer community to understand emerging needs and ensure IAM solutions support secure, scalable growth. - Ensure security and regulatory alignment
Drive compliance with global security standards and privacy regulations, embedding best practices into all customer-facing identity products.
Competencies
- Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of cloud-scale identity protocols (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, SPIFFE) and how they apply to cloud environments.
- Product Craft: Ability to design “infrastructure-as-the-product,” focusing on ease of use and developer-centric workflows for customers of various capabilities.
- Communication: Exceptional skills in influencing cross-functional teams and articulating the value of security features to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strategic Problem Solving: Capacity to think through complex authorization models and resource-sharing logic at a platform level.
- Customer Centricity: Passion for understanding the friction points developers face when managing security and building solutions that remove those hurdles.
- Organizational Skills: Excellent organizational and time management skills, able to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in Product Management, specifically focused on customer-facing IAM, security, or cloud infrastructure products.
- Proven experience in managing the full product lifecycle for high-scale, multi-tenant software.
- Deep understanding of IAM/RBAC technologies, cloud-based systems, and cybersecurity principles
- Knowledge of common IAM protocols and standards (e.g., OAuth, OpenID Connect, SCIM).
- Prior experience working with Agile development methodologies.
- Familiarity with cloud hosting, virtualization, and API-first product design.
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in IAM or security-related product roles.
- Experience building customer identity and access management (CIAM) systems or developer tools.
- Deep familiarity with SPIFFE/SPIRE, OIDC-based workload federation, or designing automated credential management systems for large-scale cloud environments.
- Professional certifications like CISSP, CISM, CISA, or relevant product management certifications.
- Past success in shaping highly scalable software products with an eye on ease-of-use.

Set and drive the long-term strategy for identity and access management across the platform. Define the roadmap for access controls, permissions, and secure authentication protocols that protect customers while enabling growth. - Design modern workload identity systems
Lead the development of a cloud-native workload identity framework that enables compute resources to assume ephemeral, short-lived identities for secure, least-privilege access to platform services. - Establish service authorization
Define standards and deliver solutions for secure service-to-service authentication and authorization. Ensure backend systems communicate and verify one another within a scalable architecture. - Deliver developer-first security experiences
Translate complex security and compliance requirements into intuitive, API-first capabilities. Build seamless permission management experiences across Droplets, Databases, Kubernetes, and other core products. - Enable secure multi-tenancy and collaboration
Define how modern, digital- and AI-native organizations manage service accounts, and securely share resources within the ecosystem—balancing flexibility with strong governance controls. - Lead cross-functional roadmap execution
Partner with engineering, security, compliance, and go-to-market teams to prioritize and deliver scalable IAM capabilities that meet business goals and the demands of a global cloud platform. - Measure impact and continuously improve
Establish clear KPIs to track adoption, reliability, performance, and customer outcomes. Use data and feedback to iterate and evolve IAM capabilities over time. - Champion the customer voice
Engage directly with customers and the developer community to understand emerging needs and ensure IAM solutions support secure, scalable growth. - Ensure security and regulatory alignment
Drive compliance with global security standards and privacy regulations, embedding best practices into all customer-facing identity products.
Competencies
- Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of cloud-scale identity protocols (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, SPIFFE) and how they apply to cloud environments.
- Product Craft: Ability to design “infrastructure-as-the-product,” focusing on ease of use and developer-centric workflows for customers of various capabilities.
- Communication: Exceptional skills in influencing cross-functional teams and articulating the value of security features to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strategic Problem Solving: Capacity to think through complex authorization models and resource-sharing logic at a platform level.
- Customer Centricity: Passion for understanding the friction points developers face when managing security and building solutions that remove those hurdles.
- Organizational Skills: Excellent organizational and time management skills, able to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in Product Management, specifically focused on customer-facing IAM, security, or cloud infrastructure products.
