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 software engineering (e.g., automated code generation, AI-assisted refactoring, test suite generation, and prompt engineering for development tasks).

• IAM Standards: Deep expertise in OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and SCIM for identity lifecycle management.

• Cloud-Native IaC & CI/CD: Strong experience building automated deployment pipelines and managing infrastructure via code.

• Security Operations: Hands-on experience integrating application logs, telemetry, and security events into SIEM solutions.

Nice-to-Haves / Strong Pluses

• Container & GitOps Tooling: Hands-on experience with ArgoCD, Helm, Ansible, and Terraform for automated Kubernetes and infrastructure management.

• Experience integrating AI capabilities or anomaly detection models into identity workflows and threat detection.

• Experience with zero-downtime Keycloak cluster upgrades and multi-region deployments.

• Familiarity with service-to-service authentication (mTLS) and fine-grained authorization frameworks.
