Senior Software Engineer, Identity & Trust

You'll design and develop distributed, cloud-native backend services that power key features within the Identity and Trust Platform. You'll define and implement the foundational data model and APIs that serve as the single system of record for customers, entities, and users within your area of ownership. You'll drive the strategic implementation of identity and customer lifecycle logic, migrating it out of legacy systems into resilient, observable, Identity Platform-first services. You'll implement core platform capabilities, including components of the unified entitlements layer and shared compliance context. You'll partner with Product, Compliance, and other engineering teams to champion standard integration patterns and contracts for the platform. You'll champion engineering excellence in architecture, code quality, testing, and operational practices, and you'll serve as a mentor to help grow junior members of the foundational platform team.
