Staff Software Engineer (Identity & Access Control)

ABOUT YOU We are seeking a visionary Staff Software Engineer – Identity & Access Management to architect, build, and scale the foundational security layer of our global ecosystem. In this role, you will take full ownership of our authentication and authorization infrastructure, ensuring that millions of users can securely interact with our services. Working at the intersection of security, platform stability, and developer experience, you will lead the design of mission-critical systems—from identity federation and complex token lifecycles to fine-grained access control models. This is a high-impact position for an engineer who excels in the Golang ecosystem and thrives on the complexity of high-stakes security systems. You aren’t just implementing protocols; you are building a resilient, multi-tenant identity fabric that supports everything from global gaming integrations to sophisticated SaaS architectures. If you have a deep-seated passion for data privacy, a "security-first" mindset, and the technical depth to navigate the nuances of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and beyond, you will find a home here.
