Join our distinguished team as a senior software engineer specializing in Identity to lead the transformation from static access models to adaptive, policy-based orchestration. You will architect systems that enable Just-In-Time (JIT) access, abstracting legacy IGA components into a centralized, automated model while ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards. Your daily tasks include designing an authorization fabric that integrates multi-dimensional telemetry for dynamic risk assessments and building developer-centric APIs to foster self-sufficiency within our product teams. Ideal candidates possess extensive experience in modernizing legacy systems, coding in languages like Java, Python, or Go, and implementing policy engines such as Open Policy Agent (OPA). This role is pivotal in a highly regulated financial environment, requiring expertise in high-scale distributed systems and the principles of Zero Trust architecture.
