As a Senior Architect in the Emerging Technologies organization, you will play a hands-on role in shaping and implementing architectural solutions for two critical initiatives: Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) and AI Products. For FGA, your day-to-day work involves innovating graph computation algorithms to ensure low-latency authorization under complex identity hierarchies, while also designing probabilistic logic to handle massive-scale data efficiently. In the AI Products domain, you will architect foundational tools for securing autonomous agents in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. This role demands expertise in graph theory and distributed systems, with a focus on delivering high-quality code that bridges complex system integrations. You must have extensive experience as a Senior Architect or Distinguished Engineer, a strong background in authorization/identity, and proficiency in relevant technologies and tools, including graph algorithms and distributed computing frameworks.

Skills

Graph Algorithms Distributed Systems Python Go Rust PostgreSQL Kubernetes CI/CD AWS Terraform Prometheus Grafana

What you'll do

Design and implement low-latency fine-grained authorization systems for complex identity hierarchies.
Develop workload-aware heuristics to prioritize and resolve graph queries efficiently under high-cardinality data sets.
Solve fixpoint and cycle resolution issues in a horizontally scaled environment using advanced distributed patterns.
Architect non-deterministic approaches to probabilistic logic, ensuring system scalability without compromising mathematical rigor.
Define technical roadmaps for securing AI agents, establishing foundational products in the agentic identity space.

What we're looking for

Extensive experience as a Senior Architect or Distinguished Engineer in complex systems.
Hands-on coding skills to prove architectural concepts through code implementation.
Strong background in authorization/identity and mastery of graph algorithms.
Deep expertise in algorithmic innovation, including probabilistic structures and fixpoint algorithms.
Ability to design and implement workload-aware heuristics for low-latency graph queries.
Experience with technical strategy and setting high standards for engineering excellence.
