TL;DR · Software Engineer, IAM, Cloud Security

Join eBay’s Identity & Access Management / Cloud Security team as a senior software engineer, where you will design and deliver intelligent access control platforms for both human users and AI-centric entities like agents and bots. Your day-to-day involves implementing dynamic authorization models using real-time context to enhance security while improving user experience, building scalable APIs and microservices for secure access controls, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to establish standards for AI-native systems. Ideal candidates have 7+ years of experience in cloud-native environments, proficiency in backend development languages like Java or Node.js, and a solid grasp of authorization models such as RBAC, ABAC, and PBAC. Familiarity with modern security patterns like OAuth2, OIDC, and OPA is essential, along with practical AI/ML experience to drive continuous improvement in a distributed cloud setting.

What you'll do

  • Design and deliver AI-centric access control platforms for eBay’s cloud environments.
  • Implement dynamic authorization models using real-time context and behavioral insights.
  • Build real-time authorization engines that continuously evaluate signals to manage access.
  • Create scalable, developer-friendly APIs for secure access controls in microservices.
  • Establish standards and guidelines for access control in AI-native system scenarios.
  • Use AI-powered tools and modern engineering practices to improve code quality.
  • Collaborate with security, platform, and AI teams on distributed cloud projects.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in access management, IAM, or security-focused systems in cloud-native environments.
  • Expertise in authorization models (RBAC, ABAC, PBAC) and policy-based authorization platforms.
  • Proficiency in backend development with Java, Node.js, and building scalable APIs/microservices for security services.
  • Strong understanding of AI/ML concepts and practical experience using AI-powered tools in application development.
  • Familiarity with modern identity and security patterns like OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, Zero Trust, and continuous access evaluation.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across teams including security, platform, and AI, optimizing for global scale.
