Engineering Manager - Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience in engineering management, particularly in identity and access management systems — you've successfully led teams in building secure and scalable solutions that meet regulatory compliance and industry best practices. Your technical background includes expertise in cloud technologies, especially AWS, and programming languages such as Java and Python, which you leverage to guide your team in delivering high-quality IAM solutions.

You possess strong leadership skills — you know how to attract, develop, and retain top engineering talent while fostering a collaborative and high-performing team culture. Your experience includes defining technical strategies and overseeing architecture and design decisions, ensuring that your team delivers pragmatic solutions that align with business goals.

You are a strategic thinker who can partner effectively with product and engineering leaders across the organization — you understand the importance of embedding secure identity solutions into every aspect of the product and can communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. You are committed to continuous improvement and are always looking for ways to enhance processes and team performance.

Desirable
