Job description

Who We Are Is What We Do.

Deel is the all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams. Our vision is to unlock global opportunity for every person, team, and business. Built for the way the world works today, Deel combines HRIS, payroll, compliance, benefits, performance, and equipment management into one seamless platform. With AI-powered tools and a fully owned payroll infrastructure, Deel supports every worker type in 150+ countries—helping businesses scale smarter, faster, and more compliantly.

Why should you be part of our success story?

As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies – breaking down borders that have traditionally limited both hiring and career opportunities. We're not just building software; we're creating the infrastructure for the future of work, enabling a more diverse and inclusive global economy. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries—ensuring people get paid and protected, no matter where they are. Our momentum is reflected in our achievements and customer satisfaction: CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator's top companies list – all while maintaining a 4.83 average rating from 15,000 reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Captera, Apple and Google. Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $17.3 billion valuation and $1 B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.

About The Role

You’ll own the Platform vertical for Deel. This covers identity and access management: authentication, authorization, role-based access control (RBAC), SSO, compliance, and identity verification. This is foundational infrastructure. Everything Deel does depends on it working. You’ll need to be experienced in regulated and technical domains, pragmatic, and comfortable making trade‑off decisions under pressure. The context Deel operates across 150+ countries with a complex global workforce. Platform layer sits underneath the entire business. You’ll work with Compliance, Legal, IT, Access Management, and Data teams. Each has legitimate needs and priorities. Your job is to navigate those constraints and deliver strategies that work. You’ll be designing for sophistication; how identity maps across different work contexts and use cases, how verification and compliance requirements translate into product flows and how to scale authentication and authorization across regions with different regulatory frameworks.

What you’ll do

• Define and own the roadmap for identity and access management


• Work across Compliance, Legal, IT, and Data to translate requirements into product decisions


• Design identity architecture that handles diverse user types and work contexts


• Develop identity verification and compliance strategies that scale globally


• Prioritize and manage competing stakeholder requests


• Own production stability and incident response for identity and access systems


• Break down complex technical and regulatory requirements into a shippable roadmap

What we’re looking for

Must Have

• 5+ years of product experience in identity, security, or platform infrastructure


• Deep technical fluency in IAM, authentication, authorization, or related systems


• Strong filter for competing priorities. You can synthesize multiple stakeholder needs and come back with clear direction


• Comfort with ambiguity and trade-offs. You won’t have perfect solutions, but you’ll know when good enough is good enough


• Proven ability to work effectively across technical, compliance, and operational teams


• Experience shipping infrastructure or platform products at scale

Ideal To Have

• Experience with global regulatory requirements or compliance frameworks


• Track record managing complex stakeholder dynamics or political situations


• Familiarity with multi‑tenant systems or context‑based access patterns


• Background in HR tech, workforce management, or international business
