Backend Identity Platform Engineer (SSO/IAM)

Base Power Company; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Base is seeking Software Engineers to build the Identity Provider and Authorization platform that decides who — and what — can access Base's systems. You will own the platform layer that turns fragmented access into a single auditable identity system across internal apps and cloud infrastructure.

You will design core primitives for identity and access—workforce SSO, cloud federation, entitlements-as-code, and workload identity backed by a governed PKI.

Qualifications

• Experience designing or operating identity systems (SSO/IdP, authn/authz, entitlements, or workload identity).
• Working knowledge of OIDC, SAML, and SCIM, and judgment about when to use each.
• Comfort with cryptographic identity primitives—PKI, mTLS, or hardware-backed keys.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate Okta as Base's workforce identity provider — SSO, SAML/OIDC app integrations, SCIM provisioning, and joiner/mover/leaver lifecycle automation.
