Job description

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Admin & Identity and Access Management (Admin & IAM) team at the company defines how users sign in, manage their identities, and access the company's products, as well as how administrators configure and govern their organizations. We own authentication & authorization, Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), user provisioning (SCIM), session management, and the core permission model that powers roles and access control across companies and workspaces. We also own the enterprise administration experience; the configuration and controls that company and workspace admins use to manage their organizations and users. By providing secure, clear, and intuitive controls for users and administrators, we help organizations adopt the company quickly and collaborate with confidence.

YOUR MISSION

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Admin & IAM team, you will design and ship these capabilities end-to-end, from identity primitives like the permission model and authentication flows to the admin surfaces enterprise customers use every day. Senior Engineers on Admin & IAM own complex technical initiatives, influence platform and security best practices, and collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Infrastructure to deliver secure experiences that feel simple and intuitive. You will report to an Engineering Manager and work with a small, focused team in a remote-first environment, with the option to work from our Buenos Aires office.
