Job description

At Weights & Biases, our mission is to build the best tools for AI developers. We founded our company on the insight that while there were excellent tools for developers to build better code, there were no similarly great tools to help ML practitioners build better models.

Weights & Biases is a Series C company with $250M in funding and over 200 employees. We proudly serve over 1,000 customers and more than 30 foundation model builders including customers such as OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Toyota.

Understanding the critical importance of security for our users, we prioritize building features that not only enhance authentication and authorization experiences but also ensure the seamless and secure integration of our services. As we expand our capabilities, the team develops robust access control tools that empower other engineering teams to build new features and applications confidently.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate the APIs and services that power Weights & Biases authentication and authorization

Requirements:

• Minimum of 5 years experience as software engineer in a professional setting
• Solid understanding of various authentication protocols including but not limited to Sessions, JWT, OIDC, SAML, and LDAP is a plus.
• Demonstrable expertise in designing, developing, and managing complex authentication systems, role-based access control mechanisms, and audit log management processes.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to identifying, diagnosing, and resolving system glitches as well as programming issues.
• The candidate must display a readiness to take on different roles, functions, and responsibilities as required by the project or the team.
• An ability to work and deliver independently, desirably with a proven track record of completing tasks within stipulated time frames.
