Senior Manager, Engineering - Identity & Access Management

Accountabilities

• • Lead, hire, mentor, and develop the Identity & Access Management engineering team, owning performance, career development, team structure, and thoughtful scaling as enterprise investment grows.
  • Own delivery of the enterprise-grade IAM platform, including authorization engines, permission and role models, enterprise authentication, SSO, MFA/2FA, session and token management, SCIM provisioning, sharing controls, audit logs, OAuth/API token management, and supporting data models and APIs.
  • Establish roadmap priorities in partnership with Product, Security, and Engineering leadership, continuously improving identity, access, and administrative capabilities to meet demanding enterprise requirements.
  • Run an AI-native engineering organization by structuring work for agent-assisted routing, reporting, triage, and execution, reducing manual processes and eliminating unnecessary status meetings.
  • Partner directly with enterprise customers, go-to-market teams, and security stakeholders to understand access-control and identity requirements and contribute to enterprise security and architecture discussions.
  • Own operational excellence for high-blast-radius services, including reliability, safe migrations, on-call health, incident readiness, and maintaining the server as the authoritative source of truth.
  • Maintain a high engineering standard across architecture, design and code reviews, testing, performance, reliability, and security-by-design.
  • Collaborate across backend, frontend, platform, Product, Design, and Information Security teams to deliver consistent and intuitive access experiences.
  • Work closely with Staff-level technical leadership to establish sound technical direction while maintaining ownership of people, delivery, priorities, and execution.

  Requirements:

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building production SaaS products, including at least 3 years managing engineering teams and senior-level engineers.
  • Hands-on Identity & Access Management experience, including authentication and authorization systems using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, JWTs, MFA/2FA, enterprise SSO, SCIM, and RBAC or comparable permission and role models.
  • Experience using AI tools and agentic workflows to automate reporting, triage, status tracking, and other operational processes, with demonstrated ability to integrate AI into daily engineering workflows.
  • Proven experience delivering enterprise-grade SaaS at scale and working directly with enterprise customers and their security, compliance, and administrative requirements.
  • Strong track record of hiring, developing, and retaining high-performing engineering teams.
  • Sufficient technical depth to lead architecture discussions, evaluate trade-offs, and make sound decisions for high-blast-radius systems without needing to be the primary implementer.
  • Security-first mindset with a strong focus on precise access controls, correctness, auditability, reliability, and minimizing operational blast radius.
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills across Engineering, Product, Design, Security, and other stakeholder groups.
  • Daily fluency with modern AI tools and a demonstrated willingness to continuously improve AI-enabled engineering practices.
  • Preferred experience includes managing IAM or authorization platforms at significant scale, working with multi-tenant or workspace-scoped identity models, and designing configuration-driven or policy-based authorization systems such as RBAC/ABAC.
  • Additional preferred experience includes SCIM, audit logging, enterprise compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001, Zero Trust identity, moving products upmarket, and introducing AI-native operating models to engineering teams.
