The opportunity
WorkOS builds modern developer tools and APIs that make it easy for companies to become Enterprise Ready. Our platform powers authentication, identity, authorization, and other critical infrastructure that developers need to securely scale their products to large organizations.
What you'll do
Build workload identity infrastructure. Make short-lived identity credentials: a default part of every application's runtime environment, in partnership with application platform owners.
Bring identity-based authentication to internal services. Work with the: owners of major internal dependencies to support identity certificates, make them the golden path for newly onboarding applications, and drive migration of existing ones.
Eliminate static secrets. Replace all static passwords and service tokens: with short-lived identity credentials, and build identity-authenticated egress proxies and API abstractions that inject and automatically rotate managed secrets for the external dependencies that still require them.
Unify authorization. Build a single interface and framework through which: authorization policies are centrally managed and enforced.
What they're looking for
- + years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on: security-related platform, infrastructure, or distributed systems.
- Strong working knowledge of secrets management, fine-grained authorization, and workload identity systems.
- Familiarity with the Kubernetes ecosystem and authentication/authorization: technologies such as JWTs, X.509 certificates, PKI, cert-manager, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and OPA.
- Experience building and operating production infrastructure that other teams: depend on, with attention to availability and failure modes.
- Proven ability to drive cross-team adoption of platform capabilities or lead large-scale migrations.
- k matching
- Competitive Equity
- Healthcare, dental and vision coverage
