  • Run the team AI-native, using agents for routing, scoping and status reporting
  • Work with enterprise customers and security teams on access-control requirements
  • Own on-call, safe migrations and reliability, and uphold the engineering bar

What they ask for

  • 3+ years managing engineering teams, including senior engineers
  • Hands-on identity and access management: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, JWT, MFA, SSO, SCIM and RBAC
  • Proven use of AI tools and agentic workflows to cut busywork in a team
