Partner on the decision engine architecture, focusing on low-latency authorization checks and consistency tradeoffs.
Work with platform, security, and IAM teams to integrate authorization checks into services.
Build reference implementations, SDKs, and middleware for adoption by other engineering teams.
Contribute to testing practices and the migration plan to a single policy engine.

Requirements

5–8+ years backend/software engineering experience shipping production systems.
Hands-on experience working on or building an authorization system with solid RBAC fundamentals.
Solid conceptual grounding in authorization fundamentals, able to reason through tradeoffs between RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC approaches.
Some exposure to evaluating or integrating a policy engine/framework or an equivalent in-house system.
