Software EngineerSoftware Engineering

We're looking for a Software Engineer with Identity and Access Management (IAM) domain experience to support and enhance an enterprise OpenID Connect platform used across a large application ecosystem.

This is primarily an application engineering role, not a Kubernetes, DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering position. You'll work on the identity platform itself. Investigating authentication and authorization issues, onboarding applications, maintaining Node.js/TypeScript services, implementing platform enhancements, and troubleshooting complex OAuth2 and OpenID Connect workflows.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience building, supporting, or extending identity platforms and a strong understanding of OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWTs, claims, scopes, MFA, and identity federation. You should be comfortable reading and modifying application code, debugging production issues, and diagnosing problems across application, data, and infrastructure layers.

This role operates with core collaboration hours of 6:00 PM – 12:00 AM IST to provide overlap with global teams. Outside of core hours, work is flexible and outcome-focused.
