We are looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer to join our Identity Engineering team. In this role, you will help build, operate, and continuously improve the security foundations that protect our services-especially around authentication, authorization, and API protection in cloud-native environments.

You will work closely with application engineering, platform teams, and SRE to implement secure identity patterns and support the day-to-day reliability and security of identity services. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building, automating, learning, and collaborating.

Key responsibilities include:

• Implementing and supporting identity and authorization capabilities used across internal and external services
• Assisting in the adoption of standard authentication and authorization patterns based on OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
• Supporting API security controls via API Gateway (preferably Kong), including authentication flows and policy enforcement
• Helping engineering teams integrate identity solutions into their APIs/services following established security guidance
• Writing and maintaining infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) under existing patterns and reviews
• Supporting and troubleshooting Kubernetes workloads related to identity services (deployments, configs, runtime issues)
• Contributing to cloud security and architecture discussions with a security-first mindset
• Participating in operational routines: on-call support (when applicable), incident response support, post-incident follow-ups, and improvements
• Improving documentation, runbooks, and internal enablement materials for identity integrations
• Continuously learning modern identity, cloud security, and DevOps practices, and applying them in day-to-day work
