  • Design and evolve OAuth 2.0 / OIDC flows, token lifecycle, and related security primitives.
  • Drive protocol, data modeling, and platform reliability decisions while building alignment across engineering and security teams.

  • Define engineering standards and review critical code and designs.
  • Create leverage for the team through documentation, tooling, and mentorship.

  • Experience deploying, operating, and debugging services in Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Kafka or NATS, including event-driven patterns, consumer groups, and at-least-once delivery.
  • Proven ability to lead multi-quarter technical initiatives across teams and influence architecture beyond your immediate team.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including writing RFCs and design docs that people actually read.
  • Experience working in the video game industry or building platforms for game developers, publishers, or players.
  • Hands-on experience with the Ory ecosystem (Hydra, Kratos, Keto) in production or via its APIs, preferred.
  • Experience with CockroachDB or other distributed SQL databases, preferred.
  • Familiarity with IAM-related compliance requirements such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR data minimization, and audit logging, preferred.
  • Contributions to open-source security or identity projects, preferred.
  • Experience building or integrating with SCIM, SAML, or enterprise SSO (LDAP / Active Directory), preferred.
