Identity Platform Lead

About

This is a career-defining opportunity to lead the transformation of identity for a global platform serving 10M+ users across 100+ services.

You will be the first hire in this space, owning the architecture, vendor integration, and migration of a 10+ year legacy identity system into a modern, distributed microservices ecosystem.

You won’t just improve systems - you’ll rebuild identity at scale.

Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end migration of identity from a monolithic system into a shared microservice platform
• Own the integration of Auth0 (Okta) into a complex, large-scale production environment
• Architect and deliver identity systems supporting B2C and B2B2C products at global scale
• Design secure, resilient authentication flows (OAuth2, OIDC, MFA, passkeys, etc.)
• Drive system design across 100+ microservices, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance
• Partner with engineering leadership to define identity strategy and roadmap
• Build and lead a new team from the ground up

Requirements

• Has led full identity vendor migrations (not just integrations) in large environments (~10M users, legacy systems)
• Strong systems architect capable of designing distributed identity platforms and migration strategies
• Deep experience in Customer Identity (CIAM) - not just workforce IAM
• Comfortable working across identity vendors/APIs (Auth0/Okta a plus, not required)
• Proven ability to extract identity from monoliths into microservices architectures
• Has led or built teams, ideally as an early or first hire

If you want to solve one of the hardest problems in modern infrastructure — while shaping a team and platform used globally — we’d love to hear from you.
