📋 Description

• Drive the architecture and delivery of a new permission service — from first design doc to production, including data model, policy evaluation engine, enforcement APIs, and token contract • Define BambooHR's AuthN/AuthZ standards — the patterns for authentication flows, token issuance, scoped authorization, and role/attribute-based access control that product teams rely on • Design the API contract for the permission service: how callers request access decisions, how policies are defined, and how enforcement is decoupled from individual product domains • Drive token strategy — JWT issuance, rotation, scoping, revocation, and the relationship between tokens and permissions across both human and machine (API/agent) callers • Partner with product and platform teams to translate domain-specific access control requirements into reusable permission primitives that scale across the organization • Lead architectural reviews for features with AuthN/AuthZ implications; catch design debt before it ships • Collaborate with Security and Compliance to ensure the permission service meets audit, least-privilege, and zero-trust requirements • Set the technical bar for the Token Titans team: mentor engineers, lead RFCs, and ensure implementation quality matches architectural intent

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years operating at Staff or Principal level • Deep expertise in identity and access management — authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML), authorization models (RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC), and token lifecycle management (JWTs, opaque tokens, refresh/rotation strategies) • Demonstrated experience designing and building AuthN/AuthZ systems at scale — not just integrating with them, but owning the architecture that others build on • Strong instincts for policy-as-code, permission modeling, and how to express complex access rules as a clean, evolvable data model • Experience designing or reviewing OpenAPI specifications, event-driven architectures, and cross-service communication patterns in a service-oriented or microservice environment • Strong backend engineering fundamentals; comfort working in a PHP monolith with modern architectural patterns • Proven ability to drive org-wide architectural decisions — writing RFCs, leading reviews, building consensus across teams with competing priorities • Excellent communication skills: precise written specs, verbal presentations to engineering leadership, and the ability to explain tradeoffs in identity and security without losing the room.
