* Location:

** Austin, TX   
** Team:
** Identity Security Cloud – Privileged Access

* Reports to:

** VP of Engineering##
** About the Role
** Static, standing privilege is one of the largest security risks in modern enterprises.

Our
** Just-In-Time (JIT) Privileged Access
** platform is redefining how access is granted—moving from always-on entitlements to
** context-aware, time-bound, policy-driven access
** that is issued only when needed and revoked automatically.

We are looking for a
** Senior Engineering Manager
** to lead a core area of the JIT platform. This role sits at the intersection of
** identity, authorization, security posture, and real-time decisioning**, and will directly impact how enterprises reduce risk while enabling velocity.

This is a
** high-visibility leadership role
** with deep architectural influence and ownership of mission-critical systems.##
** What You’ll Do**
* ** Lead and grow
** a high-performing engineering team building JIT access capabilities
* Drive the design and delivery of
** real-time authorization and privilege elevation workflows
*** Partner closely with
** Product, Security, Platform, and Cloud teams
** to shape roadmap and execution
* Own end-to-end delivery of systems that must be
** highly reliable, low-latency, and secure
*** Influence platform architecture across
** policy evaluation, approvals, enforcement, and revocation
*** Ensure strong operational excellence, including
** observability, resiliency, and incident readiness
*** Foster a culture of
** ownership, technical rigor, and continuous improvement**##
** What Makes This Role Special
*** You’ll build systems that
** actively reduce enterprise blast radius
*** Your work will be part of
** zero-trust and least-privilege enforcement at scale
*** You’ll operate at the core of
** identity, authorization, and security automation
*** You’ll help evolve JIT from a feature into a
** platform capability**##
** What We’re Looking For
*** 8+ years of software engineering experience, including
** 5+ years leading engineering teams
*** Strong experience with
** distributed systems, SaaS platforms, or cloud-native services
*** Background in
** security, identity, access control, or authorization systems
*** Experience building
** low-latency, event-driven, or real-time decisioning systems
*** Proven ability to translate complex security requirements into scalable engineering solutions
* Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills
** Nice to Have
*** Experience with
** PAM, JIT access, or zero-trust architectures
*** Familiarity with
** policy engines, RBAC/ABAC, or real-time authorization
*** Experience integrating with
** cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
** or enterprise SaaS platforms
* Knowledge of
** auditability, compliance, and security controls
