Role Overview

is seeking a Principal Tech Lead Manager (TLM) to lead the engineering teams responsible for two foundational platform domains: the Organization Platform and the Data Acquisition & Normalization team. Together, these teams define how organizations are represented, validated, and trusted within 's Identity Trust Graph - and how the attribute data powering those trust decisions is acquired, normalized, and kept current.

The Organization Platform team owns the APIs and services that create, validate, and manage organization records, applications, domain verification, business onboarding, and org-to-org relationships. This is the authoritative source of truth for how businesses and institutions are represented across 's ecosystem - powering developer portal adoption, partner integrations, and downstream identity workflows.

The Data Acquisition & Normalization team is the execution arm of the Identity Trust Graph - building and operating connectors to authoritative and commercial data sources (government registries, telcos, licensing authorities, commercial data providers), normalizing heterogeneous data into clean schemas, and feeding validated attributes into the trust graph at internet scale.

As a TLM at the Principal level, you will be accountable for the technical architecture, delivery, reliability, and operational health of both platforms, as well as the growth and performance of the engineers delivering them. You will partner closely with Product, Security, Compliance, and enterprise stakeholders to drive a roadmap that balances velocity with the rigor these domains demand.

This position will be based full-time in our Mountain View, CA office five days per week.
