- Mentor and coach engineering teams on secure service design, identity best practices, and cross-service communication patterns.
- Partner with product teams to ensure that identity-related features — such as player login, entitlement management, and account linking — are scalable, compliant, and user-friendly.
- Define and enforce API and data security standards, supporting compliance initiatives such as GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
- Evaluate and integrate third-party IAM frameworks or open-source solutions (e.g., Keycloak, Auth0, ForgeRock) as part of Xsolla’s hybrid identity strategy.
Requirements
- 10+ years in backend or systems engineering, including 5+ years designing and implementing IAM or authentication services.
- Expert-level skills in Golang, with experience building and scaling distributed, event-driven microservices.
- Proven track record with identity federation, token management, and access control systems.
- In-depth understanding of authentication and authorization standards (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, JWT, SCIM).
- Solid grasp of security principles, encryption, key management, and secrets management systems (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS KMS).
- Experience building high-availability systems in Kubernetes-based environments using AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Strong architectural vision with the ability to influence cross-team design and technology direction.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills across distributed teams.
