The Position

The Opportunity

The Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) Technical Expert builds and supports secure authentication and identity integrations across applications. This hands-on role combines software engineering with deep troubleshooting: diagnosing login failures, tracing issues across systems, and restoring reliable service. Prior experience with a CIAM platform is useful, but strong engineering and authentication skills are the core requirements.

Responsibilities

Accountability/Problem Solving

• Design, build, test, and maintain authentication and identity integrations across frontend and backend applications.
• Troubleshoot complex login, session, token, API, and account issues in development and production. Reproduce failures, examine logs and system behavior, identify root causes, and implement lasting fixes.
• Write maintainable code and technical documentation, and review changes for security and reliability.

Stakeholder Management

• Work with application engineers, security teams, product owners, and external partners to resolve issues that span multiple systems.
• Explain findings and technical options clearly, coordinate incident resolution, and share knowledge that helps teams solve recurring problems.

Impact/Strategy

• Improve the security, reliability, and usability of authentication journeys across products and channels.
• Develop reusable approaches to API integration, token handling, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Support safe releases and use lessons from production issues to prevent repeat failures.

Who you are

• Strong software engineering skills, particularly in JavaScript and API integration, with experience in Java and AWS.
• Practical knowledge of JWT, session management, and authentication standards such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML.
• Substantial hands-on experience troubleshooting production applications and integrations, including using logs and diagnostic tools to trace issues across frontend, backend, and external services.
• Experience building or integrating secure login and account management flows.
• Able to take ownership of technical problems from initial investigation through resolution and follow-up.
• Experience with CIAM platforms, particularly SAP Customer Data Cloud (SAP CDC), is a plus.

Relocation benefits are not available for this job posting.
