Your role in the team
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a key technology at Zalando, providing secure access to our services and tools for tens of thousands of employees, partner businesses, contractors, customer care agents, and logistics staff.
- As a Senior IAM Engineer, you will work in this dynamic environment at the intersection of Software Engineering and Systems Engineering, collaborating with a talented and diverse team to shape, build, and operate Zalando’s evolving IAM technology stack.
- You will work across identity governance, access lifecycle automation, and platform integrations, making a direct impact on how Zalando manages and secures access at scale.
- Own and evolve a modern, cloud-native IAM platform, keeping it reliable, secure, and ahead of the curve as the identity landscape and business needs change.
- Design, build, and maintain integrations between our IAM platform and business applications, using native connectors, SCIM interfaces or custom API integrations, owning the result end-to-end.
- Extend our infrastructure-as-code tooling and custom connector implementations, closing the gaps that SaaS vendors leave uncovered.
- Drive automated provisioning across the full Joiner-Mover-Leaver lifecycle, reducing manual steps and working toward fully automated coverage across all integrated systems.
- Build data pipelines for archiving, analytics, and anomaly detection on identity and access data, turning IAM events into operational insights.
- Monitor the systems for which you're responsible; define alerts, participate in on-call rotations, and generally follow Site Reliability Engineering best practices.
- Improve our end-to-end test automation framework with a focus on acceptance testing against live platform APIs, ensuring the reliability of our services and the business processes that depend on them.
- Manage and advise internal stakeholders on best practices for cross-domain identity and access management, including access models; gather their requirements and enhance existing services.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You understand access governance concepts such as Joiner-Mover-Leaver lifecycle management, access certifications, and role management, and know how they translate into platform logic and custom code.
- You are highly skilled as a software engineer in a compiled language, with Golang as the preferred choice.
- You are comfortable writing production-grade code, CLIs, tooling extensions, and automated tests.
- You have a working understanding of identity protocols (SCIM, OIDC, OAuth2, SAML) and have implemented integrations using them.
- You have a DevOps mindset: you treat operations as an engineering problem, write infrastructure as code, and are comfortable deploying and running services in a cloud environment.
- You like distilling domain knowledge and working across system boundaries, taking ambiguous requirements and turning them into well-scoped, well-tested solutions.
Experience
- You have hands-on engineering experience with an enterprise IAM or IGA platform (Saviynt, SailPoint, Okta, or comparable) and have built integrations, connectors, or extensions for it—not just configured workflows through a UI.
