Aiven is an AI-ready open source data platform that combines open-source services to rapidly stream, store and serve data across major cloud providers — simply and securely. Backed by IVP.
About the role
We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Senior IAM Engineer to join our Security team. Identity is the control plane for Aiven. Every employee, service, and automation reaches our systems through it, which makes identity and access management the determining factor in ensuring access is efficient, audited, and controlled. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You’re an identity engineer with deep IdP expertise. Okta experience is strongly preferred, but other platforms (Entra ID/Ping) will be considered
- Five or more years in IAM, identity engineering, or a closely related security discipline , with demonstrable ownership of an identity platform rather than operational support
- Experience owning technical employee onboarding and offboarding end to end , including managing access requests and approvals, and automating fulfillment through Okta rather than provisioning manually
- Hands-on cloud IAM experience with at least one major cloud provider. AWS, GCP, or Azure - including roles, policies, permission boundaries, and identity federation
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code for identity resources , such as Terraform, so that access configuration is version-controlled and reviewable
- Comfort with ambiguity and a strong sense of ownership. Much of this work is undefined until someone defines it, and we are looking for the person who will write it down
More about this role
We’re a global team of over 400 people, working together to push the boundaries of open-source technology and multi-cloud solutions. Our vision is to help developers, builders, and creators bring their ideas to life with speed and simplicity, by providing a cloud data platform that makes open-source databases, search, streaming, and application infrastructure easily accessible to everyone.
You'd be joining an experienced and highly-engaged Security & Compliance team, working closely with Product Security, Security Operations, and Compliance. Identity touches every part of the org, so you'd have real influence over the roadmap and trajectory of Security more broadly, not just IAM. You'd be collaborating with people across the globe, with plenty of opportunity to grow your skillset across a genuinely multi-cloud footprint.
