## About the role

GoFundMe is hiring a Senior Staff Software Engineer, Identity & Access Management to lead the architecture, evolution, and reliability of our IAM platform: the foundational layer that every product team, enterprise partner, and internal service builds on. You will set the technical direction for how millions of people authenticate, how nonprofit partners federate into GoFundMe, and how engineering teams consume identity with confidence.

## What they're looking for

- Own the enterprise identity onboarding experience for our nonprofit customers: repeatable, self-service SSO, SCIM provisioning, and multi-tenant trust patterns that scale without bespoke integration per partner
- Architect federation and provisioning patterns (OIDC, SAML 2.0, SCIM) that hold up across a wide range of enterprise IdP configurations, from large institutions to small grassroots organizations
- Make principled build vs. integrate decisions across vendor platforms (Descope, Auth0, Okta) and in-house systems, owning the tradeoffs, migration paths, and long-term cost of change
- Establish policy enforcement architecture (PEP and PAP) and the contracts by which authorization decisions are reliably enforced at runtime across consumer and enterprise surfaces
- Own the IAM technical roadmap , prioritizing initiatives based on user impact, enterprise requirements, compliance obligations, and technical feasibility
- Partner with Identity & Risk Intelligence, Payments, Security, and Integrity as the IAM platform interface for the systems that depend on it
