Security Engineer 5 - IAM

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

About The Team

Netflix’s Enterprise Identity & Access Management use cases have grown increasingly complex with our investments in Original content, Live events, Gaming, Ads, Attractions, subsidiary acquisitions, and more. The Identity Integrations and Solutions Engineering (IISE) team is a central security team that supports the Netflix workforce and our partners. We leverage standards-based Identity solutions to connect business and technical teams across the globe to the applications and tools they need to do their best work. 

About The Role

We are looking for a stunning colleague to help us design and build Identity and Access security solutions for Netflix’s global population of employees, contractors,  and external partners across all business verticals. 

Your deep IAM domain expertise will be critical and impactful in pursuit of our dual-mission: reduce risk for Netflix while meeting the speed of business for our partners. You will participate in all aspects of solution design and delivery; including implementation, partner integration, and rollout strategy. Internally, you will work closely with stakeholders across the Security and Engineering organizations in areas of federated authentication, user provisioning and deprovisioning, identity governance, compliance, and access management. Externally, you will partner with Netflix’s wide range of vendors and service providers to consult, integrate, and even improve the Identity capabilities of third-party systems.

What you’ll need to be successful

• You are a pragmatic and hands-on security engineer with a proven track record of architecting, building and operating complex Identity Lifecycle and Access Control solutions.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills combined with a product-focused mindset. Explaining complicated IAM concepts in simple language is absolutely necessary in this role to drive alignment with our many stakeholders.

• You prefer collaboration and problem solving over process and prescription. You are comfortable dealing with ambiguity and independent decision making.

• You have strong IAM fundamentals including experience with authentication and authorization standards and protocols  (OpenID Connect, SCIM, OAuth, SAML, LDAP)

• You have deep domain expertise with all phases of the workforce Identity Lifecycle, starting with inception in upstream HCM platforms and continuing downstream across first and third party applications.

• Hands-on experience working with vendor IAM solutions such as Okta Workflows, Okta Identity Engine, Auth0, or equivalent.

• Experience with acquisition-driven identity integrations and migrations is strongly preferred, including knowledge of best practices and scalable integration patterns.

• Experience in CI/CD with at least one modern programming language such as Java (preferred) or Python. The role requires frequent reading and occasional writing to internal codebases.

• Experience running services on top of a Cloud computing platform, particularly AWS.
