We're looking for an Identity Platform Engineer to support and enhance an enterprise OpenID Connect platform used across a large application ecosystem.
You'll work across application, platform, and infrastructure layers — investigating issues, onboarding clients, maintaining services, and improving how the platform runs day to day.
