Site Reliability Engineer - Digital Workplace (Identity Access Management)

Job Description

We are looking for a passionate Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join Spotify’s Identity and Access Management team in our Productivity Engineering Studio, the team responsible for advancing the digital workplace at Spotify. This Engineer will be a part of creating a more lightweight and robust environment to manage identity and access for Spotifiers. Our mission is to give every Spotifier the best possible user experience from the moment they open their device. By doing so we seek to remove all barriers to collaboration, enabling every employee to work freely and securely—with an experience that makes Spotify into one of the best places to work. As an SRE in the IAM space, you will combine software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems with a focus on optimizing systems and implementing and managing identity services and platforms. At Spotify, our engineers are at the forefront of the SRE profession and are empowered to work on significant projects. Their expertise has been featured in both editions of O’Reilly’s “Site Reliability Handbook.” They achieve this from an environment that encourages intellectual curiosity, problem-solving, and openness—one that provides the support and mentorship needed to “safe to fail”, to learn, and to grow

What You'll Do

• Manage and improve the whole lifecycle for services—from inception and design, through deployment, operation and optimization.
• Support product rollout of new IAM features, processes and new technologies.
• Support and work with partners to identify and mitigate complex IAM and other risk areas, including internal controls and other related opportunities for improvements.
• Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.
• Participate in disaster recovery, incident resolution, capacity planning, monitoring and maintenance to ensure high availability.

Who Are You

• A valued team player in a dynamic, autonomous, multi-functional agile team.
• Experienced in designing, analyzing, optimizing code and solving large-scale distributed systems.
• Proven track record in delivering identity solutions that are functional, secure, scalable, and reliable.
• Strong technical knowledge and product experience of IAM systems, protocols and standards including but not limited to SAML, SCIM, OAuth, OIDC, LDAP and Okta.
• Know how to write distributed, high-performance services in Java or Python and are experienced deploying and operating services on Linux based infrastructure in GCP, Azure or AWS.
• Have a systematic problem-solving approach, coupled with effective communication skills and a sense of drive
• Love working on a team where you constantly learn, experiment, and iterate quickly

Where You'll Be

• Where in the world? This role will be located in Germany
• Working hours? We operate within Central European for collaboration and ask that all be located in that time zone.
• This role requires joining the on-call rotation.
