The Platform Identity Engineering team builds and runs the identity systems the whole firm relies on to authenticate and access what they need, spanning the firm's own identity solutions, workforce sign-on and access platforms, and public-cloud identity providers such as AWS, Entra, and Google Cloud. These are front-line, always-on systems. When they degrade, workforce sign-on and the applications that depend on them feel it immediately, so both the engineering and the operational bar are high.

As a Vice President Engineer, you will hold a leadership role on your team, demonstrate strong knowledge across multiple technical domains, and advise others on the technical and business issues facing them. You will lead resiliency design reviews, break complex problems into digestible work for other engineers, act as a technical lead for medium to large-sized products, and provide advice and mentoring to other engineers. This role blends software engineering with SRE: you will design and build the services, APIs, and automation behind these platforms, and you will own their reliability in production.
