About the role
Join us at DigitalOcean, where you'll engage with a vibrant community of exceptional talent driven by a shared mission to create the most user-friendly and scalable cloud solutions. If you possess a growth mindset and thrive in a dynamic environment marked by innovation and disruption, this is the perfect opportunity for you. We are committed to winning together while learning, enjoying our work, and making a significant impact for dreamers and builders worldwide.
We are looking for a seasoned Product Manager to spearhead our Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) initiatives. This position emphasizes developing customer-oriented identity and collaboration features rather than internal IT solutions. You will architect and deliver a robust security framework that empowers our customers to manage users, teams, projects, and cloud resources securely at scale.
As the IAM/RBAC Technical Product Manager, you will define the overall strategy for our identity platform, which includes user onboarding, authentication (such as 2FA), and nuanced role-based access controls. You will also shape the vision for machine identity, allowing workloads and services to authenticate and interact securely using modern, ephemeral credentials instead of static secrets.
In this role, you will establish the roadmap for Customer Identity (CIAM) and secure collaboration, collaborating closely with engineering, design, security, sales, and customers to deliver impactful, scalable solutions. You will assess product performance, integrate customer feedback, and continuously enhance the platform to cater to the needs of evolving, security-focused organizations.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the vision for Platform IAM
Formulate and drive the long-term strategy for identity and access management throughout the platform. Define the roadmap for access controls, permissions, and secure authentication protocols that protect customers while supporting growth. - Create modern workload identity systems
Oversee the development of a cloud-native workload identity framework that allows compute resources to adopt ephemeral, short-lived identities for secure, least-privilege access to platform services. - Implement service authorization
Establish standards and deliver solutions for secure service-to-service authentication and authorization. Ensure that backend systems communicate and verify one another within a scalable architecture. - Provide developer-centric security experiences
Convert complex security requirements into developer-friendly solutions that enhance usability and security.
