About the role
- About Delinea: Delinea is a pioneer in securing human and machine identities through intelligent, centralized authorization, empowering organizations to seamlessly govern their interactions across the modern enterprise.
- We value diversity, innovation, and a culture of respect and fairness.
Responsibilities
- Design the identity model for AI agents, including delegated (on-behalf-of) actions, composite identities, and how agent activity is attributed for audit.
- Build the authorization engine that decides in real time what an agent is allowed to do, and help select the underlying policy technology such as Cedar, OPA, or AuthZEN.
- Build authorization and continuous-evaluation capabilities that draw on the live session and decision signals our identity products already produce.
- Own the interfaces and contracts the rest of the platform builds against, and keep them clean as the platform grows.
- Hands-on experience building authorization or policy systems such as Cedar, OPA, OpenFGA, or a comparable engine.
- A track record of designing systems and interfaces that other teams build on at scale.
- Ability to lead technical decisions that span multiple teams and communicate them clearly to varied audiences.
- In this foundational role you will design and build the core identity and authorization building blocks that everything else in our AI security platform depends on, from how we model agent identity and delegated actions to how we decide what an agent can do at runtime.
- The interfaces you define set the technical direction for the teams building on top of you.
- We act with integrity and deliver on our commitments
Requirements
- Typically 10 or more years of software engineering experience, with deep expertise in identity, authorization, or distributed systems security.
- Working knowledge of identity and token standards such as OAuth, OpenID Connect, SPIFFE and SPIRE, or workload identity federation.
- Experience securing AI or agentic systems.
Skills
- Our success is driven by world-class product leadership, outstanding engineers, and strategic investment from TPG.
Visa & Work Authorization
- For this Job, Delinea is not considering candidates that need any type of US work authorization now or in the future.
