Engineering Manager, Security Platform: Authentication
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Bangalore, India
Our take: The real work here is building and growing an authentication engineering team that reliably delivers migration-heavy, cross-team programs where security and clear written decisions come first.
If you love turning a group of engineers into a team that owns something real, this is authentication at the scale where mistakes matter and clarity wins. You will hire and grow people, protect their focus, and steer multi-quarter work that many other teams lean on, all while staying technically credible in OAuth, OIDC and SAML. The reward is a culture where security comes first, decisions get written down, and code review is both thorough and kind.
