Full Job Description
Role Overview As the founding member of the Users Infrastructure team in India, you will architect the foundational security and identity substrate that every Weave product depends on. This is a high-leverage role requiring a blend of secure backend engineering and the leadership maturity to grow a new regional hub for a Tier-1 infrastructure unit. What You Will Do You will own the core services responsible for authenticating every entity—human and machine—within the ecosystem. This includes managing the trade-offs between stateless scalability and real-time session revocation. You will also define how fine-grained permissions are modeled, inherited, and enforced across a massive, multi-tenant hierarchy of organizations and locations. Why It Might Be a Fit You have previously been an early member of a distributed team and understand how to build culture across time zones. You treat 'Zero-Trust' as a default, not a buzzword, and have experience with Zanzibar-style authorization or SpiceDB. Requirements 5+ years of backend engineering with significant time spent building distributed systems in Go. Deep understanding of AuthN/AuthZ primitives: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and JWT mechanics. Proven ability to manage complex data migrations, distributed architecture and build gRPC-based microservices. Exceptional written clarity; the ability to write Technical Design Documents (TPDs) that bridge the gap between India and US-based stakeholders. Benefits Employment with Weave is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, conducted in accordance with applicable laws.
