This position on the Cyber Security team is responsible for developing, maintaining and automating Identity & Access Management (IAM) solutions and operations at Zoox. This role requires a strong understanding of security principles, modern IAM methodologies (e.g., Zero Trust, least privilege), and a deep commitment to infrastructure-as-code and API-driven development practices.

Define and enforce standards and policies related to identity, authentication, and authorization across the entire technology stack.
Stay current with emerging threats, technologies, and industry best practices in identity and access management.
Qualifications

Extensive experience with modern authentication and authorization standards (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, SCIM).
Bonus Qualifications
